The Role:
AMD Infinity Data Fabric (DF) is used across all our product segments including EPYC, Ryzen, Vega, Navi, and Semi-Custom products. We are looking for a qualified engineer with a strong desire to work on bringing the next-generation high-performance computing products to market and motivated in expanding their own horizons.
In this role, the engineer will be an important part of a highly visible and motivated team responsible for Infinity Fabric IP firmware development and feature enablement across all AMD products.
You will be enhancing associated tools and infrastructure for data extraction, processing, compiling, and decompiling. In addition, you will contribute towards debug and optimization of software to support silicon bring-up, validation, and debug.
As a member of the team, you will also be responsible for contributing to coding, code reviews, creating unit tests, and authoring detailed documentation related to your work.

THE PERSON:
You are passionate about firmware development on bare-metal or close to bare-metal environment. You have the ability to look at the ‘big picture’, design solutions that are optimal and scalable, and document them concisely. You are a good team player with a collaborative can-do attitude. You feel that Code quality, robustness and extendibility are critical.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Responsible for firmware development and feature enablement in the Infinity Fabric interconnect across all AMD products, including design, documentation, unit testing and debug for pre and post silicon support.
• Enhancing python-based tools that process large amounts of complex data to produce a hardware initialization binary. Develop tools and infrastructure that help in the collection of the initialization data in either python or C / C++.
• Work closely with architects and other IP leads to determine firmware scope and implementation details to meet firmware deliverables schedules and milestones.
• Perform unit and integration test, engage with various teams to provide debug support in the emulation, simulation, and post-silicon environment.
• Be an active participant in design and code reviews.
• Work with internal and external teams to ensure highest level of quality and satisfaction throughout firmware lifecycle.

PREFERRED experience:

• Proven experience in firmware development cycle, integration, and good understanding of verification/validation for pre and post silicon for SoC designs.
• Expertise in low-level C programming, software optimization techniques and debugging for embedded systems.
• Strong in Python and Linux scripting applied to data parsing and processing.
• Strong background in computer architecture with familiarity in memory interleaving, system memory maps and NUMA domain concepts.
• Prior experience in board, processor/ASIC bring-up and testing platforms (Simulation and/or Emulation).
• Experience in hardware/software interfaces and methodically debugging sophisticated issues at the IP, subsystem and/or system level using source code debuggers and other system debug tools.
• Experience with source control systems including Git/Gerrit.
• Excellent written, verbal communication and presentation skills.
• Must be well-organized, technically oriented, and a self-starter with a demonstrated ability to support multiple products, work collaboratively and coordinate activities with geographically distributed technical teams.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• BS or MS in Computer Science/Computer Engineering
