ADVANCE THE WORLD.\nAt AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.\nAMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward.\n THE ROLE:\nWe are seeking an experienced SoC Data Path Engineer to lead validation and debug of AMD's next-generation on-chip fabric and data transport architectures. This role focuses on post-silicon validation of fabric, coherency, memory, and compute data flows that enable communication across CPU, GPU, accelerator, and chiplet subsystems. You will play a critical role in ensuring performance, scalability, functionality, and reliability across complex multi-die products.\nTHE PERSON:\nAs a SoC Data Path Engineer, you will drive balanced, scalable, and automated solutions. In this high visibility position, your software systems engineering expertise will be necessary towards product development, definition, and root cause resolution.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nLead post-silicon validation and debug of SoC fabric, interconnect, and system-level data transport architectures across graphics and compute products.\nDrive root-cause analysis of silicon issues involving coherency, routing, credit protocols, transaction ordering, memory interactions, and compute pipeline behavior.\nDevelop and execute comprehensive validation plans while improving coverage through automation, tooling, fault injection, and stress-testing methodologies.\nAnalyze scan dumps, silicon debug logs, and system telemetry to resolve hangs, stalls, synchronization failures, and protocol violations.\nCollaborate with design, firmware, driver, runtime, and software teams to debug complex hardware-software interactions and deliver robust product solutions.\nLead cross-functional debug efforts spanning multiple IPs, chiplets, memory subsystems, and fabric domains to drive issue resolution and product readiness.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nExperience in post-silicon validation, hardware debug, or related semiconductor development roles, with demonstrated ownership of validation planning, execution, and milestone sign-off.\nStrong understanding of SoC architecture, multi-die/chiplet systems, on-chip fabrics, coherency protocols, memory hierarchies, caches, DMA, interrupts, and address translation mechanisms.\n\nExperience debugging complex silicon issues using scan dump analysis, JTAG-based tools, or similar debug methodologies, with the ability to root-cause system-level hangs, stalls, protocol violations, and performance bottlenecks.\n\nProficiency in C/C++, Python, Perl, or similar languages for validation automation, debug tooling, and workflow optimization.\n\nFamiliarity with graphics and compute architectures, GPU software stacks, runtime environments, and RAS features including error detection, fault handling, machine check logging, and system reliability mechanisms.\n\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelors or Masters degree in electrical or computer engineering\nLOCATION:\nMarkham, ON\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
