Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and develop embedded firmware for high-speed SerDes systems across electrical and optical domains. Implement control for silicon photonic components and develop calibration and optimization algorithms for next-generation interfaces.
Requires a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with expert-level experience in producing quality firmware. Knowledge of PCIe and IEEE 802.3 physical layer specifications is preferred.
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.
At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.
AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.
THE ROLE:
AMD SerDes Technology team is seeking a SerDes Firmware Engineer with a strong passion for low-level firmware and a solid understanding of both electrical and optical physical-layer systems. In this role, you will design and develop firmware that bridges high-speed electrical SerDes, silicon photonics, and optical subsystems. You will work closely with firmware engineers, hardware designers, system architects, and validation teams to enable robust control, calibration, and optimization of next‑generation SerDes solutions integrating advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and high‑performance electrical interfaces.
THE PERSON:
You are a firmware engineer with strong system intuition and a hands-on mindset, equally comfortable working close to hardware and collaborating across disciplines. You are a self‑motivated problem solver who thrives in fast‑paced, technically challenging environments and enjoys bringing up complex mixed‑signal systems. You communicate clearly across firmware, electrical, and optical domains, and you take pride in writing high‑quality, maintainable firmware that enables silicon at scale.
