This position includes test planning, pattern conversion, characterization/debug and data analysis. In this role you will be interacting with Design and Platform Engineering and allows for test enhancement feedback for future designs. In this key role, you will be responsible for the development and implementation of structural tests starting with EVT(engineering validation test) builds to find SMT (surface mount testing), PCB, and component issues. You will work closely with PCB designers, tester vendors, fixture houses and CMs to enable the process., * Drive structural test coverage simulation and analysis from AOI, AXI, to ICT * Optimize the structural test plan to find SMT, PCB, and component issues earlier. * Develop test strategy for new product features including identification, specification, design and qualification of test fixtures, test equipment and diagnostic software. * Review and provide feedback for DFT in the early design stages. * Debug complex hardware and software issues during build phases. * Contribute to automated diagnostic generation and validation infrastructure. * Support the development of test content and solutions in Python. * Investigate and introduce new manufacturing test technology and methodology to improve production efficiency. * Define ICT (integrated circuit technology) capability, HW design requirements, and board debug capabilities from design review phase, NPI bring-up to mass production phase. * Coordinate test fixtures/platform automation with suppliers, CMs, and global team. * Work with board designers, layout engineers, tester vendors, and fixture houses by providing detailed DFM (design for manufacturing) and guidance to meet ICT requirements. * Contribute to our automated validation infrastructure. * May provide technical supervision or mentoring junior engineers. * Influences others as a technical leader. * Develop and maintain effective working relationship with other departments., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
