AMD’s embedded business unit is looking for a senior technical talent for the exciting role of systems engineering within the embedded engineering organization. This individual contributor, hands-on, technical role requires working closely with Tier-1 customers and other customer engineering team members in tackling complex system-level problems which cannot be categorized into black-and-white domains, including hardware, platform and software. This role involves collaborating with different SMEs internally, as well as different domain specialists in customers’ engineering teams. The ideal person should be proficient in going down into the details and rolling-up your sleeves to debugging the problem. The position will primarily be for the storage market segment customers, which is one of the big areas targeted for significant business growth.
The person:
Are you adaptable and passionate about learning new technologies? This role is not for people who can work only in one technical domain. Instead, we want someone who can take-up challenges in new technical domain, learn on the run, and get the right solutioning done!
Role & Responsibilities:
- Hands-on work on a variety of different technical items coming from customer program execution and their product development. These can span from silicon to platform to firmware to BIOS to software to other aspects of the complete solution. These technical items will also vary in technical complexity and be Q&A to solution architecting to complex problem debug to custom development to training to regular applications engineering to perf-benchmarking, etc.
- Drive and enable the technical evaluation and engineering work for enabling and influencing critical design win decision to AMD.
- Understand the overall end-customer product / application-use-case, and break it down into different solution components (silicon, platform, BIOS, firmware, software, libraries etc.).
- Able to understand the current product-POR/solution-stack and analyze the gaps on what customer needs. Solution those gaps working internally with other domain architects defining clear requirements.
