AMD is a company dedicated to building innovative products that enhance next-generation computing experiences. They are looking for a Software Development Engineer to develop communication libraries for high-performance computing and machine learning workloads, working in a dynamic, agile team environment.
Support AMD’s RCCL, an open source, GPU-accelerated communication collective middleware and related technologies
Design, implement, and test algorithms for multi-GPU and multi-node communication libraries
Benchmark, profile and optimize code to maximize throughput on single-GPU, multi-GPU and clustered systems
Deliver high-quality code and documentation following best practices for open source software development
Work with key technical experts across AMD and with our partners and customers to improve ROCm applications, libraries, and tools
Test Automation Development: Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites using Google Test (gtest) for an open-source, C++-based library
CI/CD Integration: Integrate test automation frameworks into the Jenkins pipeline, ensuring seamless execution of tests and rapid feedback for developers
Performance Testing: Conduct performance testing to ensure the library meets necessary performance benchmarks and can scale as needed. Investigate performance regressions, and help establish baseline performance tests
Bug Detection & Reporting: Identify, isolate, and report defects found during testing and work with developers to prioritize and resolve issues
Continuous Improvement: Continuously improve the test infrastructure and methodologies, proposing tools or techniques that can improve the testability of the codebase
Collaboration & Documentation: Work with cross-functional teams, document test results, and assist in creating user-friendly reports that communicate the quality status of the project
Test Planning: Collaborate with developers and product teams to define test strategies, test cases, and acceptance criteria for new features and enhancements in the library
Code Coverage: Develop and analyze solutions, identify gaps, and drive improvements in both test coverage and quality
