Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE:We are looking for an experienced engineer with a strong desire to work on bringing the next-generation high-performance computing products to market and motivated in expanding their own horizons. In this role, the engineer will be an important part of a highly visible and motivated team responsible for Infinity Fabric IP firmware development and feature enablement across all AMD products. THE PERSON:You are passionate about firmware development on bare-metal or close to bare-metal environment. You have the ability to look at the ‘big picture’, design solutions that are optimal and scalable, and document them concisely. You will be enhancing associated tools and infrastructure for data extraction, processing, compiling, and decompiling. In addition, you will contribute towards debug and optimization of software to support silicon bring-up, validation, and debugging.   KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • Responsible for firmware development and feature enablement in the Infinity Fabric interconnect across all AMD products, including design, documentation, unit testing and debug for pre and post silicon support. • Enhancing python-based tools that process large amounts of complex data to produce a hardware initialization binary. • Develop tools and infrastructure that help in the collection of the initialization data C • Work closely with architects and other IP leads to determine firmware scope and implementation details to meet firmware deliverables schedules and milestones. • Perform unit and integration test, engage with various teams to provide debug support in the emulation, simulation, and post-silicon environment. • Be an active participant in design and code reviews. • Work with internal and external teams to ensure the highest level of quality and satisfaction throughout the firmware lifecycle.  PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: • Expertise in low-level C programming, software optimization techniques, and debugging for embedded systems. • Experience in end to end firmware development cycle, integration, and good understanding of verification/validation for pre and post silicon for SoC designs. • Experience in hardware/software interfaces and methodically debugging sophisticated issues at the IP, subsystem and/or system level using source code debuggers and other system debug tools. • Strong background in computer architecture with familiarity in memory interleaving, system memory maps and NUMA domain concepts. • Knowledge of board, processor/ASIC bring-up and testing platforms (Simulation and/or Emulation). • Experience with source control systems including git/gerrit. • Must be well-organized, technically oriented, and a self-starter with a demonstrated ability to support multiple products, work collaboratively, and coordinate activities with geographically distributed technical teams. ACADEMIC GREDENCIALS: • BS or MS in Computer Science/Computer Engineering LOCATION: • Iasi, Romania (Hybrid) or from anywhere in Romania (Remote) #LI-NG2 #LI-HYBRID Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
