The AMD S3 Business Unit IP Systems Engineering team is seeking an energetic, dynamic, experienced IP Systems Engineering Technical Leader to join our growing team. We work with customers to develop new products, previously including game consoles. As an IP Systems Technical Leader, you will drive the planning, post-silicon execution, silicon bring-up and debug of AMD processor and graphics based systems while working closely with internal teams to meet product development milestones. As a key contributor to the success of AMD's IP, you will be part of a leading team that drives and enhances AMD's abilities to deliver industry leading technologies to our customers. The Systems Engineering team encourages technical innovation to showcase successes, provides opportunities to develop technical knowledge, and facilitates career development. This role spans several IP functions and dependencies. Strong system-wide knowledge of complex SoCs is required. There is a need for extra leadership capabilities and teambuilding skills, working across team boundaries and geographical locations. This role also requires a broad knowledge of the system design lifecycle, spanning across pre-silicon into post-silicon validation. THE PERSON:  You are a highly motivated hands-on leader with a strong development background, problem solving mentality, excellent communication skills, ability to prioritize tasks along with willingness to learn and adapt. Excellent teamwork skills and capability to lead a highly technical team is crucial. You will need to be able to plan task deliver over multiple products with a 1-3 year time horizon. You must be comfortable managing other engineers in their tasks, mentoring their professional development and tracking their deliverables or challenges.   KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  Participate in systems design development throughout entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon and emulation through post-silicon and software integration. Lead technical presentations demonstrating a good understanding of hardware architecture and expertise in systems design Collaborate with Design, Software, Tools and other teams to drive the definition of testing and debug methodologies to provide the best possible coverage and customer experience for next-generation AMD IP. Work with Program Leadership team to define the end to end plan and highlight possible risk areas and address concerns during planning. Be a leader and mentor to the operation team; be hands-on and lead by example Isolation and debug of issues found in southbridge and peripheral during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases of S3 products Able to proactively support team culture that fosters knowledge sharing, excellence, and collaboration Defining and executing validation strategies, enablement of features and unit test plans Publishing and aligning test plan requirements and dependencies across multiple hardware products Working closely with supporting teams such as design, diagnostics, driver, and project leadership Lead cross-functional technical discussions to drive root cause identification and resolution on technical issues Driving and participating in technical innovations to enhance AMD’s validation capabilities including tool and script developments, technical and methodology enhancements REQUIREMENTS:  In-depth knowledge of SOC architecture and concepts In-depth knowledge of southbridge technology Strong experience debugging driver and system issues in prototype silicon development Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points Good understanding of Boot Flows/Sequences Familiarity with system peripherals and storage protocols Experience with IP/System level bring-up, SOC debug techniques and methodologies Experience with common lab equipment, computer hardware, and networks Led process improvement initiatives to improve engineering quality Strong technical leadership and mentoring skills Knowledge of standard power management features and use-cases Existing experience across a number of IP domains and competencies PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  Minimum 8-10 years of experience in pre and post-silicon validation and 10-12 years experience in semiconductor industry Demonstrated ability to grasp new technical concepts quickly Experience debugging software issues via hw/sw breakpoints and code experimentation Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g. Python, C/C++, Ruby) Experience with FPGA and other hardware emulation platforms for pre-silicon debug Some experience with hardware design and hardware description languages (e.g. Verilog, VHDL) Strong analytical/problem solving skills and pronounced attention to details Excellent written and verbal communication skills Self-starter, strong collaborator, and able to independently drive tasks to completion Strong organizational skills and ability to handle multiple issues at the same time   ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  Master’s degree or PHD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field strongly preferred Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
