In this highly visible role, you will contribute to AMD's common Base Test Program and Test Shell while leading test enablement for high-speed I/O and die-to-die interfaces. You will have the opportunity to influence test strategy across the full product lifecycle-from first-silicon bring-up and characterization through production release and high-volume manufacturing. Your work will directly improve test quality, yield, test time, scalability, and release readiness for next-generation microprocessor and chiplet products. THE PERSON You are a hands-on ATE Test Engineer with deep experience developing and debugging test programs on Advantest V93000 platforms. You understand how silicon, test software, tester and probe hardware, patterns, timing, and manufacturing processes interact. You bring strong technical judgment, disciplined software-development practices, and the ability to lead complex debug efforts across global teams. You are an effective communicator and mentor who can influence infrastructure strategy across products and organizations., * Develop and integrate reusable wafer-sort Base Test Program and common Test Shell infrastructure, including test flows, services, configurations, diagnostics, data collection, and release controls. * Lead SmarTest 8 and Advantest V93000 test program development, debug, validation, release readiness, and production support. * Drive wafer-sort strategy, first-silicon bring-up, characterization, margining, screening, diagnostics, and failure isolation for high-speed I/O and die-to-die interfaces. * Integrate patterns, timing, levels, test methods, device configurations, binning, and debug capabilities into the common test program. * Troubleshoot complex interactions across silicon, test software, tester and probe hardware, patterns, timing, and manufacturing processes. * Partner with Design, Design for Test, Product Engineering, Yield Engineering, Test Hardware, and Manufacturing teams to improve coverage, testability, yield, test time, and product quality. * Define scalable architecture and coding practices that enable reuse across products, silicon revisions, test insertions, and manufacturing sites. * Lead technical reviews, document architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and support global engineering teams, manufacturing partners, and equipment vendors., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
