Senior EMC/RFI Design and Test Engineer at AMD responsible for design and validation testing on AMD ICs and their associated Platforms-PCBs reference design & Systems. The role involves performing design work to meet EMC and RFI requirements, developing design guidelines and test procedures, supporting simulation needs, writing test plans, performing validation and debug tests, and assisting in EMC certification. The candidate is expected to embrace AI and leverage AI LLM and Agentic AI to accelerate the design and testing workflow.

What you'd actually do

  1. Perform design work to meet EMC and RFI requirements on AMD products to include schematic, layout, PCB Stack-up reviews, component placement, substrate layout reviews and chassis, rack, connectivity design.
  2. Work with EMC/RFI architects to develop ASIC, Platform and System Design guidelines and test procedures to support validation and compliance tests.
  3. Support EMC/RFI Architects on their EMI/RFI simulation needs. If required perform Shielding Effectiveness simulation on critical parts of chassis & racks.
  4. Write internal test plans, perform EMC/RFI validation and debug tests.
  5. Assist in EMC certification with Third Party test Labs.
