THE ROLE

Test Engineering is a critical function responsible for delivering high-quality microprocessors to market—driving cost, quality, and time-to-market.

As a Test Engineer, you will play a key role across both pre-silicon and post-silicon phases. Pre-silicon, you will develop characterization strategies, identify test coverage gaps, and build the infrastructure needed to validate new designs. Post-silicon, you will focus on debug, characterization, and yield improvement, working hands-on with silicon to resolve performance and manufacturing challenges.

This role offers strong cross-functional exposure, partnering closely with Design and Platform Engineering to influence product quality and drive continuous improvement for current and future generations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and debug ATE test patterns and test flows
• Define and execute test plans, characterization, and silicon validation
• Ensure testability and manufacturability from development through production
• Analyze silicon failures and drive test flow improvements
• Perform silicon debug, including performance, yield, and marginality analysis
• Optimize test flows to improve quality, efficiency, and cost
• Analyze characterization data to inform design and process improvements
• Collaborate with Design and Platform teams to root cause and resolve issues

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

Test & Silicon Engineering

• Experience with ATE platforms (e.g., Verigy 93K) including hardware, software, timing, and pattern development
• Knowledge of test methodologies such as Open/Shorts, Boundary Scan, and connectivity testing
• Familiarity with ATE test program development and infrastructure

Scan / ATPG

• Understanding of scan compression techniques, failure mechanisms, and debug processes
• Experience with at-speed (AC scan) development, debug, and characterization

Memory / Array

• Knowledge of modern SRAM operation
• Experience with SRAM debug, characterization, test, or design
• Familiarity with Memory BIST architectures

Analog / Mixed Signal

• Understanding of microprocessor architecture and analog DFT concepts

Technical Skills

• Strong data analysis and presentation skills
• Programming experience in Java, Perl, or C++
• Unix/Linux proficiency
• Knowledge of JTAG and modern processor architectures

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
