Job Summary

Direct and scale ROCm’s test engineering across the full hardware/software stack, driving AI-first validation, SDET-level discipline, and an autonomous quality organization aligned with GPU driver, runtime, and ML framework testing.

Location: Markham

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Executive & General Management

Seniority: Director level

Key Responsibilities

•Own the overall test engineering strategy and architecture for ROCm, spanning driver validation, runtime testing, compiler/toolchain quality, and ML framework integration — with test coverage designed around real customer workload patterns, not synthetic benchmarks.
•Lead, grow, and mentor a team of SDETs and test engineers, instilling SDET-level engineering discipline and a culture of automation-first quality.
•Architect and operate continuous testing/validation infrastructure: staging environments for soak testing, stress testing, failure injection, recovery validation, and long-duration reliability runs.
•Champion AI-first and agentic test engineering: drive adoption of LLM-assisted test generation, autonomous failure triage, intelligent test prioritization, and agentic CI/CD workflows.
•Hands-on prototyping of new test frameworks, validation tooling, and agentic testing pipelines — especially in early-stage or high-ambiguity situations.

Key Requirements

•12+ years of experience in software engineering or test engineering, with significant experience in hardware-adjacent or systems-level software.
•5+ years of engineering management, including building and scaling test engineering or SDET organizations.
•Deep hands-on expertise in test automation at scale — framework design, CI/CD pipeline development, and continuous validation systems.
•Demonstrated experience with hardware + software test automation, including HW bring-up, driver validation, or firmware/software co-testing.
•Strong understanding of GPU architecture or hardware/software interfaces (PCIe, memory subsystems, compute kernels, or equivalent).
