AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

Be part of the world's leading graphics and AI accelerator team developing diagnostics applications for the functional and behavior verification of state-of-the-art graphics accelerators. This role will involve designing world class AI and graphics workloads, implementing diagnostics applications, as well as analyzing and debugging the results.

THE PERSON:

To be successful in this role, you should be a proactive self-starter capable of contributing innovative ideas and providing effective technology leadership. You bring excellent knowledge of GPU hardware/software integrations and standard diagnostics design and development techniques. With proven experience in sophisticated development in a complex software and hardware environment, you can contribute to the team's work in bringing to market some of the world’s leading discrete and data center GPU’s . As a key member of this team, you will need exceptional communication, problem-solving capabilities, and data analysis skills. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• The candidate would be responsible for planning, designing, developing, debugging, and optimizing diagnostic and feature tests targeting machine learning, HPC hardware accelerators, and general-purpose GPU compute workloads.
• Collaborate with hardware architects and logic designers to solve functional issues, and collaborate with customer support engineers to help resolve verification deficiencies.
• Explore and adopt new or evolving diagnostics methodologies used in the industry to verify complex ASIC designs within intensive production schedules.
• Work within existing verification infrastructure on currently active projects.
• Participate in system-level verification planning.
• Work with external vendors to optimize diagnostic tests to the customer environment
• Ensure enablement and quality of key diagnostic feature test verification for NPI and production enablement of AMD’s dGPU and AI products.
• Explore new opportunities using Diagnostics as a vessel for catching defects early in the manufacturing flow (CReST), VF curve generation/prediction (MSA) and identifying RTL design bugs prior to tapeout.
• Mentor junior engineers and develop their technical skillset in regard to Diagnostic workflow, architecture design, and SW development disciplines.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience developing machine learning, HPC, or general-purpose GPU compute applications.
• Experience with object-oriented programming in modern C++.
• Experience with systems architecture and object-oriented analysis and design.
• Strong software development skills on Linux and debug skills on hardware.
• Experience developing, debugging, or tracing assembly language programs.
• Standard diagnostics design and development techniques.
• Experience on Linux Shell.
• Experience in diagnostics environments with emphasis on dGPU ASIC system-level verification.
• Experience on exploring and adopting new or evolving verification methodologies used in the industry to verify complex ASIC designs within aggressive, market-driven schedules.
• Experience with source code control systems.
• Knowledge of RTL design practices and tools is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree, in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science
