ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

THE ROLE

Join 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.

THE PERSON

You 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.

Key Responsibilities

Lead system bring-up, validation, and NPI qualification for server and switch hardware with OEM vendors. Drive deployment and sustaining efforts for hardware solutions through all compliance stages. Lead debug and root cause analysis of deployed systems by reviewing board layouts and schematics. Collaborate cross-functionally with internal engineering teams and external partners to ensure timely delivery and quality standards. Gather system feature requirements, define detailed test plans, and execute hardware validation plans. Contribute to continuous improvement efforts that enhance system quality, reliability, and performance.

Preferred Experience

Experience with board- and system-level bring-up and validation. Familiarity with Cadence schematic and board layout tools. Strong understanding of Linux and Python scripting for automation and testing. Knowledge of network protocols such as RDMA, PCIe, and XGMI. Proven ability to work with cross-functional engineering teams and external vendors.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field preferred.

LOCATION: Santa Clara, California
