Lead Systems Debug Engineer - Data Center GPU
About The Position
AMD is seeking a Lead Systems Debug Engineer to provide technical leadership for system bring-up, validation, and debug of next-generation datacenter GPU platforms. This role will drive platform readiness across hardware, firmware, software, networking, power, and SoC subsystems while leading root-cause analysis and resolution efforts. The ideal candidate will define validation strategies, develop debug methodologies, document bring-up processes, and collaborate across functional teams to ensure robust platform performance and production readiness. You are a hands-on technical leader with strong problem-solving, communication, and debugging skills. You thrive in complex environments, enjoy tackling challenging hardware/software integration issues, and can effectively coordinate across multiple engineering disciplines. Experience debugging complex HW/FW issues is required, along with a strong understanding of GPU systems, including PCIe, HBM, retimers, power delivery, networking, and SoC subsystems. Datacenter hardware experience and the ability to drive issues to closure are essential.
Requirements
