HSIO Validation Engineer – PCIe Gen5/6/7 & UALink

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.; Santa Clara (CA); Presencial; USD 140.000 - 210.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is seeking a High-Speed IO (HSIO) Validation Engineer to validate high-speed interfaces across CPU and GPU platforms.

You will work with PHY design, SI/PI, firmware, and platform teams to execute validation plans and drive root-cause analysis. The role emphasizes debugging with oscilloscopes, BERTs, VNAs, and protocol analyzers, plus developing automation and data analysis tools to improve coverage and quality.

Formación

• 5+ years of experience in high-speed IO, silicon validation, or system validation.
• Experience with PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, UALink, or similar interfaces.
• Strong knowledge of SI concepts, channel characteristics, equalization techniques, and link-level behavior.
• Experience using lab equipment for bring-up and debugging of high-speed interfaces.
• Proficient in Python, C/C++, or similar languages for automation and data analysis.

Responsabilidades

• Execute validation plans for high-speed IO interfaces such as PCIe Gen5/Gen6/Gen7, UALink, xGMI, Ethernet.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, characterization, compliance testing, margining, and interoperability validation across multiple platforms.
• Collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, board, and test teams to investigate and resolve high-speed interface issues.
• Develop and enhance test automation, validation scripts, and data analysis tools to improve validation efficiency and coverage.
• Perform electrical- and protocol-level debug using oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Analyze signal integrity, power integrity, and link training behavior to identify root causes and drive corrective actions.
• Document validation findings, debug results, and recommendations, and communicate status to project stakeholders.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of validation methodologies, BKMs, and lab infrastructure.
