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 Server Platform Validation Engineer to join a global engineering team responsible for delivering and supporting Best Known Configurations (BKCs) used across multiple server programs. This is a highly visible, hands-on role that sits at the intersection of server platform validation, system engineering, and cross-functional technical collaboration.\nIn this role, you will serve as a key North American technical resource for BKC activities, partnering closely with engineering stakeholders in the U.S. and a broader global team. You will work directly with server platforms in the lab, troubleshoot system-level issues, execute validation and regression testing, and help ensure BKC releases are fully validated and delivered on schedule.\nThis is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding how complete server systems work, from x86 CPUs and operating systems to GPU integration and platform-level hardware/software interaction. You will have an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful technical work, solve complex system problems, and collaborate with engineering teams across multiple geographies and programs.\nTHE PERSON:\nThe ideal candidate is a hands-on systems engineer who enjoys troubleshooting complex technical problems and taking ownership from investigation through resolution. This person communicates clearly, works effectively across geographically distributed teams, and is comfortable collaborating with multiple engineering disciplines and stakeholders.\nThe successful candidate will be self-directed, organized, and able to balance hands-on technical execution with cross-functional communication. Curiosity, strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a continuous-improvement mindset will help this individual thrive in a fast-moving server engineering environment.\nCandidates who are comfortable incorporating AI into their daily workflow and interested in using emerging AI capabilities to improve or automate technical workflows will be well positioned for success. Richard specifically identified everyday AI use as valuable and agentic AI/workflow automation as a more advanced capability.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nSupport the validation, execution, and release of Best Known Configurations (BKCs) across multiple server programs.\nServe as a technical point of contact for North American engineering stakeholders, helping connect U.S.-based teams with the broader global BKC organization.\nInvestigate, troubleshoot, and resolve system and platform issues reported by engineering users to help minimize development blockers.\nPerform hands-on server platform validation, including system setup, regression execution, testing, and analysis in a lab environment.\nTake ownership of assigned portions of the BKC release and validation process and drive activities through completion.\nCollaborate across system engineering, software, firmware, validation, and other engineering disciplines to investigate platform-level issues.\nWork with x86 server platforms and contribute to validation involving CPU, GPU/accelerator, OS, and hardware/software integration.\nHelp ensure weekly BKC releases are completed on schedule, fully validated, and free of significant issues before release to engineering users.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nExperience with server platform validation, system validation, or system engineering.\nExperience with post-silicon validation and/or platform validation programs.\nUnderstanding of modern x86 CPU and PC/server platform architecture, including system boot flow.\nExperience with server CPU and GPU/accelerator integration or broader hardware/software system integration.\nWorking knowledge of server operating systems, particularly Linux and Windows.\nExperience developing or executing system-level validation methodologies, test plans, regression testing, or validation infrastructure.\nExperience debugging complex platform or system-level hardware/software issues.\nFamiliarity with programming or scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, or Perl.\nExperience working with multiple engineering teams and stakeholders across different geographic locations.\nExperience using AI as part of day-to-day technical work. Familiarity with agentic AI or using AI agents to automate technical workflows is a plus. \nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to independently organize and prioritize multiple technical activities.\nExperience taking technical ownership or leading activities across teams is desired.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical discipline is preferred.\nLOCATION: Austin, Texas (Onsite)\nThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.\n#LI-CS1\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.
