We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. 

AMD together we advance_

AMD networking group deliver Data Center Networking silicon and software– including SmartNICs for hyperscale cloud deployments and low-latency adapters for financial services and machine learning applications. We're changing the way operating systems, applications and the hardware interact to allow computer networks to be faster, more responsive and more reliable. Our architectural approach combines hardware and software to deliver high-performance adapter products and application-acceleration middleware for superior performance in a wide range of applications.

THE ROLE

We are expanding the software test team who are responsible for verification and validation of our cutting-edge, networking, low-latency Ethernet Adapters, and SmartNIC technology.

As part of a larger team, you will play a pivotal role in helping to test our solutions to ensure they meet the end-customer requirements, utilizing a comprehensive framework of heavily automated test suites. These aren’t just simple scripts, but are powerful, multi-threaded test harnesses that stress our products to the limit, verifying that they do what they’re supposed to and are reliable in the face of adverse conditions.

THE PERSON

Essential to product development in the networking group are the automated test systems which provide continuous product validation and verification. These automated test frameworks and associated test classes are all developed in Python and the chosen candidate will develop and maintain this complex framework.

Working from a feature requirement spec, you will help design, write and support comprehensive automated test cases using modern test frameworks, based on defined and extrapolated use cases.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Understanding relevant product features under test
• Develop new and extend existing test cases and capabilities in Python
• Running tests and generating results
• Extend and maintain test automation infrastructure and pipelines
• Develop test specifications
• Analysing results and identifying/triaging product issues
• Identifying and addressing deficiencies in the test harnesses
• Proactively identifying and proposing opportunities for improvement in the test suite
• Assuming ownership of a testing domain                                      

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• 3+ years software experience (or equivalent) programming in Python
• Good understanding of quality, testing methodologies and approaches
• Be able to show solid familiarity with Linux-based systems
• Ideally have some familiarity with databases
• Possess an inquisitive and curious nature, eager to understand how things work, and to get to the root-cause of issues
• Be able to demonstrate strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, teamwork and good interpersonal communication

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

A degree in a scientific or engineering subject, an equivalent qualification, or, alternatively, relevant professional experience
