PCIe, CXL and Highspeed IO Validation Engineer

Job Title

PCIe, CXL and Highspeed IO Validation Engineer

Role Summary

Principal-level post-silicon validation engineer focused on high-speed IO (PCIe, CXL), multi-socket and inter-die interfaces for AMD server products. The role drives validation strategy, develops test content and infrastructure, and performs system- and SoC-level debug to improve product quality.

Experience Level

Senior / Principal level.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing validation activities, building infrastructure, and resolving hardware/software issues across SoC and system levels.

• Develop and execute feature enablement and validation test plans for SoC- and system-level features across AMD Server products for High-Speed IO.
• Create test content for focused verification and system-level stress testing, including cross-product stress tests.
• Develop post-silicon validation infrastructure: software, hardware, automation environments, and lab setups.
• Test interactions between SoC features using validation infrastructure and drive root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop tools and improve validation and debug capabilities.
• Improve post-silicon validation strategy, methodology, and processes.
• Participate in silicon bring-up, sequencing, delivery, and platform-level optimization.

Requirements

Core technical skills and attributes required for success in this role.

• Hands-on experience in SoC design or validation of high-speed IO interfaces.
• Experience with PCIe Gen5/6+, CXL, UCIe, proprietary inter-die or multi-socket server interfaces (electrical or functional).
• Proven experience developing validation methodologies, test plans, workloads, and infrastructure.
• Strong SoC- and system-level debug skills and experience with silicon bring-up and root-cause analysis.
• Proficiency with programming/scripting (C/C++, Python, Perl, or similar) and working knowledge of Server OSes (Linux, Windows).
• Extensive experience with lab equipment and board/platform-level debug (protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, delivery and sequencing).
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective verbal/written communication in English.
• Self-starting team player able to work with minimal guidance and manage multiple concurrent projects.
• Forward thinker who drives process and architecture improvements.
• This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Education Requirements

BSEE, CSE, or CS with 7+ years of experience; or MSEE, CSE, or MS/MA in CS with 5+ years of experience (academic credentials as listed by employer).
