AMD has according to new information been seeking new co-workers for its new Fab36 plant where one of the slots is dedicated for a Linux core developer. Even if the job description is a bit vague a Linux core developer would be focusing on optimizing the Linux core for AMD’s processors and bring a greater understanding among the company’s engineers for the demands modern operating system put on the processors of the future. Another slot that will be filled is a system tool developer for the “Operating System Research Center” in Dresden and according to the description Linux is in focus here as well.
“According to the job description for the tool developer, this person will not only be developing Linux tools for AMD processors, but also helping optimize processors for Linux.”
AMD seems to be really targetting the Linux segment, something many of our readers will appreciate.
