Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

As a Mechanical Engineer within AMD's AECG Embedded team, you will play a key role in developing advanced thermal-mechanical solutions for next-generation SoC, CPU, and GPU products. You'll work at the intersection of design, simulation, and validation-contributing to cooling technologies, package integration, and system-level reliability. This is a highly collaborative role where you'll partner with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, manufacturable solutions.

THE PERSON:

You are a hands-on engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You bring strong analytical thinking, curiosity, and attention to detail, along with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges. You communicate effectively, take ownership of your work, and are motivated to continuously learn and innovate.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design and validate thermal solutions for SoC, CPU, and GPU products (e.g., heat sinks, vapor chambers, liquid cooling cold plates, fan modules)
  • Perform thermal-mechanical FEA simulations across package, board, and system levels to optimize stress, warpage, and reliability
  • Evaluate and integrate new materials and packaging technologies to enhance performance and product robustness
  • Support DFM/DFA activities and ensure designs meet manufacturability, cost, and quality targets
  • Conduct characterization and validation using techniques such as DIC and warpage measurement tools
  • Collaborate in cross-functional design reviews and drive issue resolution from development through production
  • Partner with suppliers to ensure scalable, high-quality manufacturing solutions
  • Develop technical documentation including specifications, reports, and analysis results


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience in mechanical product development, with exposure to semiconductor packaging or thermal cooling design
  • Proficiency in FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS) for structural and thermal analysis
  • Strong 3D CAD skills (Creo, Pro/E, SolidWorks) and understanding of GD&T and tolerance analysis
  • Familiarity with DFM/DFA principles and reliability considerations
  • Working knowledge of warpage and failure analysis techniques (e.g., DIC, Shadow Moiré, X-ray, C-SAM)


ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
