Product Engineering Manager

Job Title

Product Engineering Manager

Role Summary

Lead a team of 4–7 product engineers for an AMD server product, responsible for characterization, test definition and execution across PVT (process, voltage, temperature) corners to meet quality, yield, test-time and schedule targets.

Drive post-silicon debug and closure, coordinate with Product Engineering, Fabrication, Platform Validation and Software teams to optimize performance and improve yield.

Experience Level

Senior — Manager-level role. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include delivering product definitions, test plans, and resolving post-silicon issues:

• Lead and mentor a team of 4–7 product engineers.
• Develop characterization and test coverage strategies.
• Define pre-silicon pattern requirements and drive design verification deliveries.
• Execute characterization and test plans on new silicon.
• Drive yield and quality improvements across wafer sort, final test, and system-level test (SLT).
• Optimize product performance working across Product Engineering, Fab, Platform Validation, and Software Engineering.
• Ensure product meets customer quality and company yield, test time, and schedule requirements.

Requirements

Must-have experience and skills:

• Proven leadership managing small engineering teams and driving technical alignment.
• Experience executing silicon characterization and test plans and closing post-silicon issues.
• Experience driving yield, quality, and test-time improvements in semiconductor products.
• Cross-functional collaboration with design, fabrication, validation, and software groups.
• Strong communication skills and ability to resolve ambiguity in fast-paced environments.

Preferred (nice-to-have):

• Familiarity with statistical methods and data analysis tools.
• Knowledge of semiconductor process, packaging and test technologies.
• Experience with DFT features (ATPG scan, memory BIST, JTAG) and at-speed testing.
• Direct experience defining and validating semiconductor device performance and optimizing test points.

Education Requirements

B.S. or M.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
