Job description

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

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.

THE ROLE:

We are seeking a collaborative and motivated Systems Validation and SW Architect to join our team. In this role, you will develop and execute methodologies and Validation content for system-level hardware, firmware and software validation on machine learning systems built with AMD’s technologies. You’ll work closely with architecture, design, and post-silicon teams to identify and resolve complex systems, improving future debug and Validation features. This position involves developing automation, refining validation processes, executing Validation cases, analyzing data and driving system-level quality across AMD’s product portfolio. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds who bring curiosity, technical depth, and a commitment to innovation.

THE PERSON:

As a Systems Validation and SW Architect, you will deliver our next generation of system Validations for our products. In this high visibility position, your systems engineering expertise will be necessary to find and resolve system’s HW, FW and SW issues; your SW background will help us advance our Validation coverage and improve automation frameworks; and your experience with large scale clusters will help us to debug critical issues only seen on scale.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead the definition of the Validation procedures to validate the design of various system components on the next generation of machine learning architectures. This includes all components of servers including CPU/GPU/Memory/BIOS/BMC/IO/storage/networking, etc.
• Lead efforts to validate Scale-up and Scale-out architectures, including definition of Validation plans at cluster-level as well as writing code to support the validation.
• Translating system specs into a robust system integration Validation plan.
• Develop complex/critical Validation content as well as monitoring/debug/root-cause SW mechanisms that others can use in their plans.
• Establish methods to validate, monitor and root-cause errors at cluster-level.
• Make improvements to system level integration Validation strategies, methodologies, and processes
• Collaboration with customer and multi-functional HW and SW teams to debug and tackle complex issues
• Efficiently execute Validation plans to meet time-to-market requirements
• Confidently describe Validation procedures and issues to internal and external stakeholders
• Investigate, profile and enable Validation content for a wide variety of system domains, as well as benchmarks and proxies for customer workloads into our own Validation frameworks. These range from industry standard benchmarks to state-of-the-art training and inference applications.
• Develop and improve automation features according to requirements

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
