ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE

The AMD NBIO Team is on the lookout for a dynamic, upbeat Firmware Engineer to join our growing team, focused on High-Speed I/O (HSIO) and Data Transfer IPs. As a key contributor to the success of AMD’s IP, you will design and deliver scalable firmware solutions that speed up debug and execution during bring-up and validation cycles for a given program, across forthcoming AMD APU, CPU, Compute, and Discrete Graphics SOC programs. The NBIO Team fosters and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development.

THE PERSON

You have a passion for embedded firmware development and the complex processor architecture and hardware it runs on. You are comfortable working at the boundary between firmware and hardware, and you enjoy building tools and solutions that make debug and validation faster and more reliable. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You are a self-starter with strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are ready to independently drive tasks to completion.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

As an IP Firmware Engineer, you will own firmware development and debug tooling for AMD’s HSIO and Data Transfer IPs, partnering closely with hardware design, verification, and diagnostics teams across the SOC bring-up and validation lifecycle.

• Designing, developing, and maintaining embedded firmware for AMD’s HSIO/Data Transfer IPs, including the firmware/hardware interface, register maps, and programming model, in partnership with RTL/hardware design teams as well as SoC/Platform FW teams.
• Debugging firmware and IP issues across the firmware/hardware/RTL boundary, driving failures to root cause during pre-silicon simulation, emulation, bring-up, and system validation.
• Defining and executing firmware validation strategy, including unit testing, firmware/RTL co-simulation, and regression automation, for HSIO and Data Transfer features.
• Developing and enhancing Python-based tools and infrastructure that accelerate data collection, debug turnaround, and execution of validation test plans.
