Job description

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we're looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don't shy away from humanity's challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you're designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward.

Job Role and Responsibility:

AMD Design, LLC, a subsidiary of AMD, Inc., is hiring MTS Hardware Development Engineer to Support engineering team by loading, testing, and validating thermal solutions for rack mount servers. Recommend design changes and optimize configurations. Systematic use simulation early in the design process to prevent failure modes in products and assist in problem resolution. Troubleshoot thermal and airflow issues in new and existing product lines. Work with the engineering team to optimize thermal performance of servers using empirical data and bench test methods. Optimize airflow speed, volume, and flow paths to meet customer and components requirements. Support custom engineering projects that require hands-on ability to interconnect complex server systems. Use analytical tools to determine root cause and design changes required to remedy premature failures. Produce thermal reports from experimental data and test/modeling benchmarks. Create manufacturing feasible new product concepts by applying engineering principles and analytical techniques. Development of CFD and thermal simulation methods and the integration into existing/emerging engineering development processes. Utilize knowledge of mechanics, heat transfer, and computational fluid dynamics, as well as knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles. Apply knowledge of engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of various company proprietary products.
