• Collaborate with Design, Software, Tools and other teams to drive the definition of testing and debug methodologies to provide the best possible coverage and customer experience for the AMD IP
• Isolation and debug of issues found in Graphics IP during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases of S3 products
• Able to proactively support team culture that fosters knowledge sharing, excellence, and collaboration
• Defining and executing validation strategies, enablement of features and unit test plans
• Publishing and aligning test plan requirements and dependencies
• Working closely with supporting teams such as design, diagnostics, driver, and project leadership
• Driving and participating in technical innovations to enhance AMD’s validation capabilities including tool and script developments, technical and methodology enhancements

REQUIREMENTS:

• In-depth knowledge of SOC architecture and concepts
• In-depth knowledge of hardware encode/decode and display driver hardware IP
• In-depth knowledge of Graphics hardware pipeline
• Experience with graphics engines and rendering software pipelines
• Experience with FPGA and other hardware emulation platforms for pre-silicon debug
• Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points
• Good understanding of Boot Flows/Sequences
• Strong programming/scripting skills (eg. Python, C/C++, Ruby)
• Experience with IP/System level bring-up, SOC debug techniques and methodologies
• Experience with common lab equipment, computer hardware, and networks
• Led process improvement initiatives to improve engineering quality
• Strong technical leadership and mentoring skills
• Knowledge of standard power management features and use-cases

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Multiple years of relevant semiconductor experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation of the display IP
• Passion for computer gaming and driving game performance goals
• Demonstrated ability to grasp new technical concepts quickly
• Experience with IP/System level bring-up, SOC debug techniques and methodologies
• Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points
• Strong analytical/problem solving skills and pronounced attention to details
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Self-starter, strong collaborator, and able to independently drive tasks to completion
• Strong organizational skills and ability to handle multiple issues at the same time
• Display driver hardware pipeline
• Knowledge of GPU hardware architecture
• Knowledge of graphics rendering pipeline
• Familiarity with power management and power states
• Strong programming/scripting skills (eg. Python, C/C++, Ruby)
• Systems design development throughout entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon and emulation through post-silicon and software integration
• Hardware architecture and expertise in systems design
• Isolation and debug of issues found in Display IP during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field strongly preferred
