AMD is building a dedicated team to integrate the Rust programming language into its GPU software stack, spanning firmware to drivers and compilers. The move aims to improve the safety and correctness of complex hardware-software systems.
AMD Senior Fellow Harsh Meno announced the initiative this week on LinkedIn, stating, “We’re building a small, elite team at AMD to push Rust deep into the GPU stack. Compilers. Runtimes. Firmware. GPU architecture. Hardware/software co-design.” The company is actively hiring a Software Development Engineer to work on Rust code as part of this effort.
The job description details that the role will focus on building next-generation systems software for AMD GPUs with Rust as a “core technical direction.” The work will encompass compilers, runtimes, low-level GPU software, firmware, developer tooling, and methods for improving the safety and correctness of complex hardware-software systems. According to the job posting, Rust is “not incidental” to the role, and the engineer will help establish how Rust is used in performance-sensitive and high-trust parts of the GPU stack.
AMD is not alone in this endeavor; NVIDIA is also pursuing similar Rust-based initiatives for its GPU software, including the development of the Nova Linux kernel driver written in Rust.
