AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

Join a global product reliability team that drives silicon and package qualifications to develop the next generation artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities within a single package, leveraging advanced silicon and packaging technologies. This position is a highly visible role within the AMD engineering team and is responsible for defining and executing reliability qualifications for new products to align with AMD product and customer requirements. The engineer will possess technical authority in a fast paced, dynamic environment that requires decision making at strategic and tactical levels. The position provides influence that mandates strong analytical and technical skills. This role works closely with AMD engineering teams and communicates regularly with foundries and customers to determine the reliability requirements of current and future products.

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate is a collaborative and self-driven team player who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. They demonstrate strong communication skills, especially in cross-functional and cross-cultural settings, and are comfortable engaging with internal teams, external partners, and customers. The role requires someone with excellent analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a strategic mindset to make informed decisions. Adaptability, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential, along with the ability to lead initiatives, influence outcomes, and build consensus across diverse stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Starting at early product development stages, establish comprehensive silicon and package qualification plans for early reliability assessment studies and final product qualification.
• Take on leadership of planning and execution of reliability activities throughout development, qualification, production-ramp and sustaining.
• Communicate with offshore factories and reliability labs during reliability qualification.
• Coordinate debug and analysis of reliability observations, drive root cause and corrective actions working in collaboration with engineering teams, foundry partners, OSAT partners, bumping facilities, and substrate manufacturers.
• Perform reliability modeling estimations across varying usage and operating life conditions; model product lifetime conditions using Weibull Modeling.
• Work with Foundry partners to align AMD product qualification requirements to ensure the foundry technology reliability envelope aligns with AMD design and IP portfolio.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Familiarity with JEDEC and AEC stress methodologies for silicon and package reliability qualification.
• Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes (FEoL, BEoL) and device physics.
• Experience with advanced packaging technologies including 2.5D, 3D stacking, VCache, InFO, CoWoS, SoIC, WLFO, and chiplet integration.
• Understanding of bumping processes (C4, ubump) and OSAT assembly workflows.
• Expertise in intrinsic/extrinsic reliability mechanisms, acceleration models, and JEDEC qualification methods (ELFR, HTOL, Electrical Parameter Assessment).
• Proficiency in thermomechanical reliability testing (TC, HTS, HTSL, HAST).
• Skilled in statistical analysis and reliability modeling to estimate product lifetimes and degradation.
• Ability to define burn-in conditions and production guardbands.
• Familiarity with silicon failure analysis techniques.
• Experience with high-bandwidth memory (HBM); knowledge of silicon photonics reliability is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• BS/MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or equivalent.
