SR Embedded Firmware Development Engineer

THE ROLE:

We are looking for a dynamic, energetic SR Embedded Firmware Development Engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor to the success of AMD's product, you will be part of a team developing out-of-band management firmware solutions for our next generation of GPU products. The Platform Hardware Controller interacts with cutting-edge Data Center GPUs. The successful applicant will collaborate closely with HW, FPGA, and firmware developers, system architects, system validation engineers, and board designers across various IPs, leading the design and implementation of firmware solutions for AMD's flagship Data Center products.

The Systems Design Engineering team fosters and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development.

As a member in Systems Design Engineering, you will drive balanced, scalable, and automated solutions. In this high visibility position, your software systems engineering expertise will be necessary towards product development, definition, and root cause resolution.

• Implementation of complex logic design solutions that employ high-integrated SoC solutions with embedded processing, logic gates, high-speed interfaces and complex IP.
• Support the definition of firmware architecture, requirements, and documentation.
• Translate high-level system requirements into firmware requirements.
• Write production-quality C/C++ to ensure the design meets or exceeds the project success metrics (quality, functionality, on-time completion).
• Develop strategies to test and verify stand-alone and integrated firmware functionality.
• Learn, practice, and improve quality development processes and results.
• Create modular/reusable firmware IP that can be reused in current and future designs.
• Support defect investigations and validate defect fixes found during testing, development, or in production code. Provide logs and statistics that will help in further triaging of defects.

• Strong team player with excellent communication skills; comfortable in a dynamic environment.
• Self-starter, able to work independently and drive tasks to completion.
• Solid understanding of hardware, firmware, and test development for embedded systems.
• Programming and scripting experience (Python, Bash, C/C++) in Linux environments.
• Ability to read and interpret board schematics.
• Familiarity with embedded protocols (I2C, SPI, USB, PCIe, TCP/IP, etc.).
• Knowledge of BMC out-of-band server management and related protocols (IPMI, MCTP, PLDM, Redfish).
• Experience with board/platform-level debug and system architecture validation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Familiarity with microcontroller architecture (ARM) and build tools (make, git, scripting).
• Experience with version control and CI/CD systems (Git, Jenkins).

Bachelors / Masters degree (preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering
