Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing

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. Test Engineering is a results-oriented team focused on cost, quality, and time-to-market to ensure microprocessors are delivered efficiently to customers. Pre-silicon responsibilities include comprehending product features, crafting characterization test plans, identifying gaps in test coverage, and developing both software and hardware infrastructures necessary for plan execution. This role demands close collaboration with Design and Platform Engineering teams and offers opportunities to provide feedback for future test enhancements. Post-silicon duties involve microprocessor debugging, analysis, and execution of characterization plans, addressing silicon performance, yield, manufacturing processes, and device marginalities. The Test Engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify root causes from debug and margin analysis activities and contribute datasheet specifications while driving continuous improvements in yield. Key duties include development and debug of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) test patterns and flows, ensuring device testability and manufacturability from development through production phases and implementation of product improvement measures to reduce cost, increase yield, and resolve quality issues.
