What are the responsibilities and job description for the Foundry Technology & Operation (FTO) Product Owner position at AMD?
WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
The Role
The Foundry Technology Operations (FTO) Product Owner plays a critical role in bringing AMD products from early development to high‑volume manufacturing. This position sits within a highly cross‑functional, fast‑paced environment and serves as the technical and execution focal point between AMD and external foundry partners.
In this role, you will own the Product Process Plan of Record, drive wafer readiness, and continuously optimize performance, yield, reliability, power, area, and cost. You’ll work closely with internal teams—including Product Engineering, Design, Business Units, Reliability, and Supply Chain—while partnering directly with foundries to resolve issues, improve process capability, and deliver against aggressive product milestones.
This is an individual contributor role with significant scope and visibility. It is well‑suited for someone with a strong fab or foundry background who enjoys hands‑on technical ownership, data‑driven decision making, and influencing outcomes across organizations.
The Person
You are a self‑starter who thrives in a dynamic, fast‑changing environment. You are naturally curious, detail‑oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple priorities. You communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical partners and are effective at building alignment across teams.
You bring a strong foundry or fab mindset, understand how manufacturing realities impact product success, and are motivated by solving complex problems end‑to‑end. Collaboration, adaptability, and a positive, proactive attitude are just as important as technical depth for success in this role.
