UEFI BIOS and Memory Firmware Engineer

Join AMD’s Client Platform BIOS and Firmware team as a hands-on firmware engineer developing silicon initialization and memory-subsystem firmware for next-generation client platforms. You will work close to hardware and architecture, contributing to UEFI/EDK II firmware, DDR and LPDDR enablement, platform bring-up, debugging, performance optimization, reliability, and product-launch execution. This is an opportunity to influence customer experiences at the lowest levels of the platform while collaborating with firmware, silicon, validation, and architecture specialists., * Develop, port, bring up, and debug UEFI BIOS and EDK II firmware for client platforms.

• Design and implement silicon initialization code, with particular focus on DDR and LPDDR memory subsystems.

• Enable platform features and improve firmware quality, performance, reliability, and product readiness through launch.

• Use AMD debug tools, memory test tools, schematics, logs, and structured root-cause methods to resolve system and firmware issues.

• Contribute to CI/CD, automation, code review, validation, and quality-gate workflows for production firmware.

• Collaborate across firmware, silicon, architecture, validation, and partner teams while managing multiple priorities and schedules.

• Use AMD-approved AI tools to improve coding and debugging efficiency while protecting confidential information and maintaining technical rigor., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position. AMD’s “Responsible AI Policy” is available here.
