CPU Post Silicon Validation (Functional)

• Orchestrate the functional validation of CPU Cores by participating in the Test plan definition, Content generation, Execution and Debug of critical functional issues.
• Isolate and triage generic system level failures into a more focused area of the platform or CPU.
• Drive debug and resolution of Zen CPU validation issues across silicon, firmware/BIOS, and coordinating with memory partners as needed
• Develop x86 content to exercise new features and reproduce complex bugs in silicon
• Devise validation strategy from pre-silicon through customer adoption working across architecture, silicon design, firmware, validation, and debug teams
• Proactively participating in project planning, developing, and maintaining schedules, managing dependencies, and ensuring quality of deliverables at committed milestones.
• Generates/Maintains regular status representing the Cores Validation team in program meetings providing status to program management

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Programming/scripting skills (e.g. C/C++, Perl, Ruby, Python)
• x86 assembly programming
• Debug techniques and methodologies
• Extensive experience with board/platform-level debugging, including delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization
• Extensive knowledge of system architecture, technical debug, and validation strategy
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills and pronounced attention to details
• Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion
