Location: Hyderabad
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Data Science & Machine Learning
Seniority: Manager level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own the end-to-end validation architecture for ROCm — unit, integration, framework, workload, performance, stress, stability, scale-out, and system-level test layers — across multiple GPU generations and server platforms
  • •Define release-qualification gates and exit criteria for ROCm software releases (functional coverage, performance regressions, stability hours, scale targets, RAS criteria) and drive the org to meet them
  • •Lead system-level testing for server nodes — multi-GPU topologies, PCIe/Infinity Fabric/xGMI, BMC/IPMI, thermal/power, firmware interactions, and multi-node fabric bring-up and validation
  • •Drive compute workload validation and characterization — LLM training and inference (PyTorch, vLLM, Triton, JAX), recommender systems, scientific HPC kernels, MLPerf-class benchmarks
  • •Architect the test infrastructure — distributed test runners, GitHub Actions/Jenkins/internal CI fleets, hardware lab orchestration, result data lakes, flaky-test detection, bisection automation, and self-service developer pre-submit pipelines

Key Requirements

  • •12+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong validation, SDET, or quality-engineering focus, including 5+ years in a senior IC role (Staff/Principal/PMTS or equivalent) leading validation of complex systems software
  • •BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent demonstrated experience)
  • •Expert-level Python for test automation and infrastructure; strong C++ for debugging and extending production code paths under test
  • •Deep, demonstrable validation experience in at least two of GPU compute software stacks (ROCm, CUDA, oneAPI, SYCL), deep-learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Triton, vLLM), HPC runtimes (MPI, RCCL/NCCL, UCX), Linux kernel/driver/firmware, or distributed systems
  • •Experience shipping release qualification programs for software used by hyperscalers/OEMs
