The Platform FW Quality group is responsible for integration, validation, release and automation activities across the entire Platform Stack that runs on AMD’s range of Graphic Cards (Discrete GPUs), APUs, and CPUs. The team is also responsible for modernizing and enhancing the security infrastructure across the FW organization. You will be a hands-on Technical Lead within the platform firmware organization, responsible for owning and driving delivery of critical firmware initiatives end-to-end. This role is designed for an experienced engineer who wants to lead through influence, technical depth, and execution, while remaining a strong individual contributor. You will work closely with architects, program leadership, and cross-functional engineering teams to define scope, drive design and implementation, manage interdependencies, and ensure successful delivery of firmware features and capabilities for AMD APUs and CPUs. This will be an opportunity to build your skills in Firmware Test Driven Development, as well as Pre-Silicon/Post-Silicon development environments such as Simulators, FPGAs, and Emulation Platforms. We also have a number of QA initiatives in flight such as integration of GitHub Actions Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Pipelines into our Software Development and Release model. Integration of Virtual/Simulation test environments. Software/Firmware infrastructure signing enhancements with AKS and mTLS improvements. This role carries clear ownership for outcomes—quality, schedule, and technical direction—while mentoring and guiding other engineers to raise overall execution standards.
Job Responsibility:
Own the end to end delivery of infrastructure firmware features or projects, from scoping and design through implementation, validation, and release
Drive architectural and design decisions, author and review design specifications and technical proposals
Act as the primary technical owner for assigned areas, ensuring correctness, robustness, and long term maintainability
Debug and resolve complex, cross component issues in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments
Lead by influence: drive alignment, set technical direction, and unblock execution across teams
Mentor and guide junior and midlevel engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and day to day technical coaching
Set a high bar for engineering excellence, development discipline, and quality
Partner with program managers, architects, validation, and other firmware teams to identify dependencies, risks, and execution gaps
Proactively track progress, surface issues early, and drive them to closure
Balance short term delivery needs with long term technical health
Requirements:
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with an emphasis on product development
Experience with SW development in C / C++ or scripting in Python, Perl, Ruby
Proficiency with Cloud Infrastructure - Azure, Kubernetes - AKS
Networking (TCP/IP, basic administration) and Linux command line knowledge
Experience or strong interest in low-level programming and debugging. Embedded C experience is an asset.
Nice to have:
Prior experience mentoring or technically leading other engineers
Experience with Software signing and crypto algorithms will be considered an asset
