Manager - Post Silicon Hsio Validation

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Austin, TX · Engineering

Manager of Systems Design Engineering at AMD, focusing on post-silicon validation of high-speed IO (CXL, PCIe) for datacenter CPUs. The role involves technical leadership, team management, test plan design, feature enablement, problem-solving, and driving validation planning and execution. Experience in automation, pre/post-silicon verification, and power/performance analysis is preferred.

What you'd actually do

  1. Participating and playing critical role in resource prioritization and task planning
  2. Contributing to test plan design and establishing requirements
  3. Providing day-to-day oversight for the team, with specific responsibilities for the feature enablement and validation of CXL, PCIe and other high speed IO features
  4. While the team has technical leads for each IP, this is a technical role that requires broad system knowledge and the ability to drive technical issues to resolution
  5. Problem solving – the successful candidate loves debugging complex problems and has a track record of doing so
