WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems.

Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary.

When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture.

We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.

Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.

Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: The Diagnostics team is responsible for developing tests and suites that exercise and validate the hardware blocks in the graphics and compute processors developed at AMD.

We understand the features that go into the hardware design, and we have the software skills to program them to life.

Once developed these diagnostics are used in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon validation through the production life of the product. THE PERSON: The successful candidate for this role will support our Memory Diagnostics development team, where you’ll gain an understanding of all the HW clients that generate memory access requests, and drive memory traffic to maximize bandwidth and stress. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Code, debug and optimize functional and stress tests for memory subsystem, virtualization and system-on-chip hardware IP Develop diagnostic tests to bring-up and validate HW features on pre-silicon environment (HW emulators) and post-silicon systems (HW silicon and platform) Identify and resolve chip, board and firmware issues Debug and root cause HW and SW issues, ensure high quality software engineering and hardware coverage bar Identify and drive improvements to framework and test architectures to improve HW coverage, debuggability and quality PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Experience: in diagnostic, device driver or firmware/embedded SW development Ability to closely interact with HW designers/architects and internal validation teams to solve functional HW/SW issues and support engineers for production failures/FA

Experience: in large-scale system software development on Linux

Experience: with ROCm/HIP (or equivalent) programming Solid understanding of PC and GPU architecture Proficient in modern C++ object-oriented programming

Experience: in system-level verification and debugging

Experience: with source control systems (git) Strong communication (verbal and written) and teamwork skills Proven debugging and testing skills Familiar with memory subsystems and caches GDDR/DDR/DRAM memory knowledge Good working knowledge of PCIe and external high-speed busses Hands-on experience with board bring up, virtual memory, virtualization, 3D graphics Familiarity with operating systems concepts and kernel debug ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: B.Sc. in Electrical/Computer Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent LOCATION: Markham, ON This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship
