ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we're looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don't shy away from humanity's challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you're designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward.

The Role :

This is a lead engineering position responsible for developing and building methodology for DFT (Design for Test) on AMD's Instinct Accelerator solutions. This position includes test planning, pattern conversion, characterization/debug and data analysis. In this role you will be interacting with Design and Platform Engineering and allows for test enhancement feedback for future designs. In this key role, you will be responsible for the development and implementation of structural tests starting with EVT(engineering validation test) builds to find SMT (surface mount testing), PCB, and component issues. You will work closely with PCB designers, tester vendors, fixture houses and CMs to enable the process.

The Person:

Responsibilities :

• Drive structural test coverage simulation and analysis from AOI, AXI, to ICT
• Optimize the structural test plan to find SMT, PCB, and component issues earlier.
• Develop test strategy for new product features including identification, specification, design and qualification of test fixtures, test equipment and diagnostic software.
• Review and provide feedback for DFT in the early design stages.
• Debug complex hardware and software issues during build phases.
• Contribute to automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure.
• Support the development of test content and solutions in Python.
• Investigate and introduce new manufacturing test technology and methodology to improve production efficiency.
• Define ICT (integrated circuit technology) capability, HW design requirements, and board debug capabilities from design review phase, NPI bring-up to mass production phase.
• Coordinate test fixtures/platform automation with suppliers, CMs, and global team.
• Work with board designers, layout engineers, tester vendors, and fixture houses by providing detailed DFM (design for manufacturing) and guidance to meet ICT requirements.
• Contribute to our automated validation infrastructure.
• May provide technical supervision or mentoring junior engineers.
• Influences others as a technical leader.
• Develop and maintain effective working relationship with other departments.

Preferred Experience :

• Experience with a scripting language (Perl, Ruby, shell script, or similar).
• Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments
• Solid Knowledge of IPMI, PCIE, BMC, and Thermal Solutions.
• Knowledge of at-speed testing, test insertion and test coverage assessment, test pattern development, fault simulation, debug, verification, designing and conducting experiments/tool evaluations.
• Ability to build and deploy generic DFT flows
• Familiarity with IEEE standards such as 1500, 1149.1, 1687 and 1838
• Experience in ICT development capability, HW design understanding, board debug capabilities. and structured test understanding.
• Experience in ICT fixture/tester setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Good knowledge of board manufacturing flow, PCB/fixture design, proven program management capability, experience and results.
• Debug experience in hardware, software, device, and/or manufacturing domains.
• Experience in XP, AGILE, Scrum, or Kanban as Scrum Master or Product Owner.
• Experience with revision control (GIT, SVN, CVS, RCS or similar).
• Experience with C++, Java, C, or C#.
• Familiar with JTAG IEEE 1149.1 specifications

Education :

BS Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (MS preferred)
