Job description

AMD’s Infinity Data Fabric (DF) is a foundational interconnect technology used across all AMD product segments, including EPYC, Ryzen, Radeon (Vega, Navi), and SemiCustom products. We are seeking an engineer to contribute to the development and enablement of nextgeneration highperformance computing products.

In this role, you will be part of a crossfunctional team responsible for Infinity Fabric IP firmware development and feature enablement across AMD platforms. Your work will directly support silicon bringup, validation, and longterm product quality across pre and postsilicon environments., * Develop and enable firmware features for the Infinity Fabric interconnect across AMD products, including design, documentation, unit testing, and debug for both pre and postsilicon environments.

  • Enhance Pythonbased tools that process large and complex datasets to generate hardware initialization binaries.
  • Develop tools and infrastructure in Python and/or C/C++ to collect, process, and validate hardware initialization data.
  • Collaborating with architects and IP leads to defining firmware scope and implementation details aligned with delivery milestones.
  • Perform unit and integration testing, and provide debug support across emulation, simulation, and postsilicon environments.
  • Participate in design and code reviews to promote quality, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Work with internal and external teams to support the firmware lifecycle and ensure high product quality., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position. AMD’s “Responsible AI Policy” is available here.

Requirements

You have a strong interest in firmware development on baremetal or near baremetal environments. You can consider systemlevel requirements when designing solutions that are scalable and maintainable, and you document your work clearly and concisely.

You collaborate effectively with others, contribute constructively to team discussions, and value shared ownership of outcomes. You prioritize code quality, robustness, and longterm maintainability in your work., * Experience with firmware development, integration, and validation for SoC designs in pre and postsilicon environments.

  • Strong proficiency in lowlevel C programming, including debugging and performance optimization for embedded systems.
  • Proficiency in Python and Linux scripting for data parsing, automation, and processing.
  • Solid understanding of computer architecture concepts such as memory interleaving, system memory maps, and NUMA domains.
  • Experience with board, processor, or ASIC bringup using simulation and/or emulation platforms.
  • Familiarity with hardware/software interfaces and structured debugging at the IP, subsystem, or system level.
  • Experience using source control and code review systems such as Git and Gerrit.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document designs and communicate technical concepts effectively.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and collaborate with geographically distributed teams.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
