TL;DR · SLT Test Engineer

The SLT Test Engineer joins the System Level Test team to manage the transition of next-generation processors from early silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing. This role involves developing, debugging, and optimizing test programs while performing characterization and test margin analysis. The engineer will investigate silicon, firmware, design, and manufacturing issues to improve yield, quality, and test efficiency. Key responsibilities include analyzing product data to enhance coverage and collaborating with cross-functional teams like foundry and supply chain to ensure product readiness. Required skills include a background in fields such as Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering, along with proficiency in Python, C/C++, Java, SQL, or shell scripting. Candidates should also possess experience in statistical analysis, data modeling, and tools like JMP or Snowflake while navigating the complexities of CPU architecture and hardware debug methodologies.

What you'll do

  • Develop, debug, and optimize System Level Test (SLT) programs for AMD processors.
  • Support new product bring-up, characterization, and test margin analysis.
  • Analyze data to improve yield, quality, test coverage, and test time.
  • Investigate and resolve silicon, firmware, design, and manufacturing issues.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to drive overall product readiness.
  • Improve test methodologies, automation, and engineering tools to increase operational efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer, or related technical disciplines) is preferred.
  • An advanced degree in a relevant field is considered a plus.
  • Experience with programming or scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, Java, SQL, or shell scripting.
  • Knowledge of statistical analysis, data modeling, and Pareto-based problem solving.
  • Proficiency with data analytics and visualization tools like JMP or Snowflake.
  • Familiarity with PC hardware, system bring-up, ATE environments, and hardware debug methodologies.
  • Experience in developing, debugging, and optimizing test programs for processors.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with geographically distributed teams.
