Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ The Role : The Firmware Security Engineering group is responsible for developing Platform Security and Content Protection features across the software stack including device drivers, firmware, and application-level interfaces. Within the larger Security group, the Platform Security Team is responsible for the Firmware Security Stack that runs on the entire range of AMD Graphics Processing Units which include Cloud / Consumer Gaming, Workstation, Data Center, Server and AI, enabling our customers to build solutions and driving the next wave of innovation in Exascale computing. Our team is committed to developing talent to its full potential. If you are looking to engage in a fast-paced encouraging environment, allowing you to strengthen your skills in the security domain, while providing opportunities for experience with both device driver and embedded development - then this team is for you! The Person : As a member of the Platform Security Team you will participate in all aspects of development life cycle, engaging on parallel assignments spanning Firmware stack, developing embedded firmware and device drivers, working closely with a wide range of HW, SW and validation teams. You will be responsible for developing security centric features on various Data Center SOCs by demonstrating low level HW and SW debug tools, and evolve those towards production quality. There will be opportunities to become a specialist in ARM / RISC-V Firmware Development, Bootloader development, RTOS, Cryptography, CPU to GPU communication, CPU Secure Virtualization solutions, as well as Pre-Silicon development environments such as Simulators, FPGAs and Emulation Platforms. In addition to Firmware development, there are a number of QA initiatives in flight within the team which you will be exposed to such as CI / CD and Google Test for Firmware Unit test development. Experience in these areas will be considered an asset for the role. Key Responsibilities : Engage as a phenomenal teammate, always ready to seek new challenges Demonstrate AGILE methodologies and best practices for Software Engineering Design and Implement Embedded SOC Firmware + Platform BIOS Firmware and x86 interface drivers Develop new software features and improvements within pre-silicon environments Be involved in the definition, architectural design, and development of security firmware Preferred Experience : Experience with SW development in C / C++ Experience or strong interest with low-level programming and debugging Strong written and verbal communication skills Great teammate able to handle multiple assignments with minimal direction Critical thinking and ability to apply problem solving to real world challenges Experience with embedded firmware development on ARM, RISC-V or x86 microprocessors Familiarity with pre-silicon validation on FPGAs or simulation environments along with ASIC bring-up will be considered an asset Hands-on experience with low level development in C / C++ Knowledge of Cryptography, Platform Security, Virtualization concepts will be considered an asset Familiarity with various communication protocols including but not limited to PCIe, CXL, I2C etc. Experience in building and implementing secure software.
