Product Planning Engineer – DSP / RF

Job Title

Product Planning Engineer – DSP / RF

Role Summary

Responsible for product planning of next-generation AMD Adaptive and Embedded Computing products with a focus on DSP and RF technologies. Drive definition and alignment of product capabilities across signal processing, RF conversion, and compute integration including AI/ML.

Serve as a technical point of contact across business, architecture, and engineering teams; translate system-level signal chain requirements into product definitions and IP strategies and align roadmap and IP development with market needs.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not state specific years of experience but expects independent technical decision-making and cross-functional influence.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include translating system requirements into product and IP definitions and aligning product roadmaps with engineering and business stakeholders.

• Drive product planning for FPGAs, Adaptive SoCs, Embedded x86, and semi-custom products focusing on DSP, RF, and AI/ML capabilities.
• Translate system-level signal chain and compute requirements into product definitions and IP requirements (RF converters, DSP blocks, AI/ML integration).
• Collaborate with architecture, IP, and engineering teams to define performance and functionality that meet market requirements.
• Align product roadmap decisions with IP development, solution requirements, and execution plans.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment across product planning, architecture, and execution teams.
• Analyze market trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies to inform product strategy.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and work experience required for the role.

• Demonstrated technical depth in digital signal processing (DSP), RF systems, AI/ML acceleration, or mixed-signal systems.
• Experience with product definition, roadmap planning, and translating system requirements into IP/product requirements.
• Proven ability to work across architecture, IP, and engineering teams; strong cross-functional communication and influence.
• Experience in the semiconductor industry (architecture or system design for FPGA, ASIC, or Adaptive SoC-based systems) and customer engagement experience.
• Ability to drive technical decisions independently and be accountable for accuracy and completeness of results.
• Strategic business acumen; ability to build business cases, contribute to financial models, and justify investments.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States; this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with mixed-signal or data-converter architectures, heterogeneous integration, or chiplet-based architectures.
• Domain experience in wireless infrastructure, aerospace & defense, test & measurement, or data center systems.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline (as stated in the posting).
