Job summary

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. seeks a dynamic Power IP and System Validation Engineer to drive post-silicon bring-up and validation of analog/mixed-signal power-management IP for next-gen AMD products.

You’ll work at the intersection of silicon, firmware, and lab validation to optimize IP performance across operating conditions. You will collaborate with design, RTL, firmware, validation, and production teams to deliver high-quality, industry-leading technologies.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with post-silicon bring-up, debug, validation, and characterization.
• Experience characterizing analog or mixed-signal power-management IP on CPU, GPU, or other complex SoC platforms.
• Experience with board-level and platform-level debug, including power delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
• Proficiency using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, network analyzers, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, thermal-control equipment, and bench power supplies.
• Knowledge of power-measurement techniques, including on-die current sensing, PDN probing, and voltage-drop measurement.
• Experience with hardware assembly, laboratory automation, and remote laboratory operations.
• Strong understanding of system architecture, silicon-debug methodologies, validation strategies, and root-cause analysis.

Responsibilities

• Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and validation of analog and mixed-signal power-management IP, including regulators and sensors.
• Develop characterization plans to evaluate IP performance across voltage, frequency, temp, and process.
• Analyze silicon data and tune IP parameters, including voltage-frequency curves and power-gating sequences.
• Develop firmware routines and control algorithms for boot, runtime, and power-state transitions.
• Debug silicon failures by correlating lab measurements, firmware traces, RTL behavior, and schematics.
• Collaborate with design, RTL, firmware, validation, and production teams to resolve findings.
