Job summary

Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group is seeking an experienced system-level validation engineer to develop high-performance C++ models for AMD SoCs and platforms. You will collaborate with customers to debug workloads on models, and define tests and plans to enhance model functionality.

Targeting a role that spans SW/HW/FW validation, you will drive improvements in stability and performance while working with architecture teams on new modeling features and designs.

Qualifications

• System level validation experience in system level test content development and issue triage.
• Familiarity with full stack system level validation including Linux OS, ROCm + driver stack installation and debugs, system level BMC and BIOS configurations, in band and out of band GPU tools, AMD debug tools and log collection.
• Understanding on virtualization concepts and OS configurations.
• Ability to triage system level test failures and seek out appropriate support ownership and drive to closure with cross functional teams.
• Strong system level validation experience across SW, HW and FW components.
• Ability to help drive test plan definition from existing test content based on incremental changes and bug fixes. Ability to direct team to enhance test content as needed.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-performance C++ functional models for AMD SoCs and platforms.
• Work with internal and external customers to help debug problems running their workloads on the models.
• Develop test plans and tests' functionality of the models.
• Improve functionality, stability, and performance of existing models.
• Develop new, innovative modeling features to assist in debugging workloads. Establish an understanding of new designs by working closely with architecture teams.
