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. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.
We are seeking a Senior Board Hardware Debug Engineer to join our Datacenter & AI Board Validation team. Own complex board-level debug for high-performance Datacenter GPU platforms
Work at the intersection of cutting‑edge GPU solutions, CPUs, memory, networking, and power delivery
Lead system‑level integration and debug across multi‑board, multi‑GPU datacenter platforms
You will be a key technical leader ensuring our boards and systems meet performance, reliability, and quality targets in demanding Datacenter and AI environments.
Hands‑on : Comfortable in the lab with scopes, analyzers, probes, and soldering tools
Deeply passionate about DEBUG and testing : Creative and resourceful : Able to design experiments, work around incomplete specs, and find data‑driven solutions
You thrive in ambiguity, enjoy complex technical challenges, and take pride in owning issues to closure.
Lead board‑ and system‑level DEBUG of Datacenter GPU platforms (bring‑up, stability, performance, interoperability)
Develop and execute functional test plans for recent boards and system configurations
Perform and guide Board Signal Integrity validation: eye diagrams, jitter analysis, margins, channel characterization
Lead technical validation efforts across teams, driving validation priorities and test coverage for critical features
Champion root‑cause analysis and cross‑functional debug across silicon design, firmware, BIOS, board design, and manufacturing
Collaborate closely with hardware design, layout, SI/PI, firmware, BIOS, and system engineering teams to resolve issues




Provide design‑for‑test and design‑for‑debug feedback for future board and system designs
Document debug findings, create reproducible test cases, and drive corrective actions into design and process
Support factory, customer, and field escalations requiring deep hardware debug expertise
Proven experience in Datacenter board design and/or Board Validation for server, accelerator, or networking products
Hands‑on debug methodologies: fault isolation, boundary scan, probing, rework, A/B comparison
Solid understanding of signal integrity concepts and tools (e.g., high‑speed SerDes, DDR, PCIe channel analysis)
Working knowledge of computer and I/O protocols, such as PCIe, CXL, DDRx, NVLink, Ethernet, I2C/SMBus, SPI, etc.
Willing and comfortable traveling to support engineering builds, factory ramps, and key debug events (domestic and international, as needed)
Self‑directed and self‑motivated: able to drive tasks with minimal supervision and manage multiple debug threads in parallel
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
