  • Partner with engineering, architecture, product, and operations teams to define plans, schedules, milestones, and deliverables across multiple programs.
  • Drive validation activities through development lifecycle phases, tracking quality metrics, coverage, readiness, risks, and execution status.
  • Coordinate incident management, root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and recovery efforts during validation and deployment activities.
  • Develop executive-level dashboards, metrics, presentations, and status reports that communicate program health, risks, and progress.
  • Promote adoption of AI-enabled productivity tools to improve reporting, knowledge management, workflow automation, and overall program efficiency.
  • Within the first 90 days, build strong cross-functional relationships, gain an understanding of AMD's AI infrastructure ecosystem, and begin contributing to active validation and debug programs.
  • Within six months, independently lead program initiatives, drive execution plans, manage risks, and influence key technical and operational decisions.
  • Long term, become a trusted leader within the organization, helping shape validation strategies, improve operational processes, and accelerate readiness for future AI platform deployments.


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Technical Program Management experience supporting complex hardware, system, infrastructure, or platform development programs.
  • Experience with AI infrastructure, data center technologies, GPU-based platforms, rack-scale systems, or cluster environments.
  • Understanding of rack-level and cluster-level validation, testing, quality assurance, or platform readiness activities.
  • Experience managing program execution across EVT, DVT, PVT, or similar product development and validation phases.
  • Exposure to system-level debug, incident management, issue resolution, and root-cause investigation processes.
  • Ability to develop executive dashboards, metrics, status reporting, and data-driven decision-making frameworks.
  • Experience working with cross-functional engineering teams in fast-paced technical environments.
  • Strong knowledge of Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Office Suite, and related project management tools.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot, Agentic AI tools, workflow automation solutions, or AI-assisted productivity platforms.
  • Experience driving process improvements, operational excellence initiatives, or organization-wide efficiency programs.
  • Strong presentation, communication, stakeholder management, and matrix leadership skills.


ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelor's or master's degree preferred in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Information Systems, Engineering Management, or a related technical field.
  • PMP, Scrum Master, Agile, or related project/program management certifications desired.
