THE TEAM:

The Customer Solutions Engineering team is chartered with the platform enablement, solutions ramp, and product support of all server OEMs, ODMs, MDCs, and the associated extended ingredient server ecosystem. This team has platform engineering central accountability to enable our AMD partners to quickly expand their portfolio and quickly ramp these new platforms to broad launch. This consolidated organization provides the opportunity to scale emerging into new workloads while crafting new levels of efficiency with our more mature MDC and base OEM configurations.

With their unified technical view of the Server BU platform portfolio, they represent the “voice of our customers” back into server development teams throughout AMD. The team will ensure we have one Platform Engineering technical voice to our customers and provide consolidated and prioritized inputs to AMD’s upstream development and planning teams.

The support provided by this team encompasses delivering customer design-win and design-in work partnering on platform bring-up and debug support, ensuring the integration of AMD technologies, developing industry-wide enabling collateral, and providing technical training to key AMD sales support.

The team owns all customer execution plans with a continuous focus on optimizing the path from bring-up to launch. They drive prioritization and execution of debug, root cause, and resolution for customer sightings in partnership with validation and design teams. They are the single voice communication for all critical issues involving potential recalls. And they work closely with product marketing and planning on prioritizing customer requests.

THE PERSON:

The person has a clear passion for our customer’s winning with AMD products. Showing emotional intelligence while interacting with the customer is fundamental and balancing this with a structured approach to moving the customer strategically aligned with AMD business needs is equally critical.  Equally important to the customer relationships is building a positive relationship with all related development teams so that when issues for key talent or other special requests are required there is very low latency.   He/She shows experience in routinely satisfying customers with technical responsiveness while not continuously impacting the committed schedules of our development teams. As a senior technical member of the team, it is also vital for this person who have a passion to grow and lead the technical compentency and culture of the team,
