About the Role

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

Responsibilities

• Lead system-level, rack-level, and cluster-scale validation strategy for AI and machine learning server platforms.
• Define and drive comprehensive validation plans covering customer deployment scenarios across scale-up and scale-out environments.
• Develop validation methodologies and test strategies spanning CPU, GPU, memory, BIOS, BMC, networking, storage, platform firmware, operating systems, and infrastructure components.
• Collaborate with architecture, hardware, firmware, software, and platform engineering teams to define validation requirements, identify coverage gaps, and improve overall product quality.
• Lead investigation and root cause analysis of complex hardware, firmware, software, networking, and system integration issues.
• Drive technical decision-making within the validation organization and influence cross-functional teams to resolve critical product risks and quality concerns.
• Define and enhance scalable validation frameworks, automation infrastructure, telemetry-driven workflows, and data-driven validation methodologies.
• Analyze large-scale validation data to identify systemic failures, reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, and product readiness concerns.
• Establish validation readiness criteria, quality metrics, and coverage strategies that improve execution efficiency and provide early risk identification.
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to engineers, helping improve validation methodologies, automation capabilities, debugging effectiveness, and system-level engineering practices.
• Drive execution across multiple validation programs while managing priorities, dependencies, schedules, and technical risks.
• Communicate validation status, readiness assessments, quality metrics, technical recommendations, and key risks to senior technical leadership and management.
• Support customer-focused validation efforts by ensuring test environments accurately represent real-world deployment conditions and hyperscale operating environments.
• Drive continuous improvements in validation processes, tools, and automation to improve organizational efficiency, test coverage, and product quality.
