About the role

Post-silicon validation engineer focused on CPU security features for AMD x86 processors, covering architectural/microarchitectural security validation, test methodology development, debug across pre-production to production readiness, and collaboration with Architecture, Design, Firmware, Security, and Product Engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute post-silicon validation plans for CPU security features.
  • Validate architectural security capabilities including: Secure Virtual Machine (SVM); SEV / SEV-ES / SEV-SNP; Memory encryption technologies; Secure Boot; Trusted execution and attestation mechanisms; Speculation and side-channel mitigation features; Virtualization security extensions.
  • Design directed and stress workloads to verify security functionality, robustness, and corner-case behavior.
  • Perform silicon bring-up and feature enablement on pre-production platforms.
  • Debug failures spanning: CPU cores and microarchitecture; Microcode (uCode); BIOS/Firmware; Security processors and firmware.
  • Analyze logs, machine check data, MSRs, traces, and hardware debug information to isolate root causes.
  • Collaborate with Design, Architecture, Security, and Firmware teams to drive issue resolution.
  • Develop automation infrastructure to improve validation efficiency, coverage, and regression execution.
  • Track validation coverage, defect metrics, and readiness criteria for product milestones.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture and x86 processors.
  • Good knowledge of operating systems internals and virtualization technologies.
  • Familiarity with processor security concepts such as: Encryption; Authentication; Secure boot flows; Trust chains; Isolation mechanisms; Virtualization security.
  • Experience with silicon validation, system validation, or hardware validation.
  • Strong debug and root-cause analysis skills.
  • Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or scripting languages for automation.
  • Experience working in Linux and Windows environments.
