• 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
