Product Development Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ THE ROLE: Product Engineering is a cost, quality, and time-to-market driven team responsible for enabling the availability of microprocessors to our customers. Pre-silicon responsibilities for the Product Engineer include understanding product features and performance targeting, developing end-to-end characterization test plans, and highlighting test flow coverage holes. Post-silicon responsibilities include leading debug across disciplines (Product Engineering, Design, Platform), analysis of characterization and yield data to optimize the test flow for cost and quality, and the execution of characterization plans. The Product Engineer will be responsible for driving yield improvements through data analysis of test results, and collaborative debug with Test, Design, and Fab engineers. THE PERSON: Position includes characterization, data analysis, and yield debug of ATE and SLT manufacturing flows. Applicant should be familiar with modern microprocessor manufacturing, semi-conductor device physics, testing techniques and failure mechanisms. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Analysis of characterization and yield data across manufacturing insertions Leading debug of cross-functional issues (across Test, Design, Platform, Fab) Characterization and debug of new silicon designs and process technologies Analysis of part failures leading to test flow improvement Optimization of test flows/methodologies for improved quality and cost PREFERRED SKILLS Proficient in data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Spotfire, Python, SQL, MATLAB, Jupyter notebooks) Familiarity with ATE and wafer sort data formats (STDF, bin maps) Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills Semiconductor fabrication knowledge Semiconductor device physics knowledge Modern computer architecture knowledge ATE and SLT test methodology knowledge Detail-oriented and analytical mindset Self-driven with a proactive approach to troubleshooting and improvement Able to handle fast-paced, high-pressure production environments ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: BS/MS EE or equivalent, professional experience is preferred LOCATION: Austin, TX #LI-AJ1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
