At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.
AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

You enjoy problem solving including the most complex system, firmware and SoC problems. Your persistence in investigating and collaborating closely with engineering teams across AMD drives balanced, scalable, and automated solutions. In this high visibility position, your systems engineering expertise will be necessary towards product development, definition, and root cause resolution.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Driving technical innovation to improve AMD’s capabilities across debug and validation, including tool and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiatives
Debugging issues found during the process, bring-up, validation, and production phases of SOC programs
Pursuing solutions by working with multiple teams, and tracking test execution to make sure all features are validated and optimized on time
Working closely with supporting technical teams
Engaging in other software/hardware/system modeling frameworks
Leading collaborative approach with multiple teams
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Experienced in debug techniques and methodologies
Extensive experience with board/platform-level debug, including delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization
Extensive knowledge of system architecture, technical debug, and validation strategy
Extensive experience with common lab equipment, including protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.
Programming/scripting skills in one or more: C/C++, Perl, Ruby, Python
Strong analytical/problem-solving skills, persistence, follow through and pronounced attention to details
Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive complex tasks to completion
