THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking an experienced PCB Design and Layout Engineer to support next-generation GPU and compute platforms. This role requires a self-driven engineer who can independently own complex PCB designs while partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready hardware.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate has extensive experience designing complex printed circuit boards using industry-standard PCB design tools such as Cadence Allegro, Altium, Zuken, PADS, or similar EDA platforms. You are comfortable taking technical ownership, making design decisions in fast-paced environments, and collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead end-to-end high-speed PCB design and layout for advanced GPU, CPU, and server platforms.
• Define ASIC ball-out, component placement, routing strategy, stack-ups, and design constraints.
• Develop and implement design rules for high-speed interfaces including PCIe, memory, SERDES, and power delivery networks.
• Collaborate with Board Design, SI/PI, Mechanical, Thermal, Packaging, and Manufacturing teams to optimize design performance and manufacturability.
• Execute PCB verification and design rule checks to ensure design quality and release readiness.
• Drive designs from concept through fabrication, assembly, and production release.
• Generate and review manufacturing outputs including ODB++, Gerbers, and fabrication documentation.
• Contribute to PCB design methodologies, process improvements, and reusable design collateral.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Prior, recent years of PCB design and layout experience on complex, high-speed electronic systems.
• Hands-on experience with Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Altium, Zuken, PADS, or equivalent PCB CAD tools.
• Expertise in high-speed routing, HDI technologies, dense BGA designs, stack-up development, impedance control, and power delivery.
• Strong understanding of PCB fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience designing CPU, GPU, data center, or other high-performance computing platforms.
• Experience partnering with Signal Integrity and Power Integrity teams.
• Familiarity with ASIC-driven PCB development workflows and design automation initiatives.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's or Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related disciplines
