AI Training Reliability Engineer Job Listing at AMD in Beijing (Job ID 78138-en-us)

Description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING 

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you'll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.  Together, we advance your career.  

Responsibilities

• Own reliability governance (standards, runbooks, SLIs/SLOs) and deliver KPI improvements (goodput/badput).
• Productionize fast recovery paths: fault detection, isolation, membership change, and continuation without stop-the-world restarts.
• Establish fault-injection/chaos and regression gates to prevent reliability regressions (GPU/NIC/node, comms, storage, maintenance).
• Drive day-to-day incident response and root-cause analysis, converting learnings into preventative fixes.

Requirements

• Strong software + systems engineering; can debug complex distributed failures end-to-end (Linux, networking, concurrency).
• Hands-on large-scale distributed training experience (PyTorch Distributed/torchrun; common parallelism patterns).
• Solid accelerator fundamentals and operational debugging (GPU/NPU, drivers/runtime, profiling tooling).
• RDMA networking and collective communication fundamentals (all-reduce/all-gather/all-to-all) and related failure modes.

Nice to Have

• TorchFT (or similar) per-step fault tolerance / checkpointless recovery experience.
• Experience with large cluster operations and automated remediation (health checks, drain/replace, topology-aware placement).
• Training stability hardening experience (hang watchdogs, NaN/Inf containment, OOM/memory fragmentation mitigation).

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
