About this role
About the Role AMD is seeking a Lead Systems Debug Engineer to provide technical leadership for system bring-up, validation, and debug of next-generation datacenter GPU platforms. This role will drive platform readiness across hardware, firmware, software, networking, power, and SoC subsystems while leading root-cause analysis and resolution efforts. The ideal candidate will define validation strategies, develop debug methodologies, document bring-up processes, and collaborate across functional teams to ensure robust platform performance and production readiness.
What You'll Do
- Lead system bring-up, validation, and debug activities for datacenter GPU platforms.
- Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware, firmware, and software issues.
- Develop validation plans, debug processes, and technical documentation.
- Perform hands-on board-level analysis, including power, electrical, and system validation.
- Collaborate with architecture, software, firmware, and hardware teams to ensure platform readiness.
- Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership while fostering a culture of collaboration and operational excellence.
What We're Looking For
- Hands-on technical leader with strong problem-solving, communication, and debugging skills.
- Experience debugging complex HW/FW issues; strong understanding of GPU systems, including PCIe, HBM, retimers, power delivery, networking, and SoC subsystems.
- Datacenter hardware experience and the ability to drive issues to closure.
- Experience in SoC or system-level debug and validation.
- Strong knowledge of GPU architecture and platform components (PCIe, HBM, retimers, power systems, networking).
- Expertise with industry-standard debug tools, oscilloscopes, and board-level diagnostics.
- Experience developing debug capabilities, validation methodologies, and production qualification processes.
- Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages such as Shell, Perl, or Python.
- Familiarity with Agile development, Git, cloud infrastructure, and database technologies.
- Proven ability to resolve critical issues in lab, manufacturing, customer, or datacenter environments.
- Strong customer-facing and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Academic credentials: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field, with at least 8 years of experience in system-level or SoC debug, validation, and triage.
Nice to Have
