THE ROLE: Technical leader responsible for System and Silicon Debug of AMD EPYC Server products. The successful candidate will work as part of the post-silicon validation group; facilitating all aspects of debug and resolution for system level failures working with engineering teams across AMD. Candidate will be immersed in challenging work developing & executing debug strategy for optimal debug throughput on current product to meet project milestones at POR quality. The system debug lead will also help in driving improvements to current product and future debug methodology. The candidate should be able to work in a global environment while maintaining a synergetic culture.  

The Person:

As a key contributor to the success of AMD's product, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD's abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry leading technologies to market. As System Debug Lead you will be responsible for post-Silicon debug in the next generation of AMD's flagship server CPU products. In this role you will facilitate the debug efforts of a program to ensure the maximum debug throughput is achieved. The System debug lead will also help to drive improvements in the current product and future debug methodology working with System Validation and Engineering teams and other stakeholders (System Architects, IP design, SoC, FW, SW, manufacturing). 

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure issues are solved on time with quality.    
• Lead complex debug efforts for internal Silicon findings to identify root cause and resolution. 
• Manage and track technical issues, risks and priorities. Manage customer and executive communications, including program status, risks and opportunities. 
• Publish debug program indicators to identify major roadblocks and drive changes to improve debug throughput. 
• Evaluate at the end of every program milestone if the open issues are gating to go to the next milestone.  
• Drive improvements to the debug process based on the program learnings.     

Preferred Skills: 

• 15+ years or more of experience in validation roles involving debugging OS, FW, Silicon, and HW issues. 
• Understanding of PC industry standard busses and their software stack, such as PCIe, CXL.
