THE ROLE:
The Datacenter Hardware Lab Team is seeking a highly motivated Hardware Design Verification Engineering Intern/Co-op to support the testing, validation, and debugging of AMD’s next-generation AI, Machine Learning, and High-Performance Computing products. In this role, you will gain hands-on experience working with GPU and CPU platforms, system-level hardware and software, validation tools, and emerging technologies prior to mass production. You will collaborate with experienced engineers across multiple teams to build test environments, execute validation, troubleshoot technical issues, and contribute to improvements in AMD’s validation capabilities.
THE PERSON:
You are a curious and hands-on engineering student who enjoys solving complex hardware and software problems. You are comfortable working in a lab environment, learning new technologies, and collaborating across engineering teams. You have strong analytical and debugging skills and are interested in gaining practical experience with system-level testing, hardware bring-up, validation, and automation.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Support the development and execution of verification and validation test plans, test cases, and models.
- Build test platforms and perform system-level hardware and software testing.
- Support system bring-up, validation, debugging, and production-related activities for GPU and CPU platforms.
- Perform low-level testing of hardware and software features, troubleshoot technical issues, and assist with root-cause analysis.
- Develop and maintain scripts and automation tools using Python, Perl, Shell, or similar languages to support validation and compute resource management.
- Support regression testing and help improve test flows, tools, methodologies, and overall validation efficiency.
- Debug and improve test cases, models, and Verilog/SystemVerilog code as applicable.
- Work with cross-functional engineering teams to track test execution and ensure features are validated and optimized on schedule.
- Support production validation of integrated hardware and software functionality to help ensure product readiness.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Programming and scripting experience with C, C++, Python, Perl, Shell, Ruby, or similar languages.
- Exposure to Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, or other hardware verification methodologies.
- Understanding of digital systems, computer architecture, computer organization, and system-level hardware/software design.
- Knowledge of logic design fundamentals, including FSMs, gates, registers, flip-flops, timing, and HDL.
- Experience building or configuring computer systems, including operating systems, drivers, graphics cards, and basic networking.
- Familiarity with CPU, APU, and/or GPU architectures and platforms.
- Experience developing or debugging in Linux, Unix, and/or Windows environments.
- Experience with board- or platform-level bring-up, validation, debugging, power sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
- Familiarity with common lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, voltmeters, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
- Understanding of hardware/software interaction, validation methodologies, system architecture, and root-cause debugging.
- Knowledge of analog and digital transistor device behavior is a plus.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in system/electrical or computer engineering
