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 product test engineering co-op position centers around hands-on work with the newest processors coming out at AMD. The primary roll includes: developing and debugging test content, performing silicon characterization, and performing data analysis and reporting. We use Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and System Level Test (SLT) platforms to perform various testing such as scan/ATPG, memory BIST, High Speed I/O, and other related technologies. Co-op will be paired with an mentor and will gain experience in: modern DFT implementations, debug processes, failure mechanisms, and scripting for analysis and test generation.

Key Functions:

Depending on the specific project assignment, will perform applicable functions from the following:

• Product debug and characterization to determine product performance, process and test sensitivities.
• Yield analysis and use industry standard tools (Mentor's Tessent Diagnosis, etc) to support yield debug and failure analysis.
• Develop scripts or tools to create efficiency improvements.

Preferred Education and Experience:

• In progress towards a BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering; GPA of at least 3.3/4.0.
• Solid understanding of the basics of transistors and computer architecture.
• Familiarity with Linux, Ruby/Perl/Python scripting, Java or C++, and regular expressions is preferred.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office apps

Ability to work two coop terms back-to-back (spring/summer or summer/fall) is strongly preferred.
