THE ROLE:  

We are looking for a dynamic, energetic Systems Test Validation Engineer to join our growing team. This technical role is AMD client Post-Silicon features IO validation and enablement at the silicon IP level up through IP, integration, and system levels on AMD client products. This individual will be primarily responsible for leading the USB, Misc IO validation, interfacing with IP design, debug, BIOS/firmware, and platform design groups to develop, optimize and execute validation test plans for client products from pre-silicon validation plan to post-silicon bring-up/validation, debug feature issues, and maintain validation infrastructure to achieve product deliver milestones.

THE PERSON:  

As an IO functional Validation Engineer, the candidate should be self‑motivated, delivery‑driven, and innovation‑minded, with a strong technical foundation in IO IP (SoC/IP blocks) and clear, effective communication skills. Preference for candidates with AI tool development and deployment experience to improve validation efficiency

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Perform USB and Misc low speed IOfunctional validation at system level and IP/block level in pre-silicon and/or post-silicon environments.
• Develop validation plans, test cases, and test environments based on design specifications and architecture documents.
• Execute validation tests, analyze results, and ensure comprehensive coverage for USB IP and related system components.
• Validate and debug features and interoperability involving IO subsystems on x86-based platforms.
• Work closely with design, architecture, firmware, and software teams to identify root-cause, and resolve functional issues.
• Participate in automation and improvement of validation flows, AI tools, and methodologies.
• Execute and drive success of programs with multiple projects on the goal
