About The Position

AMD is seeking a Server Platform Validation Engineer to join a global engineering team responsible for delivering and supporting Best Known Configurations (BKCs) across multiple server programs. This hands-on role brings together server platform validation, system engineering, and cross-functional technical collaboration. The engineer will be a North American technical resource for BKC activities, working with U.S.-based stakeholders and a broader global team. The work includes direct lab engagement with server platforms, troubleshooting system-level issues, executing validation and regression testing, and helping ensure BKC releases are fully validated and delivered on schedule.

The position involves working with complete server systems, including x86 CPUs, operating systems, GPU integration, and platform-level hardware/software interactions. The successful candidate will take ownership of technical work and collaborate across engineering teams and geographies. The role is based onsite in Austin, Texas, and is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Requirements

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to independently organize and prioritize multiple technical activities.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical discipline is preferred.
• The role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with server platform validation, system validation, or system engineering.
• Experience with post-silicon validation and/or platform validation programs.
• Understanding of modern x86 CPU and PC/server platform architecture, including system boot flow.
• Experience with server CPU and GPU/accelerator integration or broader hardware/software system integration.
• Working knowledge of server operating systems, particularly Linux and Windows.
• Experience developing or executing system-level validation methodologies, test plans, regression testing, or validation infrastructure.
• Experience debugging complex platform or system-level hardware/software issues.
• Familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, or Perl.
• Experience working with multiple engineering teams and stakeholders across different geographic locations.
• Experience using AI as part of day-to-day technical work; familiarity with agentic AI or using AI agents to automate technical workflows is a plus.
• Experience taking technical ownership or leading activities across teams is desired.
• Self-directed, organized, adaptable, curious, and committed to continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Support validation, execution, and release of Best Known Configurations (BKCs) across multiple server programs.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for North American engineering stakeholders, connecting U.S.-based teams with the broader global BKC organization.
• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve system and platform issues reported by engineering users to help minimize development blockers.
• Perform hands-on server platform validation in a lab environment, including system setup, regression execution, testing, and analysis.
• Take ownership of assigned portions of the BKC release and validation process and drive activities through completion.
• Collaborate across system engineering, software, firmware, validation, and other engineering disciplines to investigate platform-level issues.
• Work with x86 server platforms and contribute to validation involving CPU, GPU/accelerator, operating systems, and hardware/software integration.
• Help ensure weekly BKC releases are completed on schedule, fully validated, and free of significant issues before release to engineering users.
