BIOS RAS SME
THE ROLE
AMD is looking for a highly motivated BIOS RAS Subject Matter Expert (SME) to join the Embedded x86 Validation Team. In this role, you will lead end-to-end validation, debug, and enablement of Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features across next-generation Embedded x86 Programs.
You will partner with Architecture, BIOS, Firmware, Silicon Design, Product Engineering, and Validation teams to ensure industry-leading quality, reliability, and resiliency of AMD products. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in x86 platform architecture, BIOS/UEFI, memory subsystems, and system-level RAS validation.
THE PERSON
The successful candidate is passionate about platform quality and enjoys solving complex system-level challenges. You are a technical leader who thrives in cross-functional environments and has a proven track record in BIOS, firmware, silicon, or platform validation.
You possess strong analytical and debugging skills and are comfortable driving technical discussions across architecture, development, validation, and customer-facing teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own validation strategy and quality sign-off for BIOS-driven RAS features across AMD APU platforms.
- Define feature coverage plans, validation methodologies, and automation strategies for RAS testing.
- Validate system resiliency, error detection, error containment, recovery, and reporting mechanisms.
- Drive validation and debug of:
- Memory ECC
- MCA architecture
- Error injection frameworks
- PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER)
- Platform-first and OS-first error handling
- Watchdog, reset, and recovery mechanisms
- Collaborate with BIOS, Firmware, Silicon Design, Architecture, and Customer Engineering teams to diagnose and resolve complex platform issues.
- Develop and execute automated regression suites to improve validation coverage and efficiency.
- Analyze failures, perform root cause investigations, and drive resolution through closure.
- Define quality metrics and release readiness criteria for program milestones.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to best practices across the validation organization. These responsibilities align with internal AMD RAS validation expectations and platform quality ownership.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- 8+ years of experience in BIOS, Firmware, System Validation, Platform Validation, or related fields.
- Strong understanding of:
- x86 architecture
- BIOS/UEFI
- DDR4/DDR5 memory architecture
- ECC mechanisms
- Reliability and error-handling architectures
- PCIe and advanced I/O subsystems
- Experience with silicon bring-up, platform enablement, and production-quality validation.
- Hands-on experience with system debug tools, error injection frameworks, and log analysis.
- Strong knowledge of Linux-based validation environments.
- Experience using Jira, source control systems, and validation automation frameworks.
Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for automation.
Academic Credentials
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field required.
- Master’s degree preferred.
- Equivalent industry experience may be considered where applicable.
