Power IP & Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

AMD; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 130,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD in Austin, Texas seeks a Power IP and System Validation Engineer to drive post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation of analog and mixed-signal power-management IP for advanced AMD products. You will work at the intersection of silicon, firmware, systems, and lab validation to optimize IP performance across operating conditions.

You are a detail-oriented systems engineer who can independently drive complex technical issues to resolution and collaborate with multiple teams to

Qualifications

• Experience with post-silicon bring-up, debug, validation, and characterization.
• Experience characterizing analog or mixed-signal power-management IP on CPU/GPU/SoC platforms.
• Experience with board- and platform-level debug, including power delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
• Proficiency using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, network analyzers, etc.).
• Knowledge of power-measurement techniques and on-die sensing basics.
• Experience with hardware assembly, automation, and remote lab ops.
• Strong understanding of system architecture, silicon debug methodologies, and root-cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation of analog and mixed-signal power-management IP.
• Develop and execute characterization plans across voltage, frequency, temperature, and process conditions.
• Analyze silicon data and tune IP parameters (voltage-frequency curves, margins, sequencing).
• Develop firmware routines and control algorithms for IP configuration during boot, runtime, and power-state transitions.
• Debug failures by correlating lab measurements, firmware traces, RTL behavior, and design information.
• Collaborate with analog/mixed-signal design, RTL, firmware, validation, and production teams to resolve findings.
