About The Position

As a Senior Mechanical Product Engineer in the Data Center Platform Engineering Group (DPEG) Mechanical Engineering department, you will serve as a key technical interface between design engineering and manufacturing for AMD Data Center GPU products. This is not a primary mechanical design role; instead, the position requires deep understanding of AMD mechanical architectures, assemblies, tolerances, and validation intent to ensure that manufacturing and production partners can correctly build, inspect, and test hardware at scale. You will help drive manufacturing readiness for mechanical aspects of the product, translate design intent into clear production test and debug expectations, and help resolve issues discovered during bring-up, pilot builds, and high-volume manufacturing. To succeed in this role, you will work cross-functionally with mechanical design, board engineering, package engineering, validation, quality, operations, suppliers, and manufacturing partners, while influencing execution across internal and external teams.

Requirements

BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with significant industry experience in mechanical engineering, product engineering, manufacturing support, or hardware productization.
Extensive experience serving as a technical lead in a large, fast-paced engineering environment, with responsibility for driving cross-functional execution across design, validation, manufacturing, and operations.
Comfortable leading through influence, managing ambiguity, and resolving complex issues across multiple programs in parallel.
Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, design for manufacturability, tolerance management, and how mechanical features translate into manufacturing and production test requirements.
Experience with complex hardware products and ability to interpret design intent at the component, board, and system levels in order to support factory enablement, product debug, and failure analysis.
Working knowledge of statistical analysis, structural analysis, finite element analysis, and tolerance analysis is valuable.
CAD fluency in tools such as SolidWorks or Creo.
Experience supporting hardware builds, manufacturing test readiness, debug, and root-cause investigation is required.
Comfortable working with factory teams, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and internal labs to resolve issues related to assembly, fit, function, reliability, or production escapes, and to help define effective screening and verification approaches.
Skilled at identifying systemic manufacturing and productization risks, prioritizing high-impact issues, and implementing practical solutions in a dynamic, high-tech environment with significant uncertainty.
Effective collaboration across design engineering, operations, quality, vendors, and manufacturing partners is critical for success.
Clear communication, strong follow-through, and the ability to build alignment across geographically distributed teams and cultures.

Nice To Haves

An advanced engineering degree is a plus.
Experience working with server, rack, and data center hardware, along with familiarity with global manufacturing environments, is highly desirable.
Must be able to understand, review, and communicate design details effectively in support of manufacturing and debug activities.

Responsibilities
