TL;DR · Lead Systems Engineer, Enterprise AI Server Platform Validation

The Lead Systems Engineer, Enterprise AI Server Platform Validation joins the Compute and Enterprise AI Server team to own end-to-end server platform validation for EPYC and Instinct products. This role involves leading cross-functional execution from architecture alignment through post-silicon bring-up, debug, and customer enablement. Key responsibilities include owning validation strategy, translating customer use cases into scalable plans, defining platform configurations, and prioritizing defects for root-cause analysis. The successful candidate will manage technical risks, mentor engineers, and drive feature readiness. Required expertise includes server architecture, silicon, firmware, BIOS, and system-level interactions involving CPU, GPU, memory, and I/O. Technical skills include experience with Linux, Windows, and hypervisors such as VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V to ensure high-quality performance and validation coverage for next-generation platforms.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end platform validation strategy, execution, and delivery outcomes.
  • Translate product requirements and customer use cases into scalable validation plans.
  • Lead post-silicon bring-up, system debug, test execution, and validation milestones.
  • Define platform configurations, firmware requirements, debug tools, and validation environments.
  • Prioritize defects and lead root-cause analysis to drive mitigation and resolution plans.
  • Manage technical risks, engineering resources, platform assets, and schedule tradeoffs.
  • Communicate program status, risks, and readiness decisions to senior leadership.
  • Mentor engineers to improve validation coverage, efficiency, and product quality.

What we're looking for

  • Lead end-to-end server platform validation from architecture alignment through post-silicon bring-up, debug, and customer enablement.
  • Lead cross-functional execution and make technical tradeoffs across functionality, performance, quality, and schedule.
  • Translate product requirements and customer use cases into scalable validation plans.
  • Drive post-silicon bring-up, system debug, test execution, and validation milestones.
  • Prioritize defects, lead root-cause analysis, and drive mitigation and resolution plans.
  • Experience with Linux, Windows, and hypervisors such as VMware, KVM, or Hyper-V (preferred).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (preferred).
  • Master’s degree (preferred).
