As a Senior Firmware Validation Architect, Server Platforms, you will join the firmware validation team as a Test Architect focused on building robust, automation-ready test flows to validate firmware across boot and runtime. You will collaborate with SoC, firmware, and validation architects to define test strategies and coverage goals for EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs in data center and enterprise markets. Your daily work involves developing end-to-end tests for pre-silicon and post-silicon environments, executing tests, debugging failures, and enhancing infrastructure for better triage workflows. You will utilize C, C++, Python, Perl, or Bash to develop tools while leveraging generative AI, engineering copilots, and automation agents to accelerate the validation lifecycle. Key technical domains include BIOS/UEFI concepts, RAS features, memory subsystems, power management, platform security, virtualization, and high-speed I/O protocols like PCIe and CXL.
