Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to drive post-silicon product characterization, volume data analysis, and reliability assessment for advanced silicon programs. In this highly technical, individual-contributor role, you will own deep analysis of high-volume silicon data, characterize IP and system behavior across operating corners, model reliability risk, and lead fault isolation and failure analysis efforts.

You will partner closely with design, DFT, manufacturing, supplier, and product teams to translate silicon data into actionable insights that influence product readiness, margin decisions, supplier engagement, and executive-level strategy.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is a deeply analytical product engineer who thrives in data-rich environments and ambiguous problem spaces. You combine strong technical judgment with the ability to clearly communicate insights and influence decisions. You are comfortable engaging across engineering disciplines, working directly with suppliers, and presenting conclusions to executive audiences.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Own analysis of large-scale, high-volume silicon and manufacturing data to assess yield, performance, quality, and parametric distributions
  • Drive IP-level and system-level silicon characterization across voltage, frequency, temperature, and stress conditions
  • Develop and apply reliability models (e.g., aging, degradation, wear-out mechanisms) to inform product decisions and risk assessments
  • Lead fault isolation and failure analysis efforts, correlating electrical, physical, and manufacturing signatures to root causes
  • Partner with supplier and foundry teams to review data, resolve issues, and negotiate technical and quality tradeoffs
  • Provide data-driven recommendations on product readiness, guardbanding, test limits, and manufacturing strategies
  • Translate complex technical findings into clear, concise communication for senior technical leaders and executive stakeholders
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, DFT, test, packaging, and product engineering teams to close data gaps and accelerate learning


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong experience with volume silicon data analysis, including yield trending, distribution analysis, correlation, and outlier isolation
  • Hands-on experience with IP characterization and silicon bring-up across multiple operating modes and environments
  • Proven background in fault isolation and failure analysis, spanning electrical debug and physical failure mechanisms
  • Experience building or applying reliability and lifetime models to silicon data
  • Demonstrated ability to influence outcomes through supplier engagement and technical negotiation
  • Strong executive-level communication skills, with experience presenting complex data-backed recommendations
  • Familiarity with advanced semiconductor process technologies, post-silicon validation flows, and high-volume manufacturing


ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
