Senior Manager Product Development Engineering

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

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.

THE ROLE:

As the Senior Manager – Product Manager within the Product Engineering Organization (PEO), you will own end-to-end program and organizational accountability for one or more strategic server product lines – spanning product definition, execution, and introduction into high-volume manufacturing (HVM). Beyond program ownership, you will build, lead, and grow a multi-disciplinary product engineering organization, developing the next generation of technical and people leaders. This is a senior leadership role that requires deep semiconductor product development expertise combined with a proven track record of managing and scaling engineering teams and managers across sites.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is a seasoned, technically grounded executive with 20+ years of progressive experience in semiconductor product development and people leadership. They have a demonstrated history of successfully taking complex products from definition through high-volume production, while simultaneously building and developing high-performing, multi-site engineering teams and managers. This person operates comfortably at both the strategic and tactical level – equally capable of setting BU-level product strategy and rolling up their sleeves on technical debug or a difficult performance conversation. They bring gravitas and credibility with executive stakeholders, a coaching mindset for developing talent, and the resilience and judgment to navigate ambiguity, competing priorities, and cross-site, multicultural execution.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own overall program and business accountability for one or more Enterprise/server product lines, driving strategy, planning, definition, execution, and introduction into high-volume manufacturing.
• Build, lead, and scale a multi-functional Product Engineering organization (spanning Product/Test Engineering, characterization, yield, and program management), including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management.
• Directly manage and develop people managers and section leads; build bench strength, succession plans, and career paths to reduce single-person dependencies as the organization scales across sites (e.g., Singapore, Penang, and other global PEO sites).
• Lead cross-functional teams spanning Design, Product/Test Engineering, Quality/Reliability, Platform, Architecture, Supply Chain, ATMP/OSAT, and external partners to ensure disciplined, timely execution.
• Establish program schedules, critical path, and risk assessments; proactively escalate and drive closure on execution risks (e.g., substrate/tester capacity constraints, schedule slips) to ensure smooth NPI delivery.
• Engage BU and executive leadership with clear, concise program updates, risk assessments, and decision recommendations.
• Provide technical leadership and decision-making across characterization, test strategy, yield optimization, debug, quality screens, and SLT/FT readiness.
• Own budget planning and resource allocation for the organization, including headcount justification, hardware/lab investments, and NPI spend.
• Partner with ATMP/OSAT and manufacturing partners to support test program qualification, package qualification readiness, and ramp-to-production milestones.
• Champion a culture of global collaboration, feedback, and continuous improvement across a multinational, multi-site organization.
• Represent Product Engineering and the broader PEO organization in cross-company forums, executive reviews, and technical showcases.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• 20+ years of progressive experience in semiconductor product development, product/test engineering, or program management, including significant time in technical leadership and people management roles.
• Demonstrated success managing and growing engineering organizations, including direct management of managers/section leads across multiple sites or geographies.
• Proven track record leading complex NPI programs or product launches from definition through high-volume production, with full business and technical accountability.
• Strong knowledge of the semiconductor product lifecycle: bring-up, characterization, yield optimization, test content development, and SLT/FT/test flow readiness.
• Ability to understand and influence design, test, and manufacturing trade-offs at both the technical and business level.
• Familiarity with OSAT/ATMP processes, package qualification, HTOL/ESD/DFx, and reliability methodologies.
• Demonstrated ability to build teams from the ground up, coach and develop talent (including other people managers), and foster a high-performance, inclusive culture.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making skills.
• Excellent executive communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging CVP/SVP-level leaders, engineering teams, suppliers, and customers.
• Experience operating across a global, multicultural footprint (e.g., Singapore, Penang, Austin, Suzhou/Shanghai) is highly preferred.
• Proactive, adaptable, and comfortable navigating dynamic technical and organizational landscapes.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or a related field.
