AMD are currently expanding the team responsible for verification and validation of our cutting‑edge, networking, low‑latency Ethernet Adapters, and SmartNIC technology in our Data Centre Group and are looking for an additional high‑calibre senior test engineer.

As part of a larger team, you will play a pivotal role in helping to test our solutions to ensure they meet the end‑customer requirements, utilizing a comprehensive framework of heavily automated test suites. These aren’t just simple scripts, but are powerful, multi‑threaded test harnesses that stress our products to the limit, verifying that they do what they’re supposed to and are reliable in the face of adverse conditions.

The role:

Working from a feature requirement spec, you will design, write, execute and support comprehensive test cases using modern test frameworks, based on defined and extrapolated use cases.

In close collaboration with a development team during the test cycle of our products, you will be using our home‑grown tool chain to run literally tens of thousands of test cases, analyze the results, present results clearly and concisely, and dig deeper into the issues found to gain an understanding of the problem.

Requirements:

• A degree in a Scientific or Engineering subject, an equivalent qualification, or, alternatively, relevant professional experience
• 1-3 years’ experience in a software test role
• Good communication and inter‑personal skills
• Excellent attention to detail and organization
• Good understanding of PC architecture and Linux environments
• Solid bug reporting/triage skills
• Experience of networking protocols – TCP/UDP/IP, RDMA, etc. – desirable but not essential
