Responsibilities
- Develop, port, bring up, and debug UEFI BIOS and EDK II firmware for client platforms.
- Design and implement silicon initialization code focused on DDR and LPDDR memory subsystems.
- Enable platform features and improve firmware quality, performance, reliability, validation, and product readiness through launch.
- Use AMD debug tools, memory test tools, schematics, logs, and structured root-cause methods to resolve system and firmware issues.
- Contribute to automation, code review, validation, and quality-gate workflows for production firmware.
- Collaborate with firmware, silicon, architecture, validation, and partner teams while managing multiple priorities and schedules.
- Use AMD-approved AI tools to improve coding and debugging efficiency while protecting confidential information and maintaining engineering rigor.
Requirements
- Expertise in C programming for BIOS, firmware, embedded systems, or low-level system software; assembly knowledge is helpful.
- Hands-on experience with ARM architecture and silicon initialization; x86 CPU/APU architecture familiarity is a plus.
- Experience with UEFI, BIOS, EDK II, platform porting, system bring-up, and operating-system/firmware interfaces.
- Experience developing or debugging DDR, LPDDR, memory initialization, memory training, or related memory-subsystem firmware.
- Strong system-debugging skills using hardware and software debug tools, memory test tools, logs, and system schematics.
- Working knowledge of Linux development environments, compiler toolchains, source control, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience supporting client-platform firmware through feature enablement, validation, optimization, and product launch.
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline is preferred; equivalent relevant firmware-development expertise may also be considered.
