What you do at AMD changes everything 
 

At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible.  We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies – building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center. 
 

Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the “extra mile” to achieve unthinkable results.  It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world.   If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.
 

The Role:

As a part of this team you as a Test Engineer will debug and manage manufacturing and characterization test programs for next-generation AMD microprocessors. You will work on internal System Level Test (SLT) platforms. Debug test infrastructure issues including test HW, test SW, diagnostics, and device-specific IP. Additionally, you'll demonstrate SLT data to drive improvements in either the product’s platform software or upstream ATE test coverage. AMD is bolder than ever, focused and energized - you can make a career move that matters! We have competitive benefit packages and award-wining culture. Join us!
