PCIe / CXL - Lead Systems Design & Validation Engineer

 THE ROLE:

Technical, hands-on engineer responsible for Datacenter Server SoC Post-Silicon features validation and enablement at the silicon SoC level up through BIOS, system firmware, and OS levels on AMD Server products.  The technology focus is Compute Express Link (CXL).  This individual will be primarily responsible for interfacing with silicon, firmware, and platform design groups to develop and execute validation test plans for Datacenter Server SoC products during emulation and post-silicon bring-up / validation, to debug SoC feature issues, and to run and maintain validation infrastructure.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and execute feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC- and system-level SoC features across all AMD Server products. 
• Develop post-silicon validation infrastructure (software, hardware, automation environment, and lab setup)
• Test interactions between various SoC features using validation infrastructure
• Debug and drive root-cause analysis for SoC related issues
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams in developing tools to improve SoC validation and debug
• Work with cross-functional teams to improve post-silicon validation test strategy, methodology, and process

 REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with PC architecture and microprocessor cores
• Understanding of modern x86 microprocessor architecture and Server platform architecture is highly desired
• Experience developing validation methodologies and infrastructure
• Test plan and test development experience
• Participated in silicon bring up and debug, support to internal engineering teams
• Able to execute and drive success of programs with multiple projects on the go
• Debug skills at both SoC and system level
• Familiarity with programming / scripting language (C/C++, Python, Perl, ...)
• Working knowledge of Server OSes (Linux, Windows)
• Must be a self-starting team player with excellent communication skills who can work with minimal guidance
• Forward thinker that drives improvement to development process, code architecture and fosters a spirit of innovation and continuous improvement
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills
• Validation expertise in CXL protocol. PCIe protocol is a plus
• Knowledge on Data Fabric validation or debug is a bonus
• Working knowledge of lab equipment such as protocol analyzers, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes
• Self-organizing and the ability multitask based on priorities

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Electronics / Computer Science related
• Experience in SoC validation and debug.
