Hiring: Failure Analysis Engineer - Server PCBA Design - Power Company: AMD Location: Secaucus, NJ Job Posted Time: 2026-09-11 18:02:29 Target Skills & Keywords : HBase, Linux, Move, PATs, Python, Rails, SQL About the job Required Skills: •Own end-to-end hardware root cause analysis for server PCBAs, with primary depth in power delivery, PDBs, bridge boards, sequencing, connectors, and board-level electrical interfaces while maintaining capability across motherboards and high-speed IO paths. This role leads RCA for bring-up, factory, customer, and system-level failures by quickly isolating board-level issues through schematic and layout review, SI/PI assessment, rail behavior analysis, component-level electrical debug, imaging, fault isolation, and lab evidence. The engineer will determine whether issues are driven by design, layout, component quality, manufacturing process, configuration, firmware-controlled behavior, or platform interactions. Success requires serving as the technical FA owner while partnering with Systems Integration on firmware and platform topics and driving corrective actions with hardware design, validation, silicon, manufacturing, supplier quality, firmware, and customer-facing teams. •The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical FA lead with deep server PCBA debug experience across power distribution, PDBs, bridge boards, and complex compute, GPU, accelerator, or hyperscale platforms. They can navigate ambiguous failures involving rails, VRs, hot-swap paths, connectors, cables, clocks, resets, diagnostics, motherboards, firmware-controlled hardware boundaries, and high-speed IO. This person can review schematics and layouts, apply SI/PI fundamentals, perform component-level electrical debug, use scopes and logic analyzers, leverage imaging and fault isolation methods, and build evidence-based RCA conclusions. They should define diagnostic strategy, automate analysis with Python, Linux, and SQL, communicate clear technical conclusions, and drive corrective actions across cross-functional engineering teams. •Key Responsibilities •Lead hardware failure analysis and root cause ownership for server PCBA bring-up, factory, customer, and system-level issues, with primary depth in power delivery, PDB, and bridge board domains. •Own technical FA across distribution paths, VRs, hot-swap circuits, connectors, cables, sequencing, and related motherboard or high-speed IO interactions. •Identify whether failures stem from design, component quality, layout, manufacturing, SI/PI behavior, diagnostics, configuration, firmware-controlled hardware behavior, or platform interactions. •Develop diagnostic strategy and execute structured debug plans using design reviews, oscilloscope captures, logic analyzer traces, imaging results, electrical measurements, diagnostic outputs, telemetry, and p Compensation: •$130,400 •$195,600 Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
