THE ROLE:
AMD is looking for a highly experienced Product Owner and technical leader to drive end-to-end execution of Datacenter Server SoC and Accelerator products. In this role, you will be responsible for product readiness, product-definition strategy, program execution, and cross-functional leadership from silicon bring-up through production readiness and sustaining support. You will work across architecture, design, firmware, platform engineering, validation, manufacturing, operations, and business organizations to ensure successful product delivery.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong program leadership skills, demonstrates sound technical judgment, proactively manages risk, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities and schedules continuously evolve. This position requires a self-driven leader who can influence decisions across organizational boundaries and drive product success without direct authority.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Product Ownership & Program Leadership
- Serve as the Product Owner for assigned Datacenter Server SoC and AI Accelerator programs.
- Drive end-to-end product execution from silicon bring-up through qualification, production readiness, launch, and sustaining support.
- Own overall product readiness and execution strategy, ensuring alignment across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and business stakeholders.
- Act as the primary focal point for product status, readiness reviews, execution health, and critical program decisions.
- Lead global cross-functional teams to deliver product milestones and business commitments.
Product Definition & Technical Leadership
- Own final product definition, including SKU strategy, fuse configuration, performance targets, and power optimization objectives.
- Drive post-silicon product characterization and readiness analysis across power, performance, leakage, yield, and manufacturability metrics.
- Lead resolution of product-limiting technical issues that impact readiness, customer commitments, quality, or schedule.
- Evaluate complex trade-offs involving performance, power, quality, manufacturing, and business objectives.
- Provide clear technical recommendations and data-driven decisions to engineering leadership and executive stakeholders.
Program Planning & Execution
- Develop and maintain product execution plans, readiness criteria, dependency tracking, and milestone assessments.
- Drive accountability across multiple organizations to achieve committed program deliverables.
- Coordinate cross-functional dependencies and remove execution blockers to ensure predictable product delivery.
- Adapt execution strategies to changing product requirements, silicon learning, roadmap updates, and business priorities.
- Ensure program objectives remain aligned despite shifts in product schedules and organizational priorities.
Risk Management & Decision Making
- Proactively identify technical, execution, manufacturing, schedule, and product-readiness risks.
- Drive timely escalation and effective mitigation plans for critical product issues.
- Apply strong technical and business judgment when making decisions under uncertainty.
- Lead execution and readiness reviews with clear risk assessments, recovery strategies, and recommendations.
- Ensure rapid resolution of critical product blockers through effective stakeholder alignment.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Influence decisions and drive execution across organizational boundaries without direct authority.
- Partner with architecture, design, firmware, validation, manufacturing, operations, supply chain, and customer-facing organizations.
- Build alignment across global teams to accelerate decision-making and execution.
- Communicate product health, risks, recovery plans, and readiness status to executive leadership.
Organizational Impact
- Improve product development methodologies, execution frameworks, and readiness management processes.
- Drive scalable operating models that improve product predictability and execution efficiency.
- Mentor engineers and emerging technical leaders in product ownership, execution excellence, and risk management.
- Contribute to AMD's long-term technology and product leadership strategy.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Extensive experience in Server SoC, CPU, GPU, AI Accelerator, or high-performance silicon product development.
- Strong understanding of product definition, characterization, validation, manufacturing readiness, and productization processes.
- Proven track record leading complex cross-functional programs from development through product launch.
- Experience owning product execution, readiness planning, and executive-level program reviews.
- Strong knowledge of power management, performance analysis, silicon characterization, and platform validation.
- Exceptional analytical, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
- Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction and drive alignment across global organizations.
- Ability to operate effectively in a dynamic environment with evolving schedules and shifting business priorities.
