Responsibilities

• Debug Engineer THE ROLE: AMD is looking for a highly motivated and experienced Silicon Debug Engineer to join our Platform Bring-up and Validation team. In this role, you will be responsible for post-silicon validation, debug, and platform enablement activities for next-generation x86-based products. You will work closely with Architecture, Design, Firmware, BIOS, and Software teams to identify, isolate, and resolve complex silicon and platform issues, helping drive products from bring-up through production readiness. THE PERSON: The ideal candidate is a technically strong, self-driven engineer with extensive experience in post-silicon validation and debug of x86 platforms. You possess deep knowledge of system architecture, firmware, and hardware interactions and have a proven track record of root-causing complex issues. You thrive in a collaborative environment, communicate effectively across teams, and enjoy mentoring junior engineers while driving technical excellence. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: - Identify, isolate, and debug hardware, firmware, and platform issues using scan dumps, trace tools, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other silicon debug tools. - Perform post-silicon validation and characterization of AMD x86 SoC and platform components. - Collaborate with Design, Architecture, BIOS, Firmware, Validation, and Software teams to root-cause failures and drive corrective actions. - Analyze silicon behavior and correlate results with design specifications, simulations, and pre-silicon models. - Support platform bring-up activities and contribute to platform stability, performance, and readiness milestones. - Develop and maintain debug utilities, test scripts, and automation frameworks using Python, Perl, or similar scripting languages. - Execute regression, stress, and validation testing to ensure product quality and reliability. - Drive BIOS/UEFI validation efforts and debug firmware-related issues across platform subsystems. - Prepare comprehensive debug reports, failure analyses, validation summaries, and technical documentation for stakeholders. - Mentor junior engineers and foster a productive, collaborative engineering environment. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: - 8+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, platform bring-up, and silicon debug of x86-based systems. - Strong understanding of x86 architecture, system architecture, CPU subsystems, memory hierarchy, and SoC design. - Experience debugging interfaces and technologies including PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet, and other platform I/O subsystems. - Deep knowledge of BIOS/UEFI and x86 firmware architecture. - Strong expertise in memor
