The posting

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:

As an Optical & SerDes Validation Engineer in the SerDes Technology team, you will collaborate with various Product Development Groups, Silicon Design, DFT, Packaging, and interface with key technology partners. This individual serves as a critical technical point of contact to ensure best-practices and new test concepts are architected, developed, and driven throughout the organization. This position focuses primarily on developing characterization and validation test solutions for optical links (co-packaged optics, optical interconnects) with additional exposure to electrical SerDes validation. You will be part of a larger team that defines test solutions from concept, development, to production deployment.

THE PERSON:

If you have a keen interest in the latest optical link validation and characterization methodology, excel in teamwork and possess strong communication skills, your profile aligns well with our requirements. We are seeking a highly motivated individual skilled in optimizing high-speed optical link performance and capable of identifying and addressing issues within a collaborative team environment. Familiarity with electrical SerDes validation is a valuable complement to this role.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

  • Validate and characterize AMD's optical SerDes link functionality and performance against design targets, product requirements, datasheet and industry standards
  • Working closely with internal and external teams to troubleshoot optical link issues and determine root cause. Feedback to designers and architects for design improvements
  • Collaborate with architects, design engineers, and application engineers to understand specifications and features to validate and characterize optical modules and interfaces
  • Ensure and enhance optical link performance extinction ratio, TDECQ, eye/BER over optical channels compliant to relevant industry standards
  • Develop test automations with advanced scripting and programming skills to improve test and data analysis efficiency and coverage

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Hands-on experience with optical lab instruments such as DCA, Tunable Filter, PDFA, OSA etc
  • Experience testing/characterizing optical transceivers, pluggable modules, or co-packaged optics
  • Experience in mixed signal analysis and issue debug across optical domains
  • Experience in scripting test automation, demo GUI, customer supporting scripts
  • Experience with high-speed scopes, BERT, VNA, or other electrical lab equipment is a plus
  • Experience in SerDes electrical compliance for industry standards such as PCIe, Ethernet is a plus
  • Understanding of Signal Integrity and/or Power Integrity is a plus
  • Familiarity with advanced data post-processing techniques is a plus

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
