Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end verification strategy for Ryzen AI software components (SDKs, runtime, drivers, firmware interfaces, compilers/toolchains, sample apps) across Windows and Linux
Manage the day-to-day activities of the verification team within an Agile/Scrum environment, driving test planning, execution, triage, and reporting
Define and implement scalable test methodologies encompassing functional, integration, system, performance, power, stability, security, and compliance testing for AI workloads
Build and evolve automated test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines, including regression suites, hardware-in-the-loop testing, emulation/FPGA prototyping where applicable, and cloud-based test infrastructure
Establish verification processes that span the full software development life cycle: requirements capture and traceability, test design, test data generation, coverage analysis, defect management, and release readiness criteria
Collaborate closely with architecture, development, QA, DevOps, and program management to align verification plans with product roadmaps, risk assessments, and quality goals
Partner with senior developers and architects to review designs, define acceptance criteria, and ensure verifiability of features and interfaces
Manage, execute, and report progress against verification plans and delivery commitments; build dashboards and metrics to proactively drive process and quality improvements
Lead root-cause analysis for complex issues across software, firmware, and hardware boundaries; drive corrective actions and prevention strategies
Hire, mentor, and develop verification engineers; foster a culture of technical excellence, automation-first, and continuous improvement
Qualification
Required
Proven leadership experience managing software verification/QA teams and delivering high-quality software releases
Deep knowledge of professional software engineering and verification practices across the full SDLC, including requirements analysis, test planning, automation, code reviews, version control, build processes, continuous integration, and release management
Hands-on experience designing and scaling automated test frameworks and pipelines (e.g., Python/C++, pytest, unit/integration/system testing, CI/CD with Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI)
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to present quality status, risks, and mitigation plans to stakeholders and executives
Experience with open-source development processes and contributing to or validating open-source components
Familiarity with AI/ML software stacks and workloads (e.g., computer vision, image/video processing, model inference, operator libraries), including correctness, performance, and numerical validation
Experience verifying software interacting with accelerators or heterogeneous compute (GPU/NPU/FPGA) and parallel runtimes (HIP, CUDA, OpenCL, or similar), or low-level drivers/firmware interfaces
Proficiency with defect tracking, test management, and observability tools; strong analytical skills for performance, reliability, and power characterization
Preferred
Advanced degrees (M.Sc., M.Eng., Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
Experience with model formats and runtimes (e.g., ONNX, common inference runtimes), compiler/graph optimization validation, and numerical accuracy testing
Background in system-level or SoC verification, emulation, or hardware bring-up; familiarity with Windows driver validation (HLK) and Linux kernel/user-space testing
Security and compliance testing experience (fuzzing, hardening, privacy, safety standards)
Experience scaling distributed test infrastructure and large regression farms
