About the job
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.
At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.
Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.
THE ROLE:
Help turn “possibility” into “reality” by leading the design execution of next-generation Data Center GPU and MI programs. This role represents a critical leadership position responsible for delivering high-performance, high-complexity package designs in a fast-paced environment.
In this role you will lead cross-functional teams across design, Signal/Power Integrity, substrate vendors, OSAT partners, and program management to ensure successful execution of multiple concurrent programs. You will drive operational excellence, scale execution using automation and AI-enabled methodologies, and deliver best-in-class package solutions that meet aggressive timelines and technical requirements.
THE PERSON :
The ideal candidate will have excellent program management and leadership skills. Can work with global cross functional teams in a fast paced environment and someone who can excel at influencing.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Program & Execution Leadership
Lead end-to-end execution of multiple Data Center GPU / MI package design programs, ensuring schedule, quality, and cost targets are consistently met.
Drive execution in fast-paced, dynamic, and high-pressure environments, managing competing priorities across programs.
Establish and maintain robust execution frameworks, including milestone tracking, risk management, and readiness gates.
Interface with senior leadership to provide clear program status, risks, and mitigation strategies.
Team Leadership & Development
Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of package design engineers across geographies.
Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement aligned with AMD engineering excellence.
Conduct performance reviews, talent development planning, and succession management.
Technical & Cross-Functional Leadership
Collaborate with silicon, SI/PI, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure design convergence.
Engage with OSAT and substrate vendors to drive design feasibility, manufacturability, and yield optimization.
Process & Methodology Innovation
Define and drive improved design methodologies, workflows, and best practices to enhance execution efficiency.
Champion adoption of AI/ML-enabled tools and automation (e.g., layout optimization, design rule checking, predictive analytics) to improve productivity and decision-making.
Scale digital transformation initiatives within the package design organization.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Experience in semiconductor package design, with strong focus on high-performance or data center products.
Proven experience leading teams and executing multiple concurrent complex projects in fast-paced environments.
Strong understanding of package layout, high-speed design considerations, and multi-die integration.
Experience with AI/ML applications in engineering workflows (design automation, data analytics, optimization).
Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
Demonstrated ability to handle ambiguity, drive decisions, and deliver under pressure.
Experience working with OSATs, substrate vendors, and manufacturing partners.
Hands-on experience with industry tools such as Synopsys 3DICC, Cadence SiP / APD or equivalent.
Experience in Data Center GPU, HPC, or advanced packaging technologies (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration).
EDUCATION : B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
This role is not eligible for Visa sponsorship.
