WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE The Program Manager is responsible for driving planning, execution, and delivery of diagnostic, debug, validation, and enablement software across complex silicon programs. This role works closely with cross-functional engineering teams to define requirements, build executable schedules, manage dependencies, track risks, and ensure high-quality delivery against aggressive program milestones. This position sits at the intersection of software, silicon, platform, product engineering, validation, and customer execution. The Program Manager - Diagnostics will coordinate globally distributed teams, manage program readiness, support customer-facing debug activities, and help ensure diagnostics deliverables are available on time to support silicon bring-up, validation, production readiness, and customer enablement. The ideal candidate is a proactive and collaborative program leader who can operate effectively in fast-paced environments, drive clarity through ambiguity, and help technical teams stay aligned on priorities, risks, blockers, and deliverables. THE PERSON You are a highly motivated and adaptable program manager with strong ownership, communication, and execution skills. You are comfortable working with engineering teams across multiple functions, geographies, and time zones. You can quickly understand technical issues at the right level of depth, translate them into clear program actions, and drive teams toward closure. You are able to manage multiple priorities, identify risks early, escalate appropriately, and maintain strong execution discipline. You build trust with engineering leads, program stakeholders, and customers by communicating clearly, staying organized, and following through on commitments. You are not expected to be the technical expert in every area, but you are expected to ask the right questions, bring the right people together, and ensure that issues, owners, dependencies, and timelines are clearly understood. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Drive end-to-end program execution for diagnostics software deliverables across silicon programs. Partner with diagnostics engineering teams, design teams, platform teams, product engineering, validation teams, and customer-facing teams to define requirements and delivery scope. Translate technical requirements, roadmap assumptions, and customer needs into executable program plans and schedules. Track deliverables, milestones, dependencies, risks, and blockers across multiple teams and geographies. Drive alignment across functional teams to ensure diagnostics readiness for silicon bring-up, validation, production, and customer enablement. Coordinate diagnostic software releases, customer deliverables, test readiness, and execution status as needed. Manage customer-driven requests and changing priorities while protecting committed program milestones. Provide clear and concise status updates to technical leadership, program stakeholders, and cross-functional teams. Lead risk identification and mitigation planning, including dependency tracking and escalation management. Facilitate issue triage and cross-team debug coordination when program execution is blocked. Drive accountability for action items, owners, and closure timelines. Support program budgeting, device planning, resource tracking, and operational planning as required. Continuously improve execution processes, communication mechanisms, and program tracking efficiency. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience in software program management, engineering program management, or technical project management. Experience working in semiconductor, silicon validation, embedded software, diagnostics, platform enablement, hardware OEM/ODM, or related technical domains. Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, release management, validation flow, or Agile execution models. Proven ability to manage complex cross-functional programs across multiple organizations and time zones. Experience coordinating with engineering leads, product teams, platform teams, validation teams, and customer-facing teams. Ability to understand technical discussions and translate them into program risks, actions, owners, and schedules. Strong communication skills, including the ability to present status, risks, and recommendations to leadership. Demonstrated ability to work through ambiguity, prioritize effectively, and drive closure under aggressive timelines. Experience supporting silicon bring-up, customer escalations, release readiness, or critical debug efforts is a plus. PMP, Scrum, or similar program/project management certification is a plus. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree preferred in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent industry experience will also be considered. LOCATION: Shanghai #LI-VC1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
