Sr. System Software Quality Engineer
The Role
AMD’s quality engineering team is looking for an Associate QA Engineer to build, execute, and scale automated test suites for our core memory-tiering agent and central management platform. You will work closely with developers to ensure the stability of low-level Linux systems and high-performance prefetching engines. You will leverage a comprehensive test environment to practice robust test automation daily, using modern AI tools to accelerate development and focus on the core semantics of test behaviors rather than syntax. While automation is central to scaling and regression, some manual testing is also expected.
The Person
We are looking for a QA Engineer with proven experience in software testing, QA, or systems validation. The candidate will have advanced Linux knowledge and intermediate Python scripting skills, and will bring endless curiosity about how complex, low-level software and hardware systems interact. The engineer will thrive in a fast-moving, high-velocity environment, working independently while managing rapidly changing priorities.
The engineer will engage as an active team player, communicate with empathy across technical and non-technical audiences, and consistently drive to make things better, faster, and more cost-effective.
Key Responsibilities
Write, execute, and maintain automated integration and smoke tests daily using Radish/Cucumber and Python.
Design and conduct systems-level testing and benchmarking of the memory management platform under real-world workloads.
Reproduce, troubleshoot, and document field-reported issues within local testbeds.
Leverage AI coding assistants to automate boilerplate, focusing on system semantics, test design, and edge-case validation.
Produce clear technical documentation, bug reports, and testing updates.
Provide operational feedback to the CI/CD team to improve the testing environment.
Deploy ephemeral test environments on demand via Ansible on GCP or AWS.
Create new test cases using adhoc or scheduled tests to discover corner case scenarios
Requirements

Implemented process adherence in development environment
Familiarity with GitHub, Ansible, Cucumber/Radish, and Jira.
Curiosity about low-level software/hardware interaction.
Ability to work independently amid rapidly changing priorities.
Drive to make things better, faster, and more cost-effective.
Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
