Responsibilities:

THE ROLE: 

Join a global product reliability team that drives product qualifications for the next generation Datacenters and Servers, leveraging advanced silicon and packaging technologies. This position is a highly visible role within the AMD engineering team and is responsible for developing end-to-end Hardware and Software solutions for High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) and Burn-in test to characterize silicon reliability behavior for new products to align with AMD product and customer requirements. The position provides influence that mandates strong technical and analytical skills.

 

THE PERSON: 

This role is well suited to a self-motivated and collaborative semiconductor reliability engineer with hands-on experience developing HTOL and Burn-In hardware and stress-test programs. The ideal candidate brings direct experience with Micro Control Company (MCC) Burn-In platforms and the C-Breez software environment. Direct Burn-In development and MCC/C-Breez experience are central to the scope of this position. While broader semiconductor reliability, qualification, or ATE experience is valuable, this position is especially focused on direct Burn-In development and MCC/C-Breez experience. 

 

You take end-to-end ownership of BIB hardware design, test-pattern integration, hardware bring-up, and program debug while collaborating effectively with design, product engineering, suppliers, and global reliability laboratories. You are a team-oriented contributor focused on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and expanding overall team success.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Starting in early product development cycle, collaborating with cross-functional teams to design custom High-Power Burn-In Boards (BIBs) for CPU and GPUs.
• Interface with PCB fabrication and socket manufacturers to guide board development.
• Establish HTOL/BI pattern requirements for development of stress programs and work with design validation and product engineering teams to bring-up burn-in DFT patterns.
• Integrate patterns into stress programs, debug, and maintain reliability test code, utilizing the native MCC C-Breez environment or associated platform software.
• Lead hardware validation of First Article boards for HTOL and Burn-in, debug hardware and PNP software issues.
• Communicate with offshore factories and reliability labs during HTOL/BI hardware and test program brin-up.
• Conduct test data analysis Pre/Post Burn-in experiments to identify opportunities for test program optimization. Create data-logging scripts to capture parametric drift, test logs, and qualification metrics.
• Expanded role to support ESD and Latch-up hardware and stress program development.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Knowledge of HTOL/BI board schematics, layout and PCB development to define requirements.
• Knowledge of HTOL/BI DFT pattern architecture, pattern vector timing.
• Hands-on experience of programming such as Python/C++/SQL and scripting language.
• Knowledge of test pattern architecture, vector translation, vector timing diagrams and developing programs to enable HTOL/BI stress testing.
• Experience in Product Reliability Engineering, with exposure to Product Engineering, Test, HTOL/BI environment and test methodology.
• Experience with oscilloscope and logic analyzer equipment to debug Burn-in-Boards.
• Knowledge of Computer and processor Architecture concepts, a plus.
• Knowledge of modeling techniques to develop DOE experiments for Burn-in optimization, a plus.
• Knowledge of device degradation models for production guardbands, a plus.
• Strong communication skills including data presentation.

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent.

 

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
