Job Description:	WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.  AMD together we advance_ Location:  1 Commerce Valley Dr E, Thornhill, ON L3T 7X6 - ONSITE   Program Term: This role is a 16-month position from May 6, 2024 – August 29, 2025   The Role: The AMD IP Systems Engineering Team is a cutting-edge hardware-based lab-oriented team engaged on an array of leading technologies found in today’s leading Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) and discrete Graphic Processing Units (dGPUs).  Among these technologies are PCI Express (PCIe) and AMD’s proprietary High Speed Interconnect Interfaces. These interfaces are industry leading for high-speed graphics and system interconnects.  With AMD now shipping and continuing development of its latest generation designs, the IP Systems Engineering role provides an exciting opportunity to be part of tomorrow’s leading technologies - today!    The IP Systems Engineering team has the following functions: Prior to the next revision/design of silicon, the IP Systems Engineering team engages with cross-functional teams in hardware (design, architecture) and software (drivers, SBIOS/VBIOS, diagnostics, tools) to establish, document, and review the deliverables/requirements for the next bring-up/validation efforts. Bring-up. With every arrival of prototype silicon, the team is working in the lab and executing silicon unit level test coverage and validation targeting low-level silicon functionality using a variety of hardware and software-based tools. No product is born perfect, and when problems arise, the IP Systems Engineering team is the leading team of experts to provide deep, technical debug analysis and solutions to PCIe problems found in either silicon bringup or by other teams.  Extensive usage of specialized lab hardware (protocol and logic analyzers, high-speed scopes), software tools to control design parameters, and understanding of technical specifications are acquired by engineers engaged in these debug efforts.  System Engineers drive resolution of these issues across multiple hardware and software teams and develop strong relationships with engineers across multiple facets of the organization. If you are an outstanding individual with an eagerness to learn and want to make the most of your work experience, we are in a unique position to provide an experience that will supply you with what you need to succeed in the future: a combination of valuable technical skills, and the development of effective collaborative, organizational, and communication skills that are vital in today’s engineering roles. What you’ll be doing: Low-level testing of ASIC hardware features using diagnostics, software tools, protocol/logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes. Debug of features that are not working properly, including running experiments, engaging with more senior engineers and/or designers, as well as coordinating testing efforts with other teams (validation/qualification, software, production, etc.) Suggesting and driving delivery of additional tools and/or processes thatcould improve team efficiency via mechanisms like automation or reduction of redundancies. Engagement in system-level debug/triage efforts. Documentation, including status reports and generation of test plans for future silicon revisions/projects. What you’ll learn: Details of the technical implementation of an industry-leading, high-speed communication protocol/interconnect. How to solve complex communication issues on this interface using a combination of data communications theory, application of engineering principles, interpretation of technical specifications and design implementation details, and experimental techniques. How to effectively engage with other technical staff to drive towards resolution on common issues, including strong development of interpersonal skills that will serve as a strong baseline for your future career.
Job Requirements:	Key Qualifications: 3+ years of computer/electrical engineering education. Understanding and handling of basic lab hardware (scopes, multimeters, etc.)  Knowledge of fundamentals of RTL logic design (eg. FSM, gates, registers, flops, timing, HDL). Experience in data communications theories and application. Fluent with PC’s (building a PC from individual components, installing OS/drivers, basic network configuration, etc.). Strong debugging skills Excellent communication skills – written and verbal. Preferred Qualifications: Programming in common scripting languages and/or experience with linux/unix an asset. Knowledge is high speed protocols such as PCIe/USB an asset.
