ML Engineer

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.

Design, train and evaluate ML classifiers (binary and multi-class) on CPU PMC telemetry datasets targeting ransomware, cryptomining, fileless malware and related threat categories.

Perform feature engineering on raw hardware performance counter data (branch behavior, cache miss patterns, instruction mix ratios, execution port utilization) to extract discriminative threat signatures.

Implement evaluation frameworks measuring detection rate, false-positive rate and inference latency on target GPU/NPU hardware.

Expand and validate training datasets across malware variants; iteratively improve model coverage and accuracy.

Optimize model architectures for inference on AMD integrated GPU and NPU hardware, balancing accuracy against strict CPU overhead targets. Export models to production-compatible inference formats and collaborate with real-time developers for pipeline integration.

Document model architecture decisions, training-data provenance, evaluation metrics and known limitations.

Maintain version control and reproducibility for all training pipelines and model artifacts.
