• Lead and advocate for technology pathfinding and custom enhancement initiatives that exceed foundry standard options—driving novel device/process features, design‑technology co‑optimization opportunities, and PDK enhancements needed for competitive differentiation.
• Collaborate with internal design, reliability, packaging, and product engineering teams to ensure the technology meets all product requirements and is tuned to AMD‑specific architectural, performance, and manufacturability needs.
• Apply deep knowledge of semiconductor device physics, advanced logic technologies (FinFET or newer), and new product introduction for advanced technology nodes.
• Utilize strong understanding of IC design, model‑hardware correlation factors, and PDK components such as design rule manuals and SPICE models.
• Leverage familiarity with technology and product reliability, CPI (Chip‑Package Interaction), SPC/process control, and SRAM/analog design to identify and enable technology differentiation opportunities.
• Communicate effectively across organizations and manage complex, cross‑functional projects involving internal and external partners.
