Principal Semiconductor Packaging Technologist – Customer Solutions

AMD San Jose, CA, United States Full-time 4 hours ago
Packaging & Advanced Integration

Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.

About the role

This role drives packaging architecture decisions and customer integration for FPGA, embedded SoC, and custom ASIC programs within the AECG Packaging team. The scope covers IC-PKG-PCB co-design spanning 2.5D/3D, OPC, and MOP technologies from initial architecture through qualification.

What you'll do

  • Drive packaging architecture decisions and IC-PKG-PCB co-design for FPGA, embedded SoC, and custom ASIC programs spanning 2.5D/3D, OPC, and MOP technologies.
  • Lead DFM and DFMEA reviews and packaging supply qualification, partnering with OSAT and substrate suppliers on manufacturable, reliable solutions.
  • Serve as the primary customer-facing contact for assigned programs, translating customer requirements into internal technical direction.
  • Organize and lead cross-functional task forces across silicon design, packaging, SI/PI, thermal-mechanical, quality and reliability test, and supply chain.
  • Resolve technical issues, align decisions across functional teams, and track commitments to genuine closure to keep programs on schedule.

What you'll need

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Materials, Mechanical, or Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field.
  • Expert-level experience in semiconductor packaging technology integration, with working knowledge of 2.5D/3D integration, OPC, MOP, and IC-PKG-PCB co-design and co-development.
  • Strong experience with DFM/DFMEA/PFMEA and packaging supply qualification across OSAT, substrate, and materials partners.
  • Demonstrated experience engaging customers directly and coordinating cross-functional task forces to closure.

Nice to have

  • Strong knowledge of SoC architecture and critical IP blocks (SerDes, PHYs, memory controllers, I/O subsystems) and how they drive packaging and interconnect requirements.
  • Familiarity with IC-package-PCB co-design and analysis tools (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, or equivalent EDA platforms).
  • Familiarity with UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) and other die-to-die/chiplet interconnect standards.
  • Experience with signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) analysis across the package and board interconnect.
  • Understanding of high-speed I/O interface design considerations at the package level and familiarity with DDR/memory interface routing, timing, and packaging constraints.
  • Experience with power plane and PDN (power delivery network) optimization across silicon, package, and board.

Skills: 2.5D/3D, UCIe, IC-PKG-PCB co-design, SI/PI, DFM/DFMEA
