Production Planner and Controller
About the job
- Three to six years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing production planning and control within a supply chain organization.
- Experience in outsourcing, OSAT management, or a related design house.
- Ability to communicate verbally and in writing in English and Chinese.
- Bachelor's degree or above in business, material management, industrial engineering, or production control.
- Analyze supply-demand matching, identify root causes of shortages, and drive actions to close the gap.
- Own products and projects end to end, meeting production supply targets from wafer fabrication output through finished-goods pack-out.
- Manage OSATs and drive throughput and efficiency.
- Manage planning parameters and collaborate with engineering and industrial engineering to close gaps and improve the supply plan and supply execution.
- Simulate supply-planning scenarios for new product introduction and sustaining production, including capacity and hardware planning, planning indices such as yield, inventory release, and units per hour, materials such as wafers and substrates, bills of materials, and manufacturing process flows.
- Track and monitor supply capability, including advising on solutions for risk mitigation.
- Track and manage work-in-progress movement, cycle time, and held or aged materials in OSATs daily.
- Lead communications, coordinate cross-functional internal and external teams, and drive actions to resolve excursions and recover supply.
About the company
AMD designs processors, graphics chips and AI accelerators for computer makers, cloud operators and businesses that build electronic devices. Its Ryzen processors power personal computers, while EPYC processors handle work in data centers and Radeon chips render graphics. Instinct accelerators run AI models, paired with software that developers use to train models and put them into production. AMD sells chips and related computing systems through equipment makers, distributors and retail channels, and contracts with outside foundries to fabricate its semiconductor designs. It was founded in 1969 and has its headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Data centers drive growth: AMD's revenue rose 50% to $11.5 billion in the June 2026 quarter.
- US learning support is conditional: AMD reimburses up to $5,250 yearly for education, subject to manager approval and funding.
- Planned demand has an anchor: AMD's July 2026 Anthropic deal targets up to two gigawatts of computing from 2027.
What critics are saying
- Advanced chip supply relies on one foundry: TSMC makes all AMD processor and graphics wafers at 7nm or smaller.
- Gaming is shrinking despite AI growth: AMD's gaming revenue fell 31% to $779 million in the June 2026 quarter.
- Lab work limits location flexibility: AMD lists its Santa Clara optical-interconnect integration engineer role as on-site.
What makes AMD unique
- Two console families use its designs: AMD designs custom processors for Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series.
- Developers inspect its GPU software: AMD's ROCm stack is open source, while Nvidia's CUDA platform remains proprietary.
- Chip circuitry stays adjustable: AMD sells adaptive processors whose hardware configuration changes after manufacture, without replacing the chip.
