Technical Team Lead, Hardware Security Platform (PMTS)

Description

AMD is building a hardware-assisted security platform that uses silicon-level Performance Monitoring Counters (PMCs) and on-chip machine learning to detect advanced endpoint threats (ransomware, fileless malware, cryptojacking) at the processor layer, below OS-based evasion. The platform collects CPU behavioral telemetry, classifies it via an ML inference engine, and exposes threat signals to security-software partners through a standardized API. The team covers the full stack: silicon telemetry, ML training/validation, real-time inference, lab qualification and CI/CD.

Requirements

• 12+ years progressive engineering experience with 5+ years in a technical leadership or principal engineering role.

• Deep expertise in at least two of: CPU microarchitecture & performance monitoring; ML systems & inference pipeline engineering; systems software & kernel development; endpoint security platform architecture. Experience leading multi-disciplinary efforts inception-to-production. Excellent communication across executive, partner and engineering audiences.

• Experience defining program-level KPIs and quality gates.

• Hardware-assisted security technology on any major processor architecture.

• Endpoint security research, malware analysis or threat intelligence at enterprise scale.

• AMD silicon or AMD security processor technology.

• Patent portfolio or publications in hardware security or ML for security. Experience managing external security-software partner technical programs (joint engineering, certification, go-to-market).

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture for the full hardware threat-detection platform (PMU/IBS kernel driver, ML inference pipeline, partner SDK, HW attestation).

• Set and enforce technical quality standards: detection-efficacy KPIs (detection rate, false-positive rate), performance budgets (CPU overhead), API backward-compatibility.

• Lead cross-functional architectural decisions across silicon, driver, ML and real-time pipeline.

• Own the partner SDK strategy and the technical relationship with security-software integration partners.

• Lead efficacy validation gates across the malware variant test suite. Mentor SMTS-level engineers across lab, ML, real-time and CI/CD. Represent the platform in external technical forums and partner engagements.

• Identify and mitigate program-level technical risks.
