Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) employs more than 21,000 people worldwide, supporting its portfolio of CPUs, GPUs, adaptive SoCs, and embedded solutions. Recent staffing activity shows roughly 1,700 hires versus fewer than 1,000 departures, indicating net growth in the overall workforce. This expansion aligns with the company’s product and roadmap commitments across computing, graphics, and data-center segments. AMD’s people strategy balances deep engineering resources with the commercial and operational teams needed to bring silicon to market.
Engineering is the largest discipline at AMD, accounting for about 12,600 employees—close to 60 % of total headcount—highlighting the technical depth required for chip design and validation. Business Management (1,800) and Finance & Administration (1,600) form the next-largest cohorts, providing structure around planning, supply chain, and compliance. Sales & Support (1,500) and Marketing & Product (1,000) represent roughly one in eight employees, underscoring the focus on channel enablement and product positioning. Smaller groups such as Information Technology, Operations, Program & Project Management, Human Resources, and a catch-all “Other” category collectively number a few thousand, ensuring backbone services and governance are in place.
AMD’s largest concentration of employees is in Austin, Texas, with nearly 2,900 team members, followed by major engineering centers in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, India, each hosting just over 1,100 staff. North American technical and corporate hubs include San Jose, San Francisco, and Santa Clara in California, while Toronto anchors Canadian operations. Singapore and Shanghai add further manufacturing, supply-chain, and sales coverage in Asia. The remaining workforce is spread across additional sites worldwide, grouped under an “Other” category of about 2,700 employees, reflecting AMD’s broad international footprint.
