We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.\n\nTHE ROLE\nJoin AMD’s dynamic Systems Development team, where you’ll play a key role in bringing cutting‑edge servers and switch solutions to life. You will be at the center of SoC, board, and system‑level integration‑leading validation, new product introduction (NPI) qualification with OEM partners, and driving solutions through all stages of compliance and deployment. This is a highly collaborative environment where you’ll work alongside experts across hardware, software, power, thermal, signal integrity, and manufacturing teams, as well as engage directly with external vendors. Your work will have a direct impact on product quality, time‑to‑market, and AMD’s success in the data center space.\n\nTHE PERSON\nYou are a hands‑on problem solver who thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment. You bring curiosity, persistence, and strong analytical thinking to root cause analysis and system bring‑up. You’re equally comfortable diving deep into schematics and collaborating with cross‑discipline teams to deliver high‑quality results.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nLead system bring‑up, validation, and NPI qualification for server and switch hardware with OEM vendors.\n\nDrive deployment and sustaining efforts for hardware solutions through all compliance stages.\n\nLead debug and root cause analysis of deployed systems by reviewing board layouts and schematics.\n\nCollaborate cross‑functionally with internal engineering teams and external partners to ensure timely delivery and quality standards.\n\nGather system feature requirements, define detailed test plans, and execute hardware validation plans.\n\nContribute to continuous improvement efforts that enhance system quality, reliability, and performance.\n\nPreferred Experience\n\nExperience with board‑ and system‑level bring‑up and validation.\n\nFamiliarity with Cadence schematic and board layout tools.\n\nStrong understanding of Linux and Python scripting for automation and testing.\n\nKnowledge of network protocols such as RDMA, PCIe, and XGMI.\n\nProven ability to work with cross‑functional engineering teams and external vendors.\n\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS\n\nBachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related field preferred.\n\nThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.\n\nLOCATION: Santa Clara, California\n\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\n\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee‑based recruitment services.
