About the Role

AMD’s Foundry Technology & Product Optimization (TPO) team defines and executes AMD’s process technology strategy. This role will lead process technology planning and optimization for Semi-Custom products, acting as a technical bridge between foundry partners, internal engineering teams, and customers to ensure successful product execution.

Responsibilities

Define expectations for foundry capabilities and process roadmaps to meet product requirements.
Lead new product introduction and product development for Semi-Custom products from pre-silicon development through high-volume production and sustaining.
Own and manage foundry technology execution across key product-development milestones.
Perform wafer-level modeling to optimize wafer layouts, scribe configurations, die utilization, and product cost.
Evaluate device best-known methods and drive their implementation across applicable products.
Monitor process targeting and optimization to achieve product power, performance, area, yield, reliability, and cost objectives.
Lead root-cause analysis and continuous process improvements related to yield, reliability, and manufacturing performance.
Serve as the technical interface among internal functional teams, foundry partners, and external customers.
Communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, recommendations, and progress clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

Requirements

Experienced semiconductor technology professional with strong knowledge of device physics, yield engineering, and advanced process technologies.
Possess technical depth combined with strong program leadership, analytical thinking, and the ability to influence cross-functional teams and external partners.
Detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable using data and AI-enabled tools to identify trends, support decisions, and drive continuous improvement.
Strong technical expertise in semiconductor device physics and yield engineering.
Experience leading semiconductor new product introduction from pre-silicon development through high-volume manufacturing.
Knowledge of advanced process integration, including FinFET technologies; experience with Gate-All-Around (GAA) technologies is a plus.
Experience with wafer-level modeling, layout optimization, die utilization, process targeting, and cost improvement.
Demonstrated ability to investigate complex yield or reliability challenges and drive root-cause resolution.
Strong technical program management skills with experience coordinating cross-functional teams and external partners.
Proficiency in data analysis; experience using AI-enabled analytical tools is an asset.
Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to learn and adapt in a fast-paced technical environment.
