About the role
Entry-level Systems Design Engineer role focused on debugging hardware and software failures for AMD's DGPU team, with emphasis on hypothesis-driven debugging, cross-functional collaboration, and development of automation and analysis tools.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive debugging of hardware and software failures on prototype and production silicon — from initial symptom to confirmed root cause.
- Design and execute targeted experiments to isolate failures across hardware, firmware, drivers, and system software.
- Use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers) alongside software tools and diagnostics to capture and interpret failure signatures.
- Engage design, architecture, and software teams to reproduce issues, validate hypotheses, and verify fixes.
- Author clear, structured debug reports documenting reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and resolution — building shared institutional knowledge.
- Develop and maintain debug scripts and automation tools (Python, shell) to accelerate failure triage and reduce manual investigation time.
- Contribute to test plan development to improve coverage of corner cases and failure modes identified through debug.
- Apply machine learning or data-driven approaches to identify failure patterns across large datasets and prioritize debug efforts.
- Participate in silicon bring-up, characterizing new hardware and establishing baseline behavior to detect regressions early.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
