ADVANCE THE WORLD.\nAt AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.\nWhether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.\nTHE ROLE:\nThe Platform FW Quality group is responsible for integration, validation, release and automation activities across the entire Platform Stack that runs on AMD’s range of Graphic Cards (Discrete GPUs), APUs, and CPUs. The team is also responsible for modernizing and enhancing the security infrastructure across the FW organization.\nWe are looking for a highly motivated Infrastructure Engineer in Firmware to join our team.You will be a hands-on Technical Lead within the platform firmware organization, responsible for owning and driving delivery of critical firmware initiatives end-to-end. This role is designed for an experienced engineer who wants to lead through influence, technical depth, and execution, while remaining a strong individual contributor.\nYou will work closely with architects, program leadership, and cross-functional engineering teams to define scope, drive design and implementation, manage interdependencies, and ensure successful delivery of firmware features and capabilities for AMD APUs and CPUs.\nThis will be an opportunity to build your skills in Firmware Test Driven Development, as well as Pre-Silicon/Post-Silicon development environments such as Simulators, FPGAs, and Emulation Platforms. We also have a number of QA initiatives in flight such as integration of GitHub Actions Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Pipelines into our Software Development and Release model. Integration of Virtual/Simulation test environments.\nSoftware/Firmware infrastructure signing enhancements with AKS and mTLS improvements\nThis role carries clear ownership for outcomes-quality, schedule, and technical direction-while mentoring and guiding other engineers to raise overall execution standards.\nTHE PERSON:\nYou are a technically strong, self-driven engineer who naturally takes ownership and steps into leadership when ambiguity exists. You enjoy solving complex problems, driving alignment, and helping teams execute effectively. You lead by example-through high quality design, clean code, strong communication, and consistent follow through.\nYou are comfortable influencing without authority, balancing technical depth with pragmatism, and holding yourself and others accountable for delivery.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nTechnical Ownership and Delivery\nOwn the end to end delivery of infrastructure firmware features or projects, from scoping and design through implementation, validation, and release\nDrive architectural and design decisions, author and review design specifications and technical proposals\nAct as the primary technical owner for assigned areas, ensuring correctness, robustness, and long term maintainability\nDebug and resolve complex, cross component issues in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.\nLeadership & Influence\nLead by influence: drive alignment, set technical direction, and unblock execution across teams.\nMentor and guide junior and midlevel engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and day to day technical coaching\nSet a high bar for engineering excellence, development discipline, and quality.\nExecution & Cross Team Collaboration\nPartner with program managers, architects, validation, and other firmware teams to identify dependencies, risks, and execution gaps\nProactively track progress, surface issues early, and drive them to closure.\nBalance short term delivery needs with long term technical health.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nStrong problem-solving and analytical skills with an emphasis on product development\nCI/CD Pipeline Engineering (GitHub Actions/Jenkins): Expertise in designing modular, reusable GitHub Actions workflows (workflow_call), dynamic matrix configurations for multi-variant builds, event-driven automation, and concurrency/queue controls to optimize build throughput.\nMulti-Stage Build & Validation Pipelines: Experience architecting end-to-end validation pipelines (pre-merge gates, post-merge checks, nightly regressions) with automated test execution, failure triaging, and log parsing to accelerate root-cause analysis.\nAutomation Scripting & Tooling Integration: Strong proficiency in Python, Bash/Shell, and PowerShell for creating custom build tooling, test orchestration harnesses, and integrating REST/GraphQL APIs across developer platforms.\nReliability, Performance & CI Observability: Proven track record in optimizing pipeline runtimes (caching, parallelization), implementing fault-tolerant retry strategies, and instrumenting CI telemetry (runner health, queue latencies, build success metrics).\nSecurity, Secrets Management & Governance: Hands-on experience enforcing secure CI/CD practices, including secrets management/token handling, automated branch protection rules, required status checks, and repository governance policies.\nExperience with Software Development in C/C++ or scripting in Python, Perl, Ruby\nProficiency with Cloud Infrastructure - Azure, Kubernetes - AKS\nNetworking (TCP/IP, basic administration) and Linux command line knowledge\nExperience or strong interest in low-level programming and debugging\nEmbedded C experience is an asset\nPrior experience mentoring or technically leading other engineers\nExperience with Software signing and crypto algorithms will be considered an asset.\nSoftware Security tooling, scanning and analysis.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelors Degree in Engineering \nLOCATION:\nBelgrade, Nis or Novi Sad \nEMPLOYMENT DURATION:\n12 months Fixed Term Contract with an opportunity to be extended or converted into a permanent - indefinite employment\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
