AMD; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD in Austin, TX is seeking a Debug Program Lead for Server Platform to own the Debug Steering Forum and drive issue closure. You’ll manage the debug execution pipeline, track ownership, and push for timely root-cause resolutions across firmware, silicon, and validation teams.

You will coordinate global teams, summarize status for leadership, and ensure urgency in escalations while maintaining a single source of truth for debug efforts.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering is desired.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Server Platform Debug Steering Forum end to end — agenda, prioritization, technical review of open issues, decisions, and follow-through between sessions
• Maintain an accurate, single source of truth for debug execution: issue inventory, severity and priority, technical owner, current hypothesis, next debug step, and expected closure date
• Ensure technical owners are actively driving to root cause and closure; identify stalled or circular investigations early and elevate with a clear ask
• Coordinate the resources required to sustain debug momentum — system/board availability, instrumentation, lab and bench time, silicon samples, and access to subject‑matter experts across firmware, SI/PI, thermal, and validation
• Drive cross-team dependencies where an issue spans platform, silicon, firmware, or supplier scope, and broker the handoffs needed to keep the investigation moving
• Distinguish genuine technical blockers from resourcing or prioritization gaps, and route each to the right decision‑maker
• Publish recurring debug status to program and engineering leadership — burn‑down, aging, top blockers, and launch‑risk issues — via dashboards and written summaries
• Capture and propagate debug learnings, known‑issue patterns, and triage best practices across programs
• Operate with urgency during escalations and critical launch‑blocking debug efforts
