THE ROLE:

Join a dynamic global team dedicated to integrating reliability early into the design of AMD's cutting-edge datacenter/MI (InstinctTM) accelerator portfolio, leveraging knowledge of product lifecycle, to develop advanced tests for component, module, and board level interactions. Work collaboratively across AMD Operations, Quality, business units and world-wide partner network.

THE PERSON:

• Technical expert in the field of electronics/platform reliability with broad knowledge across materials, mechanical, and electrical domains with ability to deep-dive into each.
• Sound knowledge of material behavior, physics of failure, electronics failure mechanisms, solder reliability, electrochemical migration, burn-in screening, and operational field issues. Proven competence in statistical analysis, DoE formulations, and DPPM risk quantification.
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills, highly organized, with attention to detail. A self-starter and leader, able to handle ambiguity and possesses strong accountability.
• Adept at delivering results under time constraints, in a technical, fast-paced, solution-driven work environment, and collaborating across international time zones to drive results.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• As a Senior member of technical staff (SMTS), you will lead reliability efforts of next generation AMD MI accelerators and air/liquid cooled systems, including product qualifications of accelerator modules, kits and systems.
• Engage early with design, platform and manufacturing teams to build-in DfR (design for reliability).
• Conduct NUDD (new, unique, different, difficult) analysis of new HW designs and utilize FMEA/FEA to define reliability assessment plans.
• Lead DfM (design for manufacturability) and process-FMEA reviews with cross-functional teams and contract manufacturing partners.
• Conduct reliability risk assessments and characterization DoE to ensure assembly processes are robust and optimized.
• Drive efficient execution of qualification plans across different teams/geographies, facilitating bring-up/debug support, telemetry analysis, and collaborative issue resolution. Quantify reliability risks using applied statistical methods.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Extensive experience in quality/reliability engineering role leading product validation/analysis and delivering reliability risk assessments/results to key stakeholders and customers.
• Candidate should be experienced in electronics board manufacturing/NPI, assembly/system integration, DfM and reliability under various product lifecycle loads.
• Candidate should be well-versed with issue triage/debug, devising experiments to solve varied manufacturing challenges, and associated failure analysis methods.
• Datacenter platform validation experience, lifecycle warranty analysis and knowledge of networking and optics.
• Basic knowledge of PCB design, layout tools such as Allegro, Gerber and CAD tools.
• Familiarity with JEDEC, IPC, AEC, IEC, and ASHRAE industry standards.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• MS/PhD, in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics engineering.
• Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) certification, preferred.
