Senior Emc/rfi Design and Test Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Austin, TX · Engineering

This role is for a Senior EMC/RFI Design and Test Engineer at AMD, responsible for ensuring AMD's ICs, platforms, and systems meet electromagnetic capability and radio frequency interference requirements. The role involves design work, developing guidelines, performing validation tests, and assisting with certification. A key aspect is the "preferred experience" which highlights the utilization of AI LLM and Agentic AI to accelerate the design and testing workflow, indicating an exploration of AI tools within an engineering context.

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.
