SOFTWARE SYSTEM DESIGNER 2
The Role
If you're passionate about experimenting with the latest and greatest technologies through beta-testing software, drivers, or operating systems, this is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor and be part of the growing AMD Graphics Software QA team delivering new technologies to production.
This is an exciting opportunity where you will be exposed to all the latest technologies in the computer graphics industry including desktop and mobile segments. You will get hands-on with latest graphics technologies, prototype hardware, and AI/ML developments, and have an opportunity to drive improvements to overall software quality and operational efficiency.
The successful candidate would be comfortable setting up and interacting with Windows and Linux to report on the results of automated and manual testing. Identifying opportunities for and automating tests will be a key area of growth moving forward.
You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team with a strong focus on the quality of new software features and new operating systems support for our graphics driver releases. We are looking for someone who is passionate about the PC and gaming industry, software quality, automation and problem solving, and has a relentless focus on customer satisfaction.
The Person

The ideal candidate will have prior experience in software, gaming, testing, automation, or a related field. The right individual must work well with others, be a great communicator, and understand the functions of the different disciplines on a QA team. Familiarity with the architecture of a PC, and an expert in building PC systems and troubleshooting issues is a must.
The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who can think outside the box to break software and have the drive to work with the development team to get the bugs resolved for production.
