Originally posted 16 June 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Senior Mechanical Product Engineer in the Data Center Platform Engineering Group (DPEG) Mechanical Engineering department, you will serve as a key technical interface between design engineering and manufacturing for AMD Data Center GPU products. The position requires a deep understanding of mechanical architectures, assemblies, tolerances, and validation intent to ensure that manufacturing and production partners can build, inspect, and test hardware at scale.
What you'll do
- Partner with design teams and manufacturing partners to translate mechanical design intent into production, inspection, and test processes. - Identify critical-to-function features, review manufacturing and test plans, and enable production partners to inspect, assemble, and test hardware. - Support debug and root-cause analysis of issues found during prototype builds, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing. - Drive corrective actions across design, quality, supplier, and factory teams for issues related to assembly, fit, function, and reliability. - Define readiness criteria and close manufacturability gaps to improve product robustness, test coverage, and ramp schedules. - Travel periodically to Asia—especially Taiwan—including multi-week trips during key build and ramp phases.
What you'll need
- BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with industry experience in mechanical engineering, product engineering, manufacturing support, or hardware productization. - Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, design for manufacturability, tolerance management, and mechanical features across component, board, and system levels. - Experience supporting hardware builds, manufacturing test readiness, debug, and root-cause investigation with factory teams, contract manufacturers, and suppliers. - Proven technical leadership experience driving cross-functional execution across design, validation, manufacturing, and operations.
Nice to have
- An advanced engineering degree. - Working knowledge of statistical analysis, structural analysis, finite element analysis, and tolerance analysis. - CAD fluency in tools such as SolidWorks or Creo. - Experience working with server, rack, and data center hardware, along with familiarity with global manufacturing environments.
