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 right engineer will drive the success of Managebility IP (Intellectual Property) and features in AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) products through leadership & coordination, resolution of technical dependencies, and achievement of schedule commits. This is a high-visibility and widely multi-functional role, spanning pre-silicon architecture to post-silicon implementation & product delivery.
The Person
Your curiosity will drive your learning and innovation to improve how we as a group, and an organization, can get better every day. Your peers will provide you a results-oriented and encouraging environment for your career growth, fueling your opportunity to be a part of Delighting Our Customers.
Key Responsibilities
Drive technical innovation to improve AMD’s capabilities across product development and validation, including software tools and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional initiatives.
Work with multiple teams and tracking test execution to make sure all features are validated and optimized on time.
Work closely with supporting technical teams to validate new software features and new OS (Operating System) introduction.
Lead collaborative approaches with multiple teams.
Mentor others to achieve integrated projects.
Work across engineering teams and subject areas spanning silicon, firmware, hardware, and software
Coordinate debug of issues and drive them to closure
Pull together meetings, set up clear agendas and follow up on action items
Deliver regular progress updates toward program goals
Make tough decisions such as priority calls based on partial or incomplete data
Proactively drive continuous improvement for post-silicon power and performance activities
Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion
Preferred Experience
7+ years of experience in firmware development with strong system and BIOS knowledge
Solid programming skills in C and/or C++
Strong expertise in RTOS, multithreading, and TCP/IP
Well‑versed in kernel module/driver development, core dump analysis, and debugging on Linux (preferably embedded), RTOS, and FreeRTOS
Experience developing and debugging drivers for USB (3.0/4.0), DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet, and audio interfaces
Exposure to USB‑C, Thunderbolt, and IoT‑enabled docking stations
Deep understanding of operating system internals, including synchronization primitives, memory management, and multithreaded applications
Exposure to system architecture and hands‑on experience with performance analysis techniques
Strong knowledge of data structures and ability to write maintainable, scalable code
Experience writing code optimized for multithreading and multi‑core CPUs, including compiler optimization (GCC or others)
Experience in platform security at the hardware level, including trusted execution environments
Exposure to assembly programming with good understanding of processor architectures (ARM, x86, Xtensa) is desirable
Proven experience working with Windows and Linux operating systems
Good hands‑on knowledge of PC (personal computer) configurations, including software and hardware troubleshooting
Knowledge of system architecture, technical debugging, and validation strategies
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with sound debugging techniques and methodologies
Detail‑oriented with the ability to multitask through effective planning and organization
Demonstrated strong verbal and written communication, presentation, interpersonal, teamwork, customer engagement, and coordination skills
