THE ROLE:

The Diagnostics team is responsible for developing diagnostics software for AMD processors, graphics cards, embedded hardware products, gaming consoles, and data center/AI chips. In this role, you'll enable state-of-the-art hardware features through software and collaborate closely with hardware/firmware/driver/validation teams. The diagnostics software is used in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon verification through the production life of the product. You'll develop a comprehensive understanding of how AMD CPU/GPU and software work together from hardware level to application level, and you will gain deep insights into the most cutting-edge Technologies.

THE PERSON:

We are looking for highly motivated Software Development Engineers who are interested in low-level and embedded system programming. The ideal candidate must enjoy debugging low level hardware and firmware, have an innovative and problem-solving mindset, and is diligent and passionate about Technology. You need to be a self-starter, fast-learner, and able to independently drive tasks to completion.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• You will be studying and understanding hardware design specifications at a fast pace.
• You will be responsible for designing and implementing diagnostics software for various hardware IPs that are used in chip qualification and production.
• You will be debugging and resolving internal and external hardware and software related issues with various teams.
• You will be optimizing diagnostics software to improve its effectiveness and efficiency.
• You will be participating in pre-silicon simulation, chip bring-up, post-silicon verification, and all-feature enablement.
• You will be developing and improving chip screening processes on the production line for different IP blocks.
• You will be building and debugging automation tools to improve productivity.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong knowledge and experience in C++ software programming.
• Hands-on experience in low level programming that interacts with hardware directly.
• Good understanding of computer architecture and operating systems.
• Experience with software development and debugging Linux.
• Experience with debuggers (GDB, WinDbg, etc.) is a bonus.
• Familiar with at least one source control system (GIT, SVN, Perforce, etc.) is a bonus.
• Experience in modern C++ programming and understanding of the latest C++ standards (C++ 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, etc.) is a bonus.
• Experience with multi-threading programming is a bonus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s, master's or PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
