To accomplish this, you will need to interact frequently with key engineering teams such as silicon design, boarding engineering, SI/PI engineering, system validation, device failure analysis and supply chain/manufacturing leaders within AMD, industry consortiums, our customer teams, and strategic ODM and joint development partners.

THE PERSON:

PCB Manufacturing Engineers are responsible for ensuring best-in-class performance and reliability of cutting-edge PCB designs. The suitable candidate will require a strong background in high performance electronics hardware, technical expertise in PCB assembly reliability test/failure analyses, and understanding of complex PCB fabrication processes. Effective communication skills, a collaborative mindset, detail-orientation, innovative critical problem solving/ troubleshooting, and organized data collection are critical qualities for success in this role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design high performance PCB stack and interconnect solutions to enable AMD's next generation of Datacenter GPU Platforms
• Own manufacturing process qualification & adoption of PCB process technologies addressing product thermal-mechanical, and SI/PI-related performance specifications
• Identify and investigate novel PCB fabrication process techniques to evaluate alignment of these technologies to AMD's DCGPU Platform roadmap
• Collaborate with silicon design engineering, board engineering, power engineering and other cross-functional teams to support PCB solutions from package to system level
• Contribute to the overall product cycle from conceptualization through mass production
• Drive process improvements while executing fast time-to-market product delivery
• Work effectively in a dynamic and fast-paced product development environment

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

The selected candidate will use their proven technical skills to ensure engineering teams continually innovate and use ‘best known methods/practices', thereby adding value for customers.

• Strong background in high-speed PCB design, robust strategies for PCIe & Memory routing, and optimal PCB material selection dependent on application end-use
• Expertise in destructive and non-destructive device failure/root cause analyses using 3DXRM, SEM, Thermal analysis (DSC, DMA etc), and FTIR Spectroscopy
• Familiarity with 2D/3D Allegro (or other) Stack Impedance and Loss simulation tools required for Signal Integrity and Power Delivery-focused interconnect optimizations
• Ability to write scripts in programming languages (i.e. Python, C/C++, MATLAB, etc.) for statistical data analysis & tool development
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills at engineering and executive levels, including a proven track record of working effectively across organizational boundaries to define process requirements, solve complex problems and drive program-related investigations to successful completion
• Laboratory Acumen - Experience with Design of Experiments, instrumentation, data acquisition and analyses, including uncertainty analysis
• Manufacturing - Sound knowledge of Design for Manufacturing guidelines, including experience with volume manufacturing in Asia as well as in North America

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
B. Sc. in Engineering (Electrical/Computer/Mechanical/Chemical…etc.) is required
MS in Electrical/Electronics and Computer Engineering is preferred

LOCATION:
Austin Texas or Hybrid (Remote + occasional travel to Austin TX, other North America & international locations)
