THE ROLE:

This position is crucial to AMD’s Data Center Product Road Map and will be passionate about providing critical diagnostics for the next generation of AMD’s flagship Data Center products. AMD's environment is fast paced, results oriented and built upon a legion of forward-thinking people with a passion for winning technology! We have competitive benefit packages and an award-winning culture. Join us!

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate will have solid software methodologies, software design expertise, deep HW/SW technical knowledge, and organizational skills. The candidate will interact across multiple teams to ensure on schedule defect-free system software, push and accelerate AMD’s time to market. A candidate must possess technical proficiency and interpersonal confidence to represent design ideas to complex problems and innovative solutions with other developers as well as with non-software focused silicon teams. Experience in a technical leadership role is preferred.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Provide end-to-end technical global leadership and ownership of the quality, coverage, and completeness of Diagnostics solution for DCGPU programs.

Highlights project goals, strategies, risks, and key requirements of Diagnostics, tools, and framework to facilitate PMs, Managers, IP Validation architects and Framework architects in test coverage requirements and planning.

Owns the Diagnostics pre-silicon emulation strategy and planning across SW based and FPGA-based emulation models, including the RTL coverage requirements before silicon tape out, Diagnostics verification strategy and requirement before silicon back.

Owns the SoC system level feature verification methodology and planning.

Drive the technical requirements to achieve the feature coverage and hardware bug capture targets.

Horizontal leadership and Collaboration with cross functional teams such as Platform Validation, SW ROCm, HW Architects and stakeholders to achieve key program milestones, such as bring up, all features enablement, performance profiling, production support etc., with desired coverage metrics from Diagnostics.

Collaborate with the Product Engineering Organization and enable the product with high quality to our customers. Debug defects, improve yield, coverage and test time during NPI and volume production.

Provide Diagnostics support to contract manufacturers and board engineering teams.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Proven experience with IP and SoC verification, software development with the ability to closely interact with hardware designers
