THE ROLE:

Help turn “possibility” into “reality” every day. At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible by delivering innovative, high-performance computing solutions across data center, AI, and advanced packaging technologies.

We are seeking a highly experienced SMTS Package Design Engineer to support complex package design execution. This role requires a self-driven technical expert who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic, and high-pressure environment, and can deliver high-quality designs with speed, precision, and scalability.

The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing AMD’s packaging methodologies by leveraging AI-driven design techniques, automation, and next-generation workflows to address the increasing complexity of heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging architectures.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is an experienced package or silicon physical designer who:

• Demonstrates strong ownership and accountability across multiple programs
• Excels in fast-phase execution environments with competing priorities
• Applies AI/ML and automation to improve design productivity and quality
• Operates with minimal supervision while influencing cross-functional teams
• Balances deep technical expertise with strong collaboration and communication skills

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Design Execution & Technical Leadership

• Lead end-to-end package design execution for complex products, ensuring performance, cost, quality, and schedule targets are met
• Handle multiple concurrent design programs in a fast-paced and high-pressure environment
• Develop substrate layouts, bump maps, and interposer designs for advanced packaging (2.5D/3D, chiplet-based architectures)
• Drive design decisions through close collaboration with SI/PI, mechanical, and SOC teams

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with internal engineering teams, OSATs, and substrate suppliers to deliver optimized solutions
• Interface with stakeholders to communicate design status, risks, and mitigation strategies
• Contribute to design reviews, signoff readiness, and tapeout processes

Methodology & Continuous Improvement
