Description

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: We are the Central Engineering team providing test solutions for Enterprise New Product Introduction (NPI) under the Product Engineering Organization. We do exciting product development for leading-edge technology that will power the next generation processors used for high performance computing, data centers, and enterprise servers. As a Senior Product Development Engineer, you will provide technical leadership in silicon bring‑up, characterization, product definition, and yield optimization for AMD’s next‑generation products. You will mentor junior engineers, drive cross‑functional problem‑solving, and influence product strategy through data‑driven insights and deep technical ownership. This role spans device characterization, yield analysis, test content optimization, and product definition to ensure robust ramp‑to‑production and world‑class quality. THE PERSON: We’re looking for an engineer with strong technical depth and a passion for driving solutions across complex problems. Someone who not only learns continuously but also actively shares expertise and elevates the capabilities of the broader team. The ideal candidate brings a data‑driven mindset, approaches ambiguity with confidence, and consistently turns analysis into clear direction and action. The engineer should be an effective communicator — able to influence partners across global teams, articulate technical insights, and drive alignment among diverse stakeholders. We value someone who is proactive, highly collaborative, and comfortable leading discussions, mentoring junior engineers, and contributing to a culture of excellence. This person thrives in fast‑paced NPI environments, takes ownership of outcomes, and plays a key role in enabling overall team and product success. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Silicon Characterization & Debug: Lead the development and execution of comprehensive characterization plans across PVT corners. Analyze complex electrical behaviors, parametric shifts, system sensitivities, and failure signatures. Drive root‑cause investigations and collaborate with design, test, and diagnostics teams to close issues. Yield Engineering: Own yield learning for early silicon; identify systemic issues, propose fixes, and validate improvements. Track and interpret yield trends across defectivity, structural, and parametric components. Guide test content owners on pattern health, coverage gaps, and debug prioritization. Product Definition: Define or refine OPNs, fuse maps, binning schemes, performance/power guard‑bands, and speed‑bin rules. Align product definition with business goals, technical feasibility, and manufacturing capability. Partner with cross‑functional teams to ensure final definitions translate to robust distribution and yield targets. Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Mentor PDE1/PDE2 engineers in debug, data analysis, and test methodologies. Provide technical guidance across multiple feature domains or product lines. Drive clear communication in line with product milestone reviews. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Extensive silicon bring‑up experience, including leading debug for complex electrical issues and multi‑domain interactions. Proven yield analysis expertise, with ability to identify patterns, systematics, and root causes in early ramp phases. Experience owning or contributing to product binning, OPN strategy, guard‑band tuning, or power/performance correlation. Strong background in data automation, statistical modeling, or production analytics pipelines. Experience optimizing or architecting test flows, debug infrastructure, or test content strategies. Cross‑functional leadership experience in working with design, test development, diagnostics, foundry, reliability, or device analysis teams. Track record of driving improvements in test time, yield, coverage, or debug efficiency through innovation or process enhancements. Ability to act as a technical mentor, guiding junior engineers in analysis, methodology, and best practices. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: BS/MS Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or comparable disciplines Prior experience in Product Engineering, Test Engineering, or similar semiconductor roles.
