Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.
Together, we advance your career.
The Role
Plan, debug and manage manufacturing and characterization test programs for next-generation AMD microprocessors. Work on internal System Level Test (SLT) platforms. Debug test infrastructure issues including test HW, test SW, diagnostics and device-specific IP. Engineers must ensure overall compatibility, compliance, and test coverage of microprocessors from product definition through product qualification and into high volume manufacturing by developing product specific test hardware, software and diagnostics.

The Person
A successful candidate is one who can drive technical decisions independently, has accountability for accuracy, reliability and completeness of assignment results critical to the project’s success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Is responsible for quality and timeliness of result for a portion of project/process.

  • Problems require analysis and evaluation using standard engineering methods.

  • Performs design or design-equivalent work on a portion of a project, process or activity of limited scope.

  • Has accountability for accuracy, reliability and completeness of assignment results which contribute to a managed project’s success.

  • Execute product improvement activities to reduce costs, improve yield and resolve quality issues.

  • Other duties as necessary.

Preferred Experience

  • programming experience with C++, Java, Python, C, or C#.

  • Familiar with general Computer Architecture concepts such as pipelining and caching, x86 architecture, and PC computer organization.

  • Courses in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Digital Logic, and Circuit Theory.

  • Understanding in Lean, XP, AGILE, Scrum, or Kanban processes and with revision control (GIT, SVN, CVS, or similar).

  • Familiar with Linux or Unix Operating Systems.

  • Familiar with Microsoft standard apps (i.e. Office), Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.

Practice Questions

💡Technical Questions (3)
  • 1.How would you approach debugging a failing System Level Test (SLT) diagnostic on a next-generation AMD microprocessor?
  • 2.Can you explain how computer architecture concepts like pipelining and caching impact test coverage and SLT diagnostic design for x86 processors?
  • 3.Describe your experience using programming languages like C++ or Python to develop test software or automate test infrastructure.
🎯Behavioral Questions (3)
  • 1.Tell me about a time you had to drive a technical decision independently while ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your results.
  • 2.Describe a situation where you had to execute product improvement activities to reduce costs, improve yield, or resolve a quality issue.
  • 3.Give an example of how you effectively collaborated with a geographically distributed engineering team to solve a complex problem.
🧩Situational Questions (2)
  • 1.You are managing a characterization test program for a new microprocessor, and you discover a test infrastructure issue that is causing intermittent failures, but the production deadline is approaching. How do you handle this?
  • 2.You notice that a specific diagnostic you wrote for a device IP is passing in your local environment but failing when integrated into the broader SLT platform. What is your approach to resolving this?
