About Us

We understand the features that go into the HW design, and we have the software skills to program them to life.

Once developed these diagnostics are used in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon validation through the production life of the product.

Daily work involves code development, debug, and emulation for HW feature validation. You will be asked to root cause and solve HW and SW problems.

You have an important role in ensuring robust diagnostics quality and feature coverage with opportunities to learn about HW features and SW/HW debugging.

You will be asked to work across multiple hardware blocks, on different ASICs, and collaborate with teams across the company.

What you'll be doing

Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

The design and verification of diagnostics tests that are used in ASIC Qualification and production test suites for both internal and external customers
Identifying and troubleshooting HW and SW problems
Analyzing fall out boards Identify opportunities to improve test time and effectiveness of tests
Support and resolve customer issues, including investigation and debugging of diagnostics source code
Assist in ASIC bringup and support activities
Development and debug of automation tools/scripts to assist with the above

What you'll learn

You will learn how to make the hardware scream with software_
Software and Hardware Knowledge
Knowledge and experience of modern software development in a real engineering environment

About the Display IP
DCN (Display Controller Next)

The component drives display on DisplayPort and HDMI monitors, and also produces the frame content to memory for remote sharing. It empowers the features which Windows users and game fans are familiar with, e.g., FreeSync, Eyefinity, surface blending, scaling, audio, DP2.1, HDMI2.1, etc. In this team, you will know how these fancy features are enabled with AMD products.
