We are looking for a forward-thinking candidate to drive the development and deployment of next-generation packaging design automation and AI-assisted workflows. You will focus on accelerating the design of advanced heterogeneous integration technologies, specifically substrates, organic interposers, and bridge interconnects. AMD's environment is fast-paced, results-oriented, and built upon a legion of innovators with a passion for winning technology.THE PERSON:
The successful candidate must be a technical innovator who can bridge the gap between physical design requirements and software automation. He or she must have a drive for solutions and an aptitude to thrive in a multi-tasking environment, translating complex design challenges into scriptable, scalable workflows. They should possess excellent cross-functional collaboration skills to work between Design, EDA, and AI teams, with good executive presentation skills. Demonstrating strong technical leadership to excel in his/her work with minimum supervision and a strong interest in growing within the technical or management ladder.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Drive the development and maintenance of automation scripts and tools for Substrate, Interposer, and Silicon Bridge design flows.
- Deploy AI/ML methodologies to optimize critical design stages, including auto-routing, component placement, and signal integrity optimization.
- Collaborate with EDA vendors and internal stakeholders to define and implement next-generation feature roadmaps for 2.5D and 3D packaging.
- Lead the transition from manual design practices to "Agentic" and algorithmic design operational models.
- Coordinate with electrical and mechanical analysis teams to build closed-loop optimization systems that feed simulation results back into design construction.
- Prepare & present Executive Summaries of automation ROI, efficiency gains, and tool capability advancements.
- Coordination of activities within/external teams to deliver critical design tape-outs and methodology milestones.
- Mentoring junior engineers in coding best practices and advanced packaging concepts.
- Strong knowledge of EDA packaging design tools (Cadence APD/SIP, Siemens Xpedition, or Synopsys 3DIC/Compiler).
- Proven track record of developing automation using Python, Tcl, SKILL, or C++.
- Experience with applying AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.) to engineering or design problems.
- Familiarity with Advanced Packaging architectures (2.5D/3D, Chiplets, Fan-Out, Hybrid Bonding).
- Familiar with design verification flows (DRC/LVS) and electrical extraction concepts.
- Good leadership and interpersonal skills.
- Bachelor/MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with relevant packaging experience.
