Together, we advance your career.

Join the premier graphics and AI accelerator team, responsible for developing Diagnostic applications for the world’s most advanced semi‑conductors. In this role, you won’t just be testing chips; you will be defining how the most complex computer hardware is validated. This position will involve technical leadership in designing, implementing and deploying world‑class AI and graphics workloads. The candidate will also partner with Hardware Architecture, Silicon Design and Manufacturing, to ensure product‑excellence from pre‑silicon through customer deployment.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about understanding how software interacts with hardware, and how we can be more proficient in stressing silicon design. The candidate must be able to communicate efficiently, effectively, and work optimally with different teams across multiple levels of leadership in AMD.

• Technical Strategy and Project Leadership
  • Define the long‑term roadmap for GPU performance testing, feature testing and manufacturing testing for both pre‑silicon and post‑silicon verification
  • Execution Excellence:
    Lead a team to execute on AMD’s roadmap projects providing on‑time Diagnostic test deliveries, risk assessments and action plans to meet our customers’ needs
• Software Diagnostics Development
  • Design & Architect advanced diagnostics to detect, localize and triage GPU defects or performance bottlenecks
  • Lead team initiatives to integrate customer application layers—like ROCm, OpenCL and Vulkan—into diagnostics development pipeline, ensuring compatibility and enhanced GPU testing
• Workload‑Centric Test Design
  • Lead the development of silicon‑level functional tests based on either GFX or LLM primitives (Shaders, Attention blocks, GEMM, etc.) to ensure hardware reliability under real‑world AI stress
