Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is looking for a Platform Firmware Verification Engineer to join our Platform Firmware Quality Verification (PFQV) team. In this hands-on technical role, you will own the end-to-end delivery of critical firmware verification work and develop methodologies to improve the pre-silicon phase of SoC development.
What You'll Do
- Own the end-to-end delivery of firmware verification work for features or projects, from scoping and design through implementation, validation, and release.
- Drive implementation and validation tasks, and contribute to design specifications and technical proposals.
- Debug and resolve complex, cross-component issues in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
- Partner with program managers, architects, validation, and other firmware teams to identify dependencies, risks, and execution gaps.
- Surface issues early and drive them to closure, while balancing short-term delivery needs with long-term technical health.
What We're Looking For
- A Bachelor’s degree in Software/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or another relevant field.
Nice to Have
- Experience in firmware verification with a solid understanding of pre-silicon and post-silicon functional verification.
- Extensive full verification lifecycle experience (design, implementation, debugging, validation, sustainment) with excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills.
- Outstanding communication and collaboration skills (written, verbal, interpersonal) and the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams.
- Expertise in firmware QA concepts, best practices, and procedures.
- Experience developing verification requirements, test plans, and test cases, and in creating and reviewing requirements and test plans.
- Experience conducting functional, regression, and performance testing to validate firmware functionality and stability.
- Comfort with scripting (e.g., Python, Windows PowerShell, Java) and experience with Jenkins server operation and pipeline scripting.
- Strong low-level C/C++ skills; familiarity with firmware architecture across the stack; experience in VM management and simulation/emulation environments; proficiency with Jama, GitHub, and Jira.
