Overview

In this role you will design, build, and maintain the automation platform for large-scale test execution across Linux, Windows, and hardware emulation. You enable validation, design, and tooling teams by delivering CI, execution engine, scheduling, and reporting at scale. You won’t write tests; you’ll build robust infrastructure used daily to qualify next-generation products across AMD’s markets. You’ll collaborate with cross-site teams to improve productivity and reliability, with a meaningful impact on product qualification and quality.
