Foreman Jobs in Markham, ON

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

We are looking for a dynamic, energetic Systems Design Engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor to the success of AMD’s product, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD’s abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market.

The internal fleet management group is responsible for deploying, validating, and sustaining AMD’s most advanced CPU and GPU platforms inside large-scale data center environments. As a Systems Design Engineer, you will be a hands-on technical owner for platform deployment and availability in a live data center setting. You’ll work directly with cutting-edge GPU/CPU systems, diagnosing complex hardware, firmware, power, thermal, networking, and clustering issues that occur at scale. This role offers deep exposure to how next-generation compute platforms behave in production, close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams and external partners, and the opportunity to drive continuous improvements that directly impact system reliability and uptime. This is an on-site, fast-paced environment where you will learn by solving real problems, influencing platform readiness, and working with highly experienced engineers across the hardware and software stack.

THE PERSON:

As a Senior Systems Design Engineer, ideal candidate will drive balanced, scalable, and automated solutions. Candidate will be a self-driven systems engineer, who enjoys owning complex technical problems from initial failure through root cause and resolution. You are naturally curious, methodical in your debugging approach, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in large, interconnected systems. You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, collaborate well across disciplines, and are confident working with vendors and partners. You take pride in driving issues to closure, improving processes along the way, and mentoring or guiding others when needed.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Manage platform deployment, availability, and stability for data center CPU/GPU systems
• Lead system-level debugging efforts involving hardware, firmware, Linux, networking, power, and thermal behavior
• Develop structured debug strategies, validation flows, and failure-analysis methodologies.
• Installation, configuration of various OS Distros from console. Setup Network gear, perform and validate Network configurations.
• Provide logs and statistics that will help in further debug of issues.
• Own inventory database management and administration through a managed system.
• Participate in the Agile method of planning, delivery, and collaboration with internal and scaled agile teams.
• Work with a managed ticketing system and communicate clearly on activities and steps.
• Track daily activities, prioritize issues, assign work, and monitor progress to resolution
• Collaborate with silicon, firmware, validation, networking, and operations teams to assess risks and requirements
• Execute hands-on laboratory validation to ensure systems operate as intended prior to and during deployment
• Partner with OEMs, ODMs, and vendors to resolve issues and improve platform reliability
• Drive continuous improvement in tools, processes, and platform readiness

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Extensive experience in Systems engineering, supporting complex CPU, GPU, or SoC-based platforms.
• Platform or system-level validation, bring-up, or design reliability experience.
• Debugging expertise across BIOS, BMC, Linux, and hardware interfaces.
• Familiarity with test automation and failure-analysis methodologies.
• Experience working with OEM, ODM, or hardware vendors.
• Knowledge of high-speed interconnects such as PCIe Gen5.
• Hands-on experience using hardware lab equipment (e.g., scopes, programmers, system bring-up tools).
• Exposure to FPGA, CPLD, or firmware development environments.
• Comfortable working in different operating system environments including Linux and Windows.
• Hands on experience with storage solutions (NAS,SAN. etc.) and form factors.
• Knowledge on Cobbler, Open stack, foreman or any other provisioning automation tool is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to work with JIRA and Confluence project management and documentation tools. Proficient at documenting experimental results in a structured manner for ease of reference.
• Team player with strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Must be a self-starter capable of working in a dynamic environment with minimal supervision and driving tasks to completion with utmost quality.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in electrical or computer engineering/ Computer science.
