Description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: We are looking for a High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Validation Engineer to join AMD’s Data Center GPU team in Malaysia. This role focuses on post-silicon validation of HBM interfaces and memory subsystems for next-generation AMD data center GPUs used in AI, HPC, and cloud workloads. You will work closely with architecture, design, silicon debug, firmware, and platform teams across global sites to ensure HBM performance, reliability, and robustness from first silicon through production. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: HBM Validation & Debug Develop and execute post-silicon validation plans for HBM (HBM2E / HBM3 / HBM3E) subsystems on AMD data center GPUs Validate HBM PHY, memory controller, and full memory stack behavior, including: Initialization, training, and calibration Timing, voltage, and frequency margins Power management states and transitions Perform system-level stress testing under AI, HPC, and graphics workloads Silicon Bring-Up Support Participate in first silicon bring-up, including board power-on and early HBM access Debug HBM-related silicon issues using: Memory test tools Firmware/driver instrumentation and internal debug hooks Drive root cause analysis, identify design or integration gaps, and work with design teams on fixes Automation & Tool Development Develop and maintain validation scripts and automation (Python, C/C++, shell) Enhance test coverage, regression efficiency, and debug visibility Enable reuse of validation infrastructure across GPU programs Cross-Functional Collaboration,Collaborate with: HBM PHY and controller designers GPU architecture and RTL teams Platform hardware and SI/PI teams Firmware, driver, and system software teams Provide clear debug documentation and validation sign-off reports PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 2–6 years of experience (aligned to E2 / early MTS level) in one or more of: Memory validation, silicon validation, or post-silicon debug DRAM, HBM, DDR, or high-speed interfaces Strong understanding of: Memory subsystems and SoC/GPU architectures Signal integrity and high-speed interfaces Hands-on experience with: Lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, BERT, power supplies) Linux-based validation environments Programming/scripting experience in Python, C/C++, or similar Experience with HBM2E / HBM3 / HBM3E validation or debug Exposure to high-performance GPU or accelerator platforms Understanding of: Memory training algorithms Error detection and correction (ECC, retry, RAS) Power/performance tuning Experience working with global teams across time zones Strong documentation and technical communication skills ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
