About the role
AMD’s Embedded Business unit is looking for a Senior PM - Automotive IVI SW and Solutions to own and drive the execution of business-critical software programs. In this role, you will plan and deliver SDKs, software suites, and integrated software solutions enabling new SoC product launches in the Automotive Infotainment (IVI) segment.
What you'll do
- Own and drive software program execution for strategic IVI platforms, ensuring SDKs, software suites, and integrated SW solutions meet scope, quality, and schedule commitments aligned with hardware milestones. - Lead cross-functional release planning for SDKs and integrated software stacks (features, target platforms, OS support, toolchains, reference applications) with software architects, product management, and OEM/Tier-1 customers. - Define, maintain, and own software program plans and release roadmaps, including dependencies on silicon, boards, firmware, BSPs, middleware, applications, safety/security components, and ecosystem partners. - Design, implement, and continuously improve standardized SW execution and release processes such as integration gates, release criteria, defect triage, branching/labeling, and release documentation. - Lead the prioritization and resolution of critical defects and integration issues across BSP, drivers, middleware, applications, silicon/platform teams, and customer engineering organizations. - Align IVI software roadmaps with AMD technology roadmaps across SoCs, GPUs, AI accelerators, connectivity, and platform features.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. - 12+ years of relevant experience in software program management, software development, or embedded systems. - Experience managing software development lifecycles for SDKs, application frameworks, integration, and release engineering. - Understanding of SoC architectures and common IP blocks including CPU, GPU, display, audio, connectivity, and safety/security IP. - Demonstrated experience defining program scope, success criteria, KPIs, program metrics, dashboards, and executive reporting.
Nice to have
- Experience leading software programs for SoC-based systems in Automotive IVI environments (e.g., Android Automotive, Linux, Xen, QNX, or adjacent embedded domains). - Experience leveraging AI-driven automation tools to optimize requirements management and cross-functional reporting. - Experience coordinating complex issues with Automotive OEMs, Tier-1s, and ecosystem partners (OS vendors, middleware providers, tool vendors).
