Product Development Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. 

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: 

AMD is seeking a highly motivated Member of Technical Staff (MTS), Post-Silicon Electrical Validation Engineer to join the Server Compute and Enterprise AI Validation team. In this role, you will be responsible for validating and characterizing high-speed I/O interfaces on AMD Datacenter Server and AI platforms, ensuring robust performance, interoperability, and product quality from silicon bring-up through production release.

 

You will work closely with architecture, silicon design, signal integrity, package, board, firmware, BIOS, software, and platform teams to develop validation plans, execute test strategies, perform electrical characterization, and debug complex system-level issues. The role offers opportunities to contribute to industry-leading technologies including PCIe, Ethernet, Memory Subsystems, and next-generation AI and server platforms.

 

THE PERSON: 

The ideal candidate is passionate about complex technical challenges, enjoys hands-on lab debugging, and has strong fundamentals in high-speed electrical interfaces and system validation. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, can independently drive technical investigations, and possess the ability to translate ambiguous failures into structured debug plans and actionable solutions.

 

You are a collaborative engineer who combines technical depth, disciplined execution, and continuous learning while contributing to the success of global engineering teams.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Validation Strategy & Execution
• Develop and execute post-silicon validation plans for high-speed I/O interfaces including PCIe, xGMI, UALink, IFoE, UCIe, and memory-related technologies.
• Define validation requirements, test coverage, and success criteria to ensure platform-level functionality, performance, and reliability.
• Design and execute electrical characterization, compliance, interoperability, and stress test scenarios across various operating conditions.
• Validate advanced interface features including link training, equalization, power management, bandwidth scaling, and platform enablement.

 

• Electrical Characterization & Debug
• Perform hands-on measurements and analysis using oscilloscopes, TDRs, VNAs, protocol analyzers, BERTs, and other advanced lab equipment.
• Conduct margining experiments, PHY analysis, and electrical characterization to assess interface robustness and optimize system performance.
• Investigate and debug complex silicon, platform, firmware, BIOS, software, and hardware interactions.
• Drive root-cause analysis and collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions and long-term solutions.

 

• Automation & Methodology Development
• Develop and maintain automation frameworks, test scripts, and regression environments to improve validation efficiency and scalability.
• Enhance validation methodologies, coverage, and workflows through continuous process improvements.
• Support data collection, correlation, analysis, and reporting to enable data-driven engineering decisions.

 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with silicon design, architecture, signal integrity, platform engineering, BIOS, firmware, software, and quality teams to drive product readiness.
• Collaborate with globally distributed engineering teams to align validation objectives, debug activities, and milestone execution.
• Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations to engineering leadership and key stakeholders.

 

• Technical Leadership & Knowledge Sharing
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and team members during validation and debug activities.
• Contribute to best practices, validation methodologies, and technical documentation across the organization.
• Share lessons learned and help drive technical excellence within the validation team.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Experience in post-silicon validation, electrical characterization, hardware development, or system-level debug.
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces and protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, LPDDR, or related technologies.
• Experience using high-speed measurement and debug equipment including oscilloscopes, TDRs, VNAs, protocol analyzers, or equivalent tools.
• Familiarity with scripting or programming languages such as Python, C/C++, Perl, or similar.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a global engineering environment.
• Experience with server, datacenter, or AI product validation.
• Knowledge of JEDEC memory standards, PCIe compliance testing, signal integrity, and PHY characterization.
• Experience with Linux and Windows Server environments.
  Familiarity with validation automation frameworks and large-scale regression systems.
• Experience working with Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, or similar engineering collaboration tools.

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline.
