WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture.
We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
THE ROLE:
Join a highly collaborative Memory Subsystem team focused on delivering high‑performance DDR/LPDDR solutions used across a wide range of server and client products. As a BIOS / Firmware Development Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, developing and validating critical memory firmware that directly impacts system performance and reliability.
This role offers exposure across the full product lifecycle—from early architecture and simulation through silicon bring‑up and production—giving you the opportunity to influence quality early and see your work come to life in real products. You’ll partner closely with hardware design, validation, and system teams, troubleshooting complex system‑level challenges and driving scalable firmware solutions in a fast‑paced, engineering‑driven environment.
If you enjoy working close to the hardware, solving deep technical problems, and collaborating across disciplines, this is a great opportunity to grow in a highly visible and impactful area.
THE PERSON:
You’re a hands‑on firmware engineer who enjoys solving complex problems where hardware and software intersect. You’re naturally curious, adaptable, and comfortable working in early‑stage development environments where not everything is fully defined.
You take ownership of your work, communicate clearly across teams, and thrive in collaborative environments with global stakeholders. You’re someone who can balance independent execution with cross‑functional teamwork and are motivated by seeing your contributions make a real impact on product quality and performance.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Develop and validate BIOS and firmware features for DDR/LPDDR memory subsystems
Collaborate with hardware design, validation, and system teams to ensure robust integration
Debug complex system‑level issues spanning firmware, hardware, and validation environments
Contribute across the product lifecycle, from early development through silicon bring‑up
Ramp on system architecture, tools, and current firmware environment
Begin contributing to feature development and basic debug efforts
Build relationships with cross‑functional partners
Own specific firmware components or features
Actively participate in debug cycles and system integration efforts
Contribute to improving firmware quality and development processes
Lead development and validation of key firmware features
Drive complex debug efforts across teams and disciplines
Influence firmware architecture and early‑stage development decisions
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Strong programming skills in C and C++ for low‑level or BIOS/firmware development
Experience with BIOS or SoC firmware, including initialization and runtime configuration
Exposure to integrating firmware within larger system software stacks
Experience debugging firmware in collaboration with hardware and validation teams
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., git‑based workflows)
Experience with DDR or JEDEC‑based memory technologies and memory subsystems
Exposure to pre‑silicon environments (simulation, emulation, or architectural modeling)
Understanding of SoC architecture and firmware‑to‑hardware interaction
Experience with silicon bring‑up, lab debug, or post‑silicon validation
Familiarity with early‑stage firmware validation prior to hardware availability
Additional exposure to System Verilog, System
C, Python, or UVM
Experience with simulation or emulation platforms
Understanding of…
