TL;DR · CPU Product Application Engineer

As a CPU Product Application Engineer on the Datacenter Product Application Engineering team, you will directly manage technical interactions with key customers to enable the deployment of EPYC CPUs in cloud, enterprise, HPC, and sovereign AI segments. You will support customers during system bring-up and validation, guide them on AMD tools and qualification test methods, and lead the root cause investigation for hardware and firmware issues. Your daily work involves developing manufacturing tests, authoring design guidelines, and providing recommendations to improve software and hardware experiences. The role requires expertise in server architecture, high-speed signal integrity, and industry standards like DDR, PCIe, and I3C/I2C. You will utilize skills in Enterprise Linux environments, firmware, and BIOS settings, with the potential to use Shell, C/C++, or Python to solve complex technical challenges for data center systems.

What you'll do

  • Manage technical interactions with key customers to enable the deployment of EPYC CPUs in their systems.
  • Support customers during the bring-up and validation of EPYC CPUs using AMD tools and test methods.
  • Lead the investigation and root cause analysis for customer-reported hardware and firmware issues.
  • Collaborate with customers to develop manufacturing and screen tests to ensure reliability at scale.
  • Identify gaps in AMD offerings based on customer requirements and work with stakeholders to resolve them.
  • Create design guidelines, technical presentations, and training materials for customers.
  • Provide recommendations to improve the overall customer experience with hardware and software products.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience in customer-facing roles such as application engineering for Data Center CPUs.
  • Strong knowledge of server and data center system architecture and interfaces like DDR, PCIe, SPI/eSPI, and I3C/I2C.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical validation and signal integrity of high-speed signals.
  • System level debugging skills with hands-on experience in system bring-up, hardware debug, and performance optimizations.
  • Experience working with Enterprise Linux environments including Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL, and SLES.
  • Knowledge of server firmware/BIOS settings, boot processes, and server monitoring and management software.
  • Proficiency in Shell/BASH, C/C++, or Python is a plus.
