Senior Staff Product Development Engineer

THE ROLE:

As a senior staff member of the product characterization team, you will evaluate the performance of AMD AECG products, develop, lead and characterize the next generation Memory Controller IPs.

THE PERSON:

• Strongly motivated individual from post-silicon validation background.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, training, executive briefings, etc.
• Adept at collaboration and mentorship skills to train and guide fellow engineers and elevate the skills of the team around you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Gain expertise into the AMD SoC architecture to characterize next generation Memory Subsystem (Controller, PHY and IO) for various supported protocols such as DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5, DDR6 and LPDDR6.
• Understand Pattern development nuances and guide the team for bench data collection and debug with lab instruments when necessary.
• Work closely with cross functional teams from design and firmware side to identify key new features, firmware stability and ensure proper test coverage for the same.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives on automated test scripts and test frameworks for efficient data collection, test-time optimization and data analysis.
• Stay updated with the latest developments in Memory specifications and trends to inform product strategy and direction
• Statistical data analysis to post process volume results for data correlation across Process corners and outlier analysis.
• Responsible for isolating the issue to a specific area such as test gaps, SW bug, silicon bug, or process deviation using bench setup and instill good debug practices in the team.
• Drive cross-functional discussions to address the issues uncovered from debugs and collaborate for ensuring screens are in-place for gaps identified.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Extensive years of experience into post-silicon validation with strong background on SoC validation and system level testing.
• Technical leadership experience leading a small group of senior engineers.
• Strong understanding of ARM SoC architecture and Memory protocols such as DDR5 and LPDDR5.
• Experienced on bench testing and debug skills with lab instruments usage.
• Proficiency in using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol analyzers.
• Experienced in Linux environment, data analysis and scripting languages (e.g. Python, Perl) for automation and data processing.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, including data presentation and ability to work well in a group environment that spans across continents.
• Experience with AMD/Xilinx Vivado and FPGA design flow is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• BS in EE, CS, ECE or related field; MS preferred.
