WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. The Role We are seeking a motivated HBM Phy (High Bandwidth Memory) validation engineer to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer to gain hands-on experience in post-silicon validation of cutting-edge high-speed memory interfaces. You'll work in a dynamic lab environment, collaborating with experienced engineers and cross-functional teams to ensure the quality and performance of AMD's industry-leading products.

The Person You are a detail-oriented and collaborative problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. You bring curiosity and adaptability to every challenge, quickly learning new tools and techniques while maintaining a strong commitment to quality. Clear communication and teamwork are at the core of your approach, enabling you to work effectively with cross-functional teams and share insights that drive solutions. Your ability to stay organized, think critically under pressure, and approach complex issues with persistence makes you an invaluable contributor to innovative product development.

You are comfortable with significant lab-based work involving hands-on testing and measurement, and you enjoy working in a collaborative team environment with regular interaction across design, validation, and software teams. You embrace opportunities to contribute to multiple projects and product generations, and you value flexible work arrangements with core lab hours as needed for testing.
