AMD is looking to improve the quality and reliability of their server products by developing and enhancing tools to stress AMD CPUs and identify potential issues before they reach the market.
Requirements
- CPU architecture, X86 (or similar) instruction set architecture, and/or design knowledge.
- Developing system level tests that can make devices under test consume their full power and run at high frequencies.
- Developing system level tests that are self-checking and can catch issues with underlying hardware.
- Software development experience programming in C++ and assembly in a Linux based environment.
- Silicon chip bring-up, validation and debug.
- Understanding of the various aspects of a CPU product definition such as frequency, voltage, thermal design power, performance, etc.
- Familiarity with microprocessor Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) logic, use, and issues.
Responsibilities
- Create, enhance, and maintain x86 diagnostic tools to stress AMD’s Servers.
- Partner with design teams to understand the AMD SOCs and the various features within them to gain knowledge how to fully stress AMD’s Servers.
- Analyze and optimize the performance x86 diagnostic tools for AMD server systems to ensure operation correctness at peak efficiency.
- Support these tools with education and training.
- Promptly addressing issues and making enhancements based on learnings and feedback from a variety of users.
- Participate in root cause analysis efforts for server-related issues and contribute to the development of solutions that prevent similar problems in the future.
- Collaborate with hardware design teams to validate and test new server components and features, ensuring they meet performance and reliability standards.
Other
- You approach challenges with persistence, creativity, and thoughtful problem-solving.
- You work as part of a team with strong communication and collaboration skills.
- You have a solid understanding of both hardware and software, strong problem-solving skills, and drive to understand and learn.
- You enjoy hands-on work and like to take the initiative to build high-quality tools to test and stress AMD’s designs.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams, external vendors, and users.
