Job summary

Advanced Micro Devices (S) Pte Ltd in Singapore seeks an experienced engineer to lead thermal, mechanical and board-assembly programs from requirements through ramp. You will connect package, board, cooling and chassis interfaces to align engineering and supplier deliverables with the product schedule, including regional travel to supplier sites.

The role requires strong technical depth, cross-functional collaboration, and clear communication with engineers and executives worldwide.

Qualifications

• Substantial experience in thermal/mechanical hardware, electronic packaging or electronics NPI, including leading complex cross-functional technical programs.
• Proven delivery from engineering development through qualification and production ramp.
• Working knowledge of SMT processes and large BGA assembly challenges (warpage, coplanarity, solder-joint integrity) is advantageous.
• Understanding of the package-to-system heat path, TIMs, tolerance stack-ups, shock/vibration and board-level reliability qualification is advantageous.
• Experience managing cooling suppliers, CMs, ODMs or OSATs, preferably in the Asia-Pacific region is advantageous.
• Experience with DOE, root-cause analysis (8D, FMEA) and phase-gate program management is advantageous.
• Proficient in English, technical writing and executive communication skills.
• High-performance computing, GPU or server programs; liquid/air cooling products; PMP or equivalent; Power BI, SQL or Python is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Define program scope, milestones, owners and acceptance criteria.
• Build integrated schedules and manage critical paths, resources and budgets.
• Coordinate package, board and chassis interfaces, including thermal, power, mechanical and assembly requirements.
• Lead execution reviews with cooling suppliers, CMs, ODMs and OSATs and monitor specs, samples, tooling and capacity.
• Plan engineering and validation builds and drive entry/exit decisions at milestones.
• Coordinate deliverables for advanced SMT and large BGA assembly, including process windows and warpage mitigation.
• Manage risks, issues, dependencies and engineering changes; present recovery options with cost and qualification impact.

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believetechnology has the power to solve the world's most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMDis shapingthefuture.

Whetheryou'redesigning next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, orbringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger— technologythat moves the world forward.Join us and, together, we'll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

You will lead thermal, mechanical and advanced board-assembly development programs from requirements through engineering builds, qualification, manufacturing release and production ramp. You will connect package, board, cooling and chassis integration to make sure engineering and supplier deliverables support the product schedule. The role includes regional travel to supplier sites and engineering builds.

THE PERSON:

You are an individual contributor who drives decisions across global engineering, manufacturing and supplier teams without direct authority. You have enough technical depth to challenge assumptions and assess risk, while engineering owners keep design approval. You communicate clearly with engineers and executives alike.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Define program scope, milestones, owners and acceptance criteria. Build integrated schedules and manage critical paths, resources and budgets.
• Coordinate package, board and chassis interfaces, including thermal, power, mechanical and assembly requirements, and assess the impact of design changes.
• Lead execution reviews with cooling suppliers, CMs, ODMs and OSATs. Track specifications, samples, tooling, capacity, quality and recovery actions.
• Plan engineering and validation builds, and drive evidence-based entry and exit decisions at each milestone.
• Coordinate program deliverables for advanced SMT and large BGA assembly, including process windows, warpage mitigation, defect reduction, edge bond/underfill and BGA rework, with the responsible engineers.
• Manage risks, issues, dependencies and engineering changes. Present recovery options with schedule, cost and qualification impact to decision-makers.
• Drive DFM/DFA reviews, release documentation, manufacturing handover, ramp issue closure and lessons learned.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Substantial experience in thermal/mechanical hardware, electronic packaging or electronics NPI, including leading complex cross-functional technical programs.
• Proven delivery from engineering development through qualification and production ramp.
• Working knowledge of SMT processes and large BGA assembly challenges (warpage, coplanarity, solder-joint integrity) is advantageous.
• Understanding of the package-to-system heat path, TIMs, tolerance stack-ups, shock/vibration and board-level reliability qualification is advantageous.
