About The Position

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 TEAM: AMD's Data Center GPU organization is transforming the industry with our AI based Graphic Processors. Our primary objective is to design exceptional products that drive the evolution of computing experiences, serving as the cornerstone for enterprise Data Centers, (AI) Artificial Intelligence, HPC and Embedded systems. If this resonates with you, come and joining our Data Center GPU organization where we are building amazing AI powered products with amazing people. THE ROLE: We are seeking an exceptional Systems Debug with strong validation expertise to join our Data Center GPU Customer Engineering team. In this pivotal role, you will lead the charge in debug for HW failures from AI customers, ensuring robust system-level integration and validation on DCGPUs particularly in domains of complex technologies by working closely with our customers. Our cutting-edge Data Center GPU solutions, encompassing APUs and GPUs, demand a proactive approach to testing and debug, aiming not just for detecting issues but also identifying and mitigating future failures. THE PERSON: As a Systems Debug lead, your mission is to orchestrate an end-to-end customer issue debug by working closely with cross functional engineering teams across the company. You will need to demonstrate strong validation skills as you would interact with system validation, debug architecture and design organizations. You need to ensure products are well tested internally, deliberately pushing them to their limits to uncover vulnerabilities. This is a hands-on technical position that requires your expertise in systems design engineering which will be crucial for comprehensive product development, innovative validation strategies, and efficient problem-solving.
