THE ROLE: AMD is looking for an experienced Software architect specializing in Windows installation, and deployment, to design, develop, and maintain reliable Windows installers and deployment solutions for desktop, device, and AI-enabled applications.
THE PERSON: The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of the Windows installation ecosystem, strong C++/QT/Python development skills, and practical experience integrating modern AI-assisted development tools and AI applications.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Architect, develop, and maintain robust Windows installers and installation frameworks for desktop applications, device drivers, services, Store/MSIX apps, and supporting runtimes and third-party components
- Develop installer components and supporting tools in C++, Qt, and Python
- Own install, upgrade, repair, rollback, uninstall, and migration scenarios across supported Windows versions, architectures, and enterprise environments
- Enable silent, unattended, command-line, and enterprise software deployment
- Diagnose and resolve difficult installation, upgrade, driver, registry, permissions, and system-configuration issues
- Improve installation reliability, performance, logging, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms
- Partner with application, driver, QA, build, security, and release engineering teams
- Evaluate and incorporate AI-assisted development tools into engineering workflows
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Multiple years of professional software development experience, with significant experience developing Windows applications or deployment software, including Agile/Scrum experience, mentoring engineers, and reviewing architecture and implementation decisions
- Deep knowledge of Windows installation and deployment architecture, including installing, upgrading, repairing, and removing desktop applications, services, device drivers, and Store/MSIX apps, with Windows driver deployment expertise: installation requirements, signing, versioning, upgrade, rollback, and removal
- Strong command of Windows internals: Registry, services and processes, permissions/ACLs, UAC, file system and system directories, environment variables, 32/64-bit compatibility, and threat modeling
- Proven troubleshooting of installation failures using event and installer logs, Event Viewer, and tools such as WinDbg, Process Monitor, Process Explorer, and Windows Performance Analyzer
- Expert modern C++ and Qt (application architecture, GUI, signals/slots, threading), integrated with Win32/Windows APIs, with a solid foundation in object-oriented design, multithreading, memory management, debugging, and software architecture
- Strong Python for automation, build, test, packaging, and deployment tooling; experience with PowerShell and Windows command-line tools
- Hands-on experience with installer technologies such as MSI/Windows Installer, MSIX/AppX, WiX Toolset, InstallShield, or NSIS, and a strong grasp of installer concepts: sequencing, custom actions, components/features, major/minor upgrades and downgrades, repair/rollback, per-machine vs. per-user, silent/unattended installs, logging, dependency management, and bootstrapper/bundle design
- Packaging multi-component products (executables, services, drivers, plugins, background processes, runtimes) with prerequisites and elevated or system-level requirements, across multiple Windows releases and hardware configurations, including enterprise deployment technologies such as Intune and SCCM/MECM
- Code signing, certificate management, and secure software supply-chain practices, including dependency/security scanning, along with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or equivalent) automation of packaging, installer generation, signing, install/upgrade/uninstall and regression testing, and release validation on clean Hyper-V or VMware virtual machines
- Practical use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude/Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) for coding, debugging, test creation, and documentation, and developing or integrating AI-enabled applications (APIs, SDKs, model integration); familiarity with ComfyUI, LM Studio, or Lemonade is a plus
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
