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:\nWe are seeking an Infrastructure Platform Engineer with strong MAAS, operating-system imaging, Linux, and bare-metal provisioning experience to provide L2 technical and incident-management support for AMD Fleet Services. This offshore role is an escalation point for incidents that exceed L1 runbooks and is responsible for advanced diagnosis, coordinated restoration, authorized remediation, recovery validation, and complete escalation to the accountable platform or engineering owner.\nThe engineer will improve the reliability and repeatability of server onboarding, reprovisioning, image deployment, host recovery, and Linux lifecycle operations while helping the IOQ Modern NOC convert recurring issues into monitoring, automation, SOP, and runbook improvements.\nTHE PERSON:\nYou are a hands-on Linux and infrastructure platform engineer who troubleshoots from evidence, understands the complete bare-metal provisioning path, and remains disciplined during high-impact incidents. You balance restoration speed with change control, communicate ownership and risk clearly, and collaborate effectively across offshore and United States-based teams.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nProvide L2 incident management and technical support for in-scope MAAS, Linux, operating-system imaging, bare-metal provisioning, and host-lifecycle services used by AMD Fleet Services.\nOwn technical investigation of assigned incidents from L1 escalation through diagnosis, mitigation, recovery validation, documentation, and handoff or closure.\nAssess incident impact, priority, affected assets, dependencies, recovery options, risks, and required owners; provide concise updates during incident bridges and follow-the-sun handoffs.\nValidate L1 evidence, isolate provisioning, image, operating-system, network-boot, hardware-management, or automation failure domains, and execute approved recovery actions.\nTroubleshoot MAAS controllers, regions, racks, commissioning, deployment, enrollment, machine state, networking, storage layout, metadata, logs, and API interactions within assigned scope.\nTroubleshoot PXE, DHCP, DNS, TFTP, HTTP, cloud-init, curtin, image synchronization, repository, certificate, proxy, and authentication dependencies that affect provisioning and imaging.\nSupport the creation, validation, publication, and lifecycle management of approved Linux images, ensuring version control, traceability, security requirements, and repeatable deployment outcomes.\nDiagnose Linux boot, kernel, driver, package, filesystem, service, permission, configuration, performance, and logging issues that prevent host readiness or reliable operation.\nUse BMC, Redfish, firmware, BIOS, hardware inventory, and out-of-band telemetry to distinguish hardware, firmware, provisioning, and operating-system failures.\nCoordinate restoration and escalation with network, storage, compute, identity, security, facilities, platform engineering, and hardware support teams while maintaining clear IOQ scope and ownership boundaries.\nCreate complete escalation packages with impact, timeline, affected systems, evidence, actions attempted, change references, residual risk, and recommended next steps.\nParticipate in postmortems and problem-management reviews; identify recurring failure modes and track corrective actions to the accountable owner.\nDevelop and maintain SOPs, runbooks, validation checks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge articles that enable safe and consistent L1 execution.\nAutomate repeatable diagnostics, evidence collection, image validation, provisioning checks, configuration verification, and approved remediation using Python, shell, Ansible, MAAS APIs, or comparable tools.\nImprove observability for provisioning and Linux platform services by defining actionable telemetry, alerts, dashboards, service-health indicators, and diagnostic evidence requirements.\nMaintain accurate Jira records, operational documentation, shift handoffs, and service-status updates throughout the incident lifecycle.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nExperience supporting MAAS or comparable bare-metal provisioning platforms in a production data center, GPU, HPC, private-cloud, or large-scale Linux environment.\nStrong Linux administration and troubleshooting across boot, kernel, drivers, services, filesystems, networking, permissions, packages, performance, and logs.\nHands-on experience with PXE, DHCP, DNS, TFTP, cloud-init, curtin, image repositories, and automated operating-system deployment.\nExperience building, testing, versioning, securing, and maintaining standardized Linux images and associated deployment pipelines.\nExperience with server hardware, firmware, BIOS, BMC, Redfish, out-of-band management, and hardware-health telemetry.\nAutomation experience with Python, shell, Ansible, REST APIs, Git, CI/CD, or configuration-management systems.\nExperience with Jira, major-incident response, change control, postmortems, and problem management.\nAbility to work independently offshore and provide complete handoffs to United States-based teams.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered.\nLOCATION:\nPenang, Malaysia\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
