Engineering Careers
Whether you're interested in process, design or product development, AMD can help you develop and grow your engineering career. In fact, it's the perfect time to join AMD — as we strengthen our leadership in the microprocessor market. In recent years, our engineering teams have:
- Led the industry to glueless 4-socket microprocessor solutions using the HyperTransport standard for high-speed, direct connections.
- Integrated the memory controller onto CPU chips to deliver best-in-class memory latency characteristics.
- Pioneered the development of AMD64, the industry standard for tomorrow's 64-bit applications.
- Been first to market with tightly integrated dual-core solutions for the commodity processor market.
