Product Development Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING 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.  AMD together we advance_     THE ROLE:   Test Engineering is a cost, quality, and time-to-market driven team responsible for enabling the availability of microprocessors to our customers. Pre-silicon responsibilities for the Test Engineer include understanding product features, developing characterization test plans, highlighting test coverage holes, and developing software and hardware infrastructure to execute those plans. This requires interaction with Design and Platform Engineering and allows for the opportunity to provide test enhancement feedback for future designs. Post-silicon responsibilities include microprocessor debug & analysis and the execution of characterization plans. This may include silicon performance issues, yield issues, manufacturing processes, and device marginalities. The Test Engineer will work closely with Design and Platform Engineering to root cause issues that result from the debug, characterization and margin analysis. The Test Engineer will also provide datasheet specifications and drive improvements in yield.     KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:   Position includes test planning, test creation, characterization, data analysis, and silicon debug of microprocessors in leading edge process technologies.     Includes:   Development and debug of ATE test patterns and test flows   Ensuring device testability and manufacturability from development through production   Optimization of test flows for increased quality and cost improvement   Analysis of part failures leading to test flow improvement   Characterization and debug of new silicon designs and process technologies   Analysis of characterization data     PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:   Scan/ATPG   Applicant should be familiar with scan hardware compressions, failure mechanisms and debug processes   AC scan (at-speed) development, debug, test and characterization     Array   Applicant should be familiar with modern SRAM cell operation.   SRAM debug, characterization, test or design knowledge   Memory BIST engine knowledge     Analog/Mixed Signal   Applicant should be familiar with modern microprocessor architecture and analog DFT     Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platform Verigy 93K   Applicant familiar with tester infrastructure including HW, SW, timing, levels, patterns   Test methodologies for OpenShorts / BoundaryScan and other connectivity-based testing.   Strong communication skills including data presentation   Java, Perl, C++ coding skills   ATE test experience   Unix proficiency   Modern computer architecture knowledge   ATE test program knowledge   JTAG knowledge     ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:   BS/MS EE or equivalent   LOCATION:   Austin, TX       #LI-AJ1   Benefits offered are described:    AMD benefits at a glance.   AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
