Lab Engineer

About the Position

We are seeking a Lab Engineer with 3+ years of experience in hardware validation engineering to join our team in Gdansk, Poland.

Project Description

AMD is building a hardware-assisted security platform that uses silicon-level Performance Monitoring Counters (PMCs) and on-chip machine learning to detect advanced endpoint threats (ransomware, fileless malware, cryptojacking) at the processor layer, below OS-based evasion. The platform collects CPU behavioral telemetry, classifies it via an ML inference engine, and exposes threat signals to security-software partners through a standardized API. The team covers the full stack: silicon telemetry, ML training/validation, real-time inference, lab qualification, and CI/CD.

Responsibilities

• Configure and maintain physical AMD PRO lab systems and isolated VM environments used for security validation.
• Develop automated test harnesses that safely execute malware samples and capture CPU telemetry (PMC events, instruction-based sampling traces, instruction mix).
• Instrument lab systems to collect and validate hardware performance counter data against known threat behavioral signatures.
• Provide labeled telemetry datasets to the ML engineering team.
• Execute functional and performance qualification tests for the kernel-mode PMU driver across multiple AMD platform generations.
• Document lab procedures, test specifications, hardware configurations, and asset lifecycle records.
• Support security-software partner lab engagements.
• Report hardware anomalies, driver defects, and telemetry accuracy issues with clear reproduction steps.

Requirements

Must Have

• 3+ years of hands-on lab or hardware validation engineering experience. Working knowledge of CPU microarchitecture: branch prediction, cache hierarchy, instruction pipelines.
• Experience with hardware performance monitoring tools (e.g., perf, platform profilers, or equivalent).
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting language for test automation. Experience with virtualization platforms for secure, isolated test environments.
• Familiarity with Windows and/or Linux system internals at the kernel level.

Nice to Have

• Experience with endpoint security tools, EDR platforms, or malware analysis sandboxes.
• Familiarity with AMD profiling tools or AMD processor architecture. Exposure to kernel driver development (Windows Driver Kit or Linux kernel modules).
• Awareness of common attack categories and threat classification frameworks.

Languages

• English: B2 Upper Intermediate
