Principal Silicon Technology Engineer
About The Position
At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. We are seeking an exceptional Principal Engineer to serve as a technical authority and strategic contributor across the full product lifecycle of FPGA and ASIC solutions. This role encompasses advanced silicon technology evaluation, design enablement, process development, and manufacturing bring-up — spanning from early concept exploration through qualification and transfer to high-volume production (HVM).
