Platform System Architect

What you'll do

• Define platform architecture and requirements for chipset and I/O subsystems including PCIe, USB4, and networking.
• Ensure all designs align with regulatory, environmental, energy-efficiency, and sustainability requirements.
• Lead technical evaluations, design tradeoff analyses, and validation planning throughout the product lifecycle.
• Execute bring-up and debug activities across chipset, firmware, power delivery, and thermal subsystems.
• Coordinate with silicon, firmware, and BIOS teams to ensure successful platform integration and feature delivery.
• Work with OEMs, ODMs, and board vendors to drive adoption and deployment of AMD technologies.
• Develop customer-facing design guidance and technical documentation for the ecosystem.
• Perform root-cause analysis and technical debugging using industry-standard lab equipment like oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience defining platform requirements and system-level architecture for client, workstation, or server products (preferred).
• Knowledge of chipset technologies, firmware interactions, and high-speed I/O interfaces like PCIe, USB4, and SATA (preferred).
• Experience with regulatory, environmental, and industry certification requirements (preferred).
• Extensive knowledge of system architecture, platform design, validation methodologies, and root-cause analysis (preferred).
• Understanding of power delivery architectures, platform security technologies, and manageability solutions (preferred).
• Experience with board and platform bring-up using protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal integrity tools (preferred).
• Programming or scripting skills in languages such as C/C++, Perl, Ruby, or Python (preferred).
