At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.
Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.
THE ROLE:
The Test Development organization is seeking a highly motivated engineer to help drive the next generation of DFT solutions, engineering productivity, and data-driven decision making across AMD products. This role provides a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of chip architecture, Test Development, analytics, automation, and emerging AI technologies.
You will collaborate closely with chip leads, architects, DFT engineers, Product Engineering, and Test Development teams to solve complex engineering challenges spanning pre-silicon development through silicon bring-up and product execution. In addition to shaping test strategies and architecture, you will develop innovative solutions that improve engineering workflows, visibility, and operational efficiency across the semiconductor development lifecycle.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who enjoys solving challenging technical problems and driving continuous improvement. They are equally comfortable discussing chip-level architecture, analyzing engineering data, and developing solutions that simplify complex workflows.
The successful candidate is curious, collaborative, and self-driven, with strong communication skills and the ability to work across multiple organizations. They are passionate about understanding the bigger picture, identifying opportunities for improvement, and turning ideas into practical solutions that deliver measurable impact.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Drive DFT and Test Development architecture discussions across FPGA, SoC, and chip-level environments.
- Collaborate with chip leads, architects, and engineering teams to develop end-to-end test solutions.
- Support pre-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, debug, and product execution activities.
- Develop dashboards, automation, and analytics solutions that improve engineering productivity and decision making.
- Identify opportunities to apply AI and data-driven approaches to engineering workflows and operational challenges.
- Lead cross-functional initiatives involving Design, DFT, Product Engineering, and Test Development organizations.
- Drive projects from concept through deployment, adoption, and continuous improvement.
- Contribute to technical roadmaps that improve product quality, engineering effectiveness, and organizational productivity.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Embedded C application and firmware development in FPGA and SoC environments.
- Familiarity with RTL design and verification flows using Verilog/SystemVerilog
- Ability to understand RTL implementation at Chip level and debug design issues across hardware and firmware boundaries
- Experience with pre-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, and debug flows.
- Understanding of chip-level and SoC-level architecture.
- Experience developing analytics, automation, dashboarding, or productivity solutions is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with Python, scripting, data analysis, and software development practices.
- Interest in applying AI technologies to engineering workflows, automation, and decision support.
- Experience leading cross-functional technical initiatives and collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's degree preferred in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline.
- Master's degree preferred.
- Additional coursework or certifications in software development, data analytics, AI/ML, or semiconductor design and test are desirable.
