GPU RAS Architect

The Role:

We are looking for a talented and experienced RAS Architect (Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability) to join our team. As the RAS Architect, you will be responsible for designing and implementing robust systems, ensuring high levels of reliability, availability, and serviceability. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, system architects, and software developers, to create designs that meet stringent reliability requirements and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Are you ready to change the next generation of computing? Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.

In this role, you will be required to:

• Design and develop server -level RAS architectures for AMD's Data Center products. Define and analyze server-level reliability, availability, and serviceability requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards and customer expectations. RAS solutions will be deployed in scale-out environments.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to identify potential points of failure, conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and propose mitigation strategies. Develop fault detection, isolation, and recovery mechanisms to ensure system resilience and minimize downtime.
• Design redundancy and fault-tolerant mechanisms, including redundant components, and error correction codes (ECC), to maximize system availability. Define and implement advanced diagnostics and monitoring capabilities to enable proactive system health management and predictive maintenance.
• Evaluate and select appropriate technologies and components to optimize reliability, availability, and serviceability, considering factors such as mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), and total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Collaborate with vendors and suppliers to assess and integrate their RAS-related solutions into the overall system architecture. Conduct system-level simulations, analysis, and testing to validate and verify the effectiveness of the RAS architecture and its components.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in RAS techniques, fault tolerance mechanisms, and industry trends to guide future system designs.
• Contribute to all phases of product development, from product definition and architecture and design, through implementation, debugging, testing and early customer support.

Key Responsibilities:

• 10+ years of experience
• Strong programming in C/C++ in Linux operating environment, strong understanding of Linux kernel internals, strong code review skills.
• Strong expertise in system-level architecture design, reliability engineering, and fault tolerance mechanisms, optimizing RAS architectures for complex computing systems, data centers, or mission-critical applications.
• Experience with fault-tolerant design principles and techniques, including redundancy, error correction codes (ECC), and error recovery mechanisms.
• Proficiency in system-level simulation tools and methodologies (e.g., fault injection, reliability block diagrams, failure rate analysis).
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to analyze complex system-level issues.
• Possess excellent written and oral communication skills, good work ethics, high sense of team-work, love to produce quality work and commitment to finish your tasks every single day.
• You are a self-starter who loves to find creative solutions to complicated problems.

Preferred qualifications:

• BS, MS, or PhD in EE/CS or related field of education or equivalent experience
• PMP certificate
• Prior ASIC project management experience
