Role Summary
Develop, maintain, and evolve
test content
and
validation frameworks
for AMD's large-scale GPU platforms. Evangelize best practices and guidance for a broad contributor community spanning software, firmware, and hardware teams. Enable
scalable automation
across on‑prem and cloud/Kubernetes environments, and apply
AI/ML
to improve coverage, reduce flakiness, accelerate triage, and increase validation efficiency.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain reusable test frameworks, libraries, and templates used across multiple GPU product lines.
• Establish and maintain governance, standards, and guidance for test content structure, metadata/traceability, coding style, and reviews.
• Author and maintain high‑quality test content; perform code reviews and mentoring to raise bar across the contributor community.
• Build and operate CI/CD workflows, containerized runners, and artifact/result management; scale automation on on‑prem test farms and cloud/Kubernetes.
• Evangelize best practices via documentation, playbooks, examples, trainings, and office hours to drive adoption and consistency.
• Apply AI/ML to validation: log classification, failure clustering, intelligent test selection/prioritization, anomaly detection, and safe test‑case generation; evaluate models/datasets and integrate responsibly.
• Improve observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and define SLIs/SLOs for validation platforms; drive down flake rate and runtime.
• Partner with platform, firmware/BIOS, compiler, and driver teams to align validation content with roadmaps and release criteria.
• Maintain clear documentation and change management for frameworks and standards.

Minimum Qualifications (Required)

• BS in Computer Engineering or Computer Science (or related field); MS a plus.
• Strong background in software/hardware testing and automation with broad knowledge of validation methodologies.
• Demonstrated experience delivering and maintaining validation frameworks/solutions adopted by multiple teams.
• Proficiency in Python and Bash; ability to read and review C/C++ test/driver code.
• Comfortable using Linux and Windows via command line/shell for development and automation.
• Experience deploying scalable automation in hybrid environments (on‑prem and cloud/Kubernetes); CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions).
• Hands‑on with Git and Docker; strong debugging and scripting skills.
• Solid understanding of computer architecture (CPU, GPU, memory, I/O, power).
• Knowledge of firmware/BIOS and low‑level software interactions relevant to GPU/system validation.
• Applied AI/ML experience in testing/validation (e.g., failure clustering, log analysis, test selection, anomaly detection).
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and influence skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years in test automation, validation engineering, or systems/solutions engineering for complex HW/SW products.
• Experience operating datacenter‑scale validation or cloud‑based test platforms (elastic/queued runners, multi‑tenant).
• Kubernetes expertise (Helm, autoscaling, operators) and container registries.
• Infrastructure as Code (Any: Terraform/Ansible/Packer/MAAS); virtualization (KVM, LXD).
• Observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry); results warehousing (SQL/NoSQL).
• Familiarity with ML tooling (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn) and MLOps practices (data pipelines, model evaluation, experiment tracking such as MLflow).
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and networking concepts applicable to test farms.
