Board Level Product Development Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: Join AMD’s Network Technology Solutions Group (NTSG) as a Board Level Product Development Engineer, where you’ll sit at the center of hardware innovation, manufacturing excellence, and product delivery. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and scale. You’ll own products end-to-end — from early concepts and prototype through high-volume production and end of life — ensuring smooth transitions from development into manufacturing. Partnering closely with internal engineering teams, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and customer-facing groups, you’ll play a critical role in delivering high-quality, reliable networking and AI hardware to market. This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on role with global exposure, offering deep insight into how cutting-edge hardware products are designed, built, tested, and sustained at scale. THE PERSON: You’re a proactive, solutions-oriented engineer who takes pride in ownership and accountability. You communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and are comfortable influencing decisions across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams. You’re energized by solving complex problems, navigating ambiguity, and balancing technical depth with practical execution. You’re equally comfortable working hands-on with factories as you are collaborating with design engineers and leadership. You thrive in fast-paced environments where product quality, time-to-market, and operational excellence matter. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Manufacturing & Quality Leadership Act as the primary interface with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) and suppliers Drive prioritization and resolution of manufacturing issues, field failures, and quality concerns Design for Manufacturability (DFx) Influence product design early by assessing new technologies and components Ensure manufacturing readiness through proper equipment, processes, and factory feedback loops Drive continuous improvements in yield and manufacturability Product Readiness & Production Execution Own factory readiness and production builds at global CMs Support product bring-up and provide training to CM teams Lead escalations, remote troubleshooting, and onsite support as needed Test Strategy & Reliability Partner with Test and Platform Engineering to define manufacturing test coverage Develop data strategies to monitor capacity, yield, and quality Execute reliability testing required for product release Supply Chain Optimization Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cycle time, cost, and yield loss Manage supplier PCNs to prevent production disruption Sustaining Engineering Own BOM accuracy and manage ECOs/MCOs across NPI and production Ensure documentation remains aligned with manufacturing builds Customer & Field Issue Resolution Collaborate with customer service teams to resolve field quality and performance issues Change Qualification & Continuity Qualify alternate components, new processes, and EOL replacements Perform first article inspections to validate accuracy and quality of changes PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Experience supporting products from NPI through high-volume manufacturing Strong collaboration across hardware, test, platform, manufacturing, and supply chain teams Expertise in PCB design considerations for DFM, DFT, and DFA Experience performing hardware failure analysis and driving root cause and corrective actions Familiarity with manufacturing test development, yield analysis, and reliability validation Experience working with Product Data Management (PDM) systems such as Agile ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s or master’s degree preferred in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field LOCATION: Santa Clara, California (Hybrid) This role is not eligible for Visa Sponsorship. #LI-CS1 #LI-Hybrid Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
