THE ROLE:

Help turn “possibility” into “reality” by leading the design execution of next-generation Data Center GPU and MI programs. This role represents a critical leadership position responsible for delivering high-performance, high-complexity package designs in a fast-paced environment.

In this role you will lead cross-functional teams across design, Signal/Power Integrity, substrate vendors, OSAT partners, and program management to ensure successful execution of multiple concurrent programs. You will drive operational excellence, scale execution using automation and AI-enabled methodologies, and deliver best-in-class package solutions that meet aggressive timelines and technical requirements.

THE PERSON :

The ideal candidate will have excellent program management and leadership skills. Can work with global cross functional teams in a fast paced environment and someone who can excel at influencing.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Program & Execution Leadership

• Lead end-to-end execution of multiple Data Center GPU / MI package design programs, ensuring schedule, quality, and cost targets are consistently met.
• Drive execution in fast-paced, dynamic, and high-pressure environments, managing competing priorities across programs.
• Establish and maintain robust execution frameworks, including milestone tracking, risk management, and readiness gates.
• Interface with senior leadership to provide clear program status, risks, and mitigation strategies.

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of package design engineers across geographies.
• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement aligned with AMD engineering excellence.
• Conduct performance reviews, talent development planning, and succession management.

Technical & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate with silicon, SI/PI, thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure design convergence.
• Engage with OSAT and substrate vendors to drive design feasibility, manufacturability, and yield optimization.

Process & Methodology Innovation

• Define and drive improved design methodologies, workflows, and best practices to enhance execution efficiency.
• Champion adoption of AI/ML-enabled tools and automation (e.g., layout optimization, design rule checking, predictive analytics) to improve productivity and decision-making.
• Scale digital transformation initiatives within the package design organization.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in semiconductor package design, with strong focus on high-performance or data center products.
• Proven experience leading teams and executing multiple concurrent complex projects in fast-paced environments.
• Strong understanding of package layout, high-speed design considerations, and multi-die integration.
• Experience with AI/ML applications in engineering workflows (design automation, data analytics, optimization).
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Demonstrated ability to handle ambiguity, drive decisions, and deliver under pressure.
• Experience working with OSATs, substrate vendors, and manufacturing partners.
• Hands-on experience with industry tools such as Synopsys 3DICC, Cadence SiP / APD or equivalent.
• Experience in Data Center GPU, HPC, or advanced packaging technologies (e.g., chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration).
  
  

EDUCATION : B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
