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.
