From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career. THE ROLE:AMD is looking for an AI Platform Security Engineer to join the Product Security Office (PSO) in securing the platforms that run the world’s most demanding AI workloads. Working across hardware, firmware, and software, you will implement and validate security features on internal test platforms, conduct security assessments, and drive the resolution of security issues, including those raised by customers. You will turn security requirements and designs into working, verified results on real systems, at the center of how the world’s leading AI companies build and secure their infrastructure. THE PERSON:The ideal candidate is an experienced security engineer who is effective at implementing and validating security on real systems. You are comfortable owning a problem end to end, from analysis and reproduction through developing and verifying the fix. You communicate effectively and work optimally with customers and with different teams across AMD. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:Implement, configure, and validate platform security features for AI systems on internal test platformsConduct security assessments of platforms, firmware, and AI systems, and clearly communicate findings and remediationDevelop, review, and apply security fixes, and verify them on real hardwareAnalyze, reproduce, and drive resolution of security issues reported by internal teams, customers, and researchersSupport customer security requirements and respond to customer security inquiries and findingsEstablish and maintain secure builds and AI harnessesProvision and manage keys, certificates, and device identities for secure boot, attestation, and platform bring-upDevelop tooling and automation that make security testing and remediation more efficient and repeatablePartner with architecture, firmware, and software teams to get fixes designed, implemented, and verifiedApply AI-assisted engineering tooling to accelerate assessment, remediation, and documentation PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:Multiple years' experience in security engineering or platform, firmware, or software engineering with a security focusExperience securing and debugging systems across hardware, firmware, and software, including security assessment, vulnerability analysis, and developing and applying fixesExperience provisioning and managing keys, certificates, and device identities (secure boot signing, attestation, PKI), with a solid understanding of platform security concepts: secure boot, attestation, cryptography, memory safety, and isolationProficient in C/C++ and at least one scripting language (Python or similar), and comfortable in Linux environmentsDemonstrated fluency with AI-assisted and agentic development tooling in real engineering workStrong communication skills and the ability to drive issues to resolution across teams and with customersExperience securing AI/ML workloads or working directly on AI training or inference infrastructure, including familiarity with confidential computing and trusted execution environmentsFamiliarity with GPU and accelerator platforms, virtualization (SR-IOV, SIOV, MIG), and firmware, as well as datacenter interconnect standards (PCIe, CXL) and their security featuresFamiliarity with supply-chain integrity practices, including SBOM, build provenance, and reproducible builds, and with open-source firmware projects (Caliptra, OpenBMC, coreboot, EDK II, openSIL)Experience supporting external security audits, red teams, or independent platform assessment, and knowledge of hardware security standards and frameworks (TCG, NIST, OCP) ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent LOCATION: San Diego, CA preferred.
