PCIe Systems Design Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ The AMD Strategic Silicon solutions (S3) Business Unit IP Systems Engineering team is seeking an energetic, dynamic, experienced IP Systems Engineer to join our growing team. We work with customers to develop new products, previously including game consoles. As an IP Systems Engineer, you will drive the planning, pre-silicon execution, validation, silicon bring-up and debug of AMD processor, PCIe 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. THE ROLE: This role specifically focuses on driving the planning, validation, silicon bring-up and debug of AMD PCIe IP and related systems. 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 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 the 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 PCIe IP 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 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 PCIe bus and lab analsysis equipment Experience with FPGA and other hardware emulation platforms for pre-silicon debug Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points Good understanding of Boot Flows/Sequences Strong programming/scripting skills (eg. Python, C/C++, Ruby) 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 PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Prior years of experience in pre and post-silicon validation within the semiconductor industry Demonstrated ability to grasp new technical concepts quickly Hardware description languages (e.g. Verilog) Experience with IP/System level bring-up, SOC debug techniques and methodologies Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points 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: Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field strongly preferred #LI-LB1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
