• Debug board‑level and system‑level hardware issues, including test interface hardware
• Drive test solution bring‑up, verification, and validation for GPU and data center products
• Analyze test and manufacturing data to improve yield, reduce test time, and lower overall cost
• Release cost‑effective, scalable production test solutions into mass production
• Initiate and lead on‑site debug activities with factory partners and AMD engineering teams
• Support data center and server manufacturing bring‑up, test readiness reviews, and factory training activities
• Coordinate closely with cross‑functional teams including design, verification, test engineering, and operations
• Communicate status, risks, and resolutions effectively with peers, senior engineers, and management

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Board and system‑level test engineering in manufacturing environments
• Supporting test solutions for servers, data center platforms, GPUs, or high‑performance PCs
• High‑speed digital and analog circuit debug
• PCBA fabrication processes and factory manufacturing flows
• Yield improvement and test time reduction initiatives
• Linux‑based development or debug environments
• Linux shell scripting and/or Python programming
• Experience setting up or validating workloads in hyper‑converged or server environments
• GPU, server, or desktop motherboard design or debug exposure
