About the role

SoC Data Path Engineer to lead post-silicon validation, debugging, and automation for AMD’s next-generation on-chip fabric and data transport architectures across multi-die/chiplet systems.

Responsibilities

  • Lead post-silicon validation and debug of SoC fabric, interconnect, and system-level data transport architectures across graphics and compute products.
  • Drive root-cause analysis of silicon issues involving coherency, routing, credit protocols, transaction ordering, memory interactions, and compute pipeline behavior.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive validation plans while improving coverage through automation, tooling, fault injection, and stress-testing methodologies.
  • Analyze scan dumps, silicon debug logs, and system telemetry to resolve hangs, stalls, synchronization failures, and protocol violations.
  • Collaborate with design, firmware, driver, runtime, and software teams to debug complex hardware-software interactions and deliver robust product solutions.
  • Lead cross-functional debug efforts spanning multiple IPs, chiplets, memory subsystems, and fabric domains to drive issue resolution and product readiness.

Qualifications

  • Experience in post-silicon validation, hardware debug, or related semiconductor development roles, with demonstrated ownership of validation planning, execution, and milestone sign-off.
  • Strong understanding of SoC architecture, multi-die/chiplet systems, on-chip fabrics, coherency protocols, memory hierarchies, caches, DMA, interrupts, and address translation mechanisms.
  • Experience debugging complex silicon issues using scan dump analysis, JTAG-based tools, or similar debug methodologies, with the ability to root-cause system-level hangs, stalls, protocol violations, and performance bottlenecks.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, Perl, or similar languages for validation automation, debug tooling, and workflow optimization.
  • Familiarity with graphics and compute architectures, GPU software stacks, runtime environments, and RAS features including error detection, fault handling, machine check logging, and system reliability mechanisms.
