At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. And we're looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don't shy away from humanity's challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI.

Whether you're designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Be part of the world's leading silicon team building the diagnostics that bring AMD's security hardware to life. You'll work in a high-energy environment alongside expert, diverse engineers, with real opportunities to grow your career and apply modern AI to hard engineering problems.

The Diagnostics team develops the software that brings up, validates, and qualifies AMD's security hardware IP across CPUs, GPUs, data center/AI accelerators, and gaming consoles. In this role you will plan, design, write, debug, and optimize functional and stress tests for AMD's security control hardware IP, including dedicated encryption/decryption acceleration engines used for CPU offload. You will work directly with hardware architects, logic designers, firmware teams, and customer-facing engineers to root-cause functional issues and close testing gaps from pre-silicon through production.

You are a proactive, hands‐on engineer who enjoys solving complex hardware and software challenges and thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. You take ownership of your work, communicate effectively across disciplines,



and bring a strong debugging mindset to uncover and resolve difficult technical issues. Curious and continuously learning, you embrace new technologies, including AI-driven tools, to improve engineering efficiency and help deliver high-quality, secure products from concept through production.

Design and develop diagnostics software to bring up and validate security IP features in pre-silicon (FPGA, SoC emulation) and post-silicon (ASIC, platform) environments Plan, write, debug, and optimize functional and stress tests for AMD security hardware IP and its cryptographic acceleration engines Identify and help resolve ASIC, board, and firmware issues; provide diagnostics support to internal engineering teams and external customers Develop and deploy AI-based tools and workflows to accelerate test development, failure triage, and debug Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and drive improvements to the development process Proven experience in driver, embedded, or low-level software development, working closely with hardware designers Proficient in C/C++ and object-oriented programming Robust mix of large-scale software development, hardware understanding, and hardware/software interfacing Familiarity with Linux; Familiarity with source control systems (Perforce, Git,



SVN) Strong debugging, testing, and communication skills Proven ability to develop and deploy AI/ML solutions that resolve real engineering problems - for example, automating test generation, hardware failure and log triage, debug assistance, or developer productivity tooling Hands-on knowledge of Python and modern AI/ML frameworks and tooling (e.g., Ability to integrate AI into day-to-day engineering and development workflows, with sound judgment on where AI adds value versus traditional methods A continuous learner who actively builds and applies new AI skills as the toolset evolves Experience with applied cryptography and security protocols such as AES, SHA, and RSA Knowledge of virtual memory and IOMMU ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
