Systems Validation Engineer – Data Center GPU

Overview As a Systems Validation Engineer in AMD’s Datacenter and GPU Accelerated Processing division, you drive SOC and system-level validation for data center GPU products across pre-silicon to post-silicon phases. You will own validation strategy, execute tests, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality AI and HPC products. This role offers impact through shaping validation methodologies, improving coverage, and enabling scalable, reliable platforms. You will work in a hybrid Markham, ON environment helping AMD advance data center technology.
