THE ROLE

The diagnostics team is responsible for developing tests and suites that exercise and validate the hardware blocks in the graphics chips designed at AMD. The successful candidate for this role will support our memory diagnostics development team, where you’ll gain an understanding of all the HW clients that perform memory access requests to drive memory traffic and maximize bandwidth and stress.

We understand the features that go into the HW design, and we have the software skills to program them to life. Once developed these diagnostics are used in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon validation through the production life of the product. Daily work involves code development, debug, and emulation for HW feature validation. You will be asked to root cause and solve HW and SW problems.

THE PERSON

You have an important role in ensuring robust diagnostics quality and feature coverage with opportunities to learn about HW features and SW/HW debugging. You will be asked to work across multiple hardware blocks, on different ASICs, and collaborate with teams across the company.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• The design and verification of diagnostics tests that are used in ASIC Qualification and production test suites for both internal and external customers
• Identifying and troubleshooting HW and SW problems
• Analyzing fall out boards Identify opportunities to improve test time and effectiveness of tests
• Support and resolve customer issues, including investigation and debugging of diagnostics source code
• Assist in ASIC bring-up and support activities
• Development and debug of automation tools/scripts to assist with the above

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

The ideal candidate possesses knowledge and skills in both software and hardware engineering:

• Knowledge and experience in software programming (C++, scripting)
• Familiarity with PC and GPU/CPU architectures
• Experience with software development and debugging in Linux
• Source control systems (git, svn, etc.)
• Self-leadership and independence, along with excellent communication skills
