THE ROLE:

As a Systems Validation Engineer within the Datacenter and GPU Accelerated Processing division, you will drive SOC and system/rack level validation, triage and debug for the AMD Data Center GPU products across pre-silicon, bring-up, post-silicon validation phases. You will own key areas of validation strategy and execution while partnering with architecture, design, firmware, diagnostics, platform, automation, customer engineering and program teams to delivery high quality next generation AI and HPC products.

THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate is a motivated technical leader with strong experience in SoC and system/rack level validation, triage and debug. You can independently drive validation planning, issue triage, root-cause analysis, and closure while influencing cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, and communicating clearly with technical and program stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Work with domain subject matter experts to plan and execute validation test content across multiple accelerators and racks

Own validation planning and execution across emulation, ASIC bring-up, post-silicon enablement, regression and sustaining phases

Lead triage, debug, root-cause analysis, and issue closure across hardware, firmware, platform, diagnostics, and system-level interactions

Partner with architecture, design, firmware, diagnostics, platform, automation, customer engineering, and program teams to align scope, risks, dependencies, and exit criteria

Build and improve automation, validation content, debug-analysis scripts, and regression checks to improve coverage, efficiency, and repeatability

Review RTL, specifications, firmware interfaces, register maps, and validation collateral to identify coverage gaps and improve validation effectiveness

Support lab-based and system-level debug using platform tools, firmware logs, register-level analysis, and standard measurement equipment

Support customer and sustaining issues by providing SOC and system test technical expertise, debug guidance, and issue-resolution support

Mentor engineers and help improve team validation methodology, debug practices, and product quality

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Strong experience in semiconductor validation, silicon bring-up, SoC validation, firmware validation, or hardware/software integration

Hands-on experience with system and rack level validation, including triage and debug in data center environments

Experience developing validation plans, test content, automation, and debug methodologies for complex SoC or GPU products.

Strong debug skills across hardware, firmware, software, diagnostics, and platform interactions

Experience with emulation, simulation, or FPGA/prototyping environments.

Proficiency in Python and C/C++ for automation, test infrastructure, or debug-analysis tools

Familiarity with Linux, lab bring-up, register-level debug, firmware logs, and platform debug tools

Ability to execute independently, manage priorities, influence cross-functional teams, and drive technical issues to closureACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
