Senior Staff Product Development Engineer (soc / Characterization)

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Singapore · Engineering

This role is for a Senior Staff Product Development Engineer at AMD, focusing on the characterization of Memory Controller IPs for next-generation SoCs. The responsibilities include evaluating product performance, developing test strategies, debugging issues, and driving continuous improvement in automated test scripts and frameworks. The role requires expertise in post-silicon validation, SoC architecture, memory protocols, and data analysis, with a preference for experience in Linux environments and scripting languages like Python.

What you'd actually do

  1. Gain expertise into the AMD SoC architecture to characterize next generation Memory Subsystem (Controller, PHY and IO) for various supported protocols such as DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5, DDR6 and LPDDR6.
  2. Understand Pattern development nuances and guide the team for bench data collection and debug with lab instruments when necessary.
  3. Work closely with cross functional teams from design and firmware side to identify key new features, firmware stability and ensure proper test coverage for the same.
  4. Drive continuous improvement initiatives on automated test scripts and test frameworks for efficient data collection, test-time optimization and data analysis.
  5. Statistical data analysis to post process volume results for data correlation across Process corners and outlier analysis.
