 * Laboratory experience using equipment such as BERTs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar tools to perform electrical or functional validation.
 * Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving capabilities with attention to technical detail.
 * Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively through written and verbal communication and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

 * Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline preferred.

## Description

The candidate will join a highly visible and influential team of high-speed physical interface (PHY) and mixed-signal IP specialists responsible for the integration and support of third-party SERDES interfaces across AMD products. The team collaborates with AMD integration, validation, and post-silicon teams, as well as external IP vendors and customers., * Serve as the AMD technical owner for various third-party SERDES IPs, providing pre-silicon and post-silicon technical leadership and support.

 * Work directly with third-party IP vendors to support design transfer, release of design views and collateral, and integration of IP across AMD products.
 * Partner with AMD integration teams to ensure electrical, logical, and physical quality throughout the integration process.
 * Support IC package and PCB design teams in completing and evaluating signal integrity and power integrity analyses.
 * Perform technical evaluations of new IP for potential licensing.
 * Provide post-silicon support including first silicon bring-up, debug, ATE production testing, lab validation, characterization, compliance testing, and customer support activities.
 * Contribute to continuous improvement by leveraging post-silicon learnings to provide feedback and recommendations for future SERDES IP designs., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position. AMD's "Responsible AI Policy" is available here.
