Interconnect Firmware Engineer

What you'll do

• Develop and enable firmware features for the Infinity Fabric interconnect across AMD products.
• Design, document, unit test, and debug firmware for pre- and post-silicon environments.
• Enhance Python-based tools to process complex datasets for generating hardware initialization binaries.
• Develop tools and infrastructure in Python and C/C++ to validate hardware initialization data.
• Define firmware scope and implementation details with architects and IP leads to meet delivery milestones.
• Perform unit and integration testing while providing debug support across emulation and simulation platforms.
• Participate in design and code reviews to ensure software quality, reliability, and maintainability.

What we're looking for

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with firmware development, integration, and validation for SoC designs in pre- and post-silicon environments (preferred).
• Strong proficiency in low-level C programming, including debugging and performance optimization for embedded systems (preferred).
• Proficiency in Python and Linux scripting for data parsing, automation, and processing (preferred).
• Solid understanding of computer architecture concepts such as memory interleaving, system memory maps, and NUMA domains (preferred).
• Experience with board, processor, or ASIC bring-up using simulation and/or emulation platforms (preferred).
• Familiarity with hardware/software interfaces and structured debugging at the IP, subsystem, or system level (preferred).
• Experience using source control and code review systems such as Git and Gerrit (preferred).
