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:\nAMD is looking for a talented and motivated Software Engineer to join our automation infrastructure team. This is a pure software / infrastructure role: you will design, build, and maintain the automation platform that runs large-scale test execution across Linux and Windows environments and hardware emulation platforms. The tests themselves - validation, design, and other workloads - are owned by their respective teams; your focus is the framework, execution engine, CI pipelines, scheduling, and reporting that reliably run those tests at scale and surface results. You will not be doing hardware design or writing the tests; instead you will build the robust, scalable systems that the validation, design, and tools teams depend on every day to qualify next-generation products across AMD’s server, data center, client, and embedded markets. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building infrastructure, improving developer productivity, and operating systems at scale.\nTHE PERSON:\nYou have a passion for building robust, scalable software systems and a genuine interest in developer productivity and infrastructure at scale. You think like a systems engineer, taking pride in the reliability and turnaround time of the platforms you build. You are a team player with excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with engineers across different sites and timezones. You have strong analytical and debugging skills, are pragmatic about tradeoffs, and are always ready to learn new tools and take on new problems.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nDesign, build, and maintain continuous integration and regression environments that run large-scale test suites - owned by validation, design, and other teams - across Linux and Windows platforms.\nDesign and maintain a scalable execution engine to efficiently utilize machine and storage resources.\nDesign and maintain databases to manage assets, releases, and results.\nIntegrate and support hardware emulation platforms as an execution target within the automation flow.\nImprove our validation automation eco-system and infrastructure.\nInfluence and align other tools teams to converge on common CI / regression methodologies.\nCollaborate with other tools teams, Architects, and the Design & Verification team to ensure quality releases and clear presentation of complex results.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nSolid software engineering experience building automation, tooling, or infrastructure, with strong proficiency in Python and shell scripting.\nHands-on experience developing and maintaining software across both Linux and Windows environments.\nExperience designing or operating regression / CI systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent) and job schedulers such as LSF or Slurm.\nExperience designing databases and services to manage large volumes of assets, releases, and results, and building reporting / dashboards over them.\nExperience with QEMU or similar software emulation/virtualization platforms for running and scaling test workloads\nComfort operating compute and storage resources at scale, optimizing throughput, reliability, and turnaround time.\nWorking knowledge of version control (Git), build systems, and general DevOps / release-engineering practices.\nFamiliarity with running workloads on hardware emulation platforms (e.g., Synopsys ZeBu, Cadence Palladium, or Siemens Veloce) as an execution target is a plus.\nStrong problem-solving and debug skills, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a distributed, global team.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronic / Electrical Engineering, or a related field\nJOB LOCATION(S):\nCambridge or Poland \nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services. AMD and its subsidiaries are equal opportunity, inclusive employers and will consider all applicants without regard to age, ancestry, color, marital status, medical condition, mental or physical disability, national origin, race, religion, political and/or third-party affiliation, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates and will accommodate applicants’ needs under the respective laws throughout all stages of the recruitment and selection process.\nAMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
