Today, AMD celebrates International Women In Engineering Day to recognize the outstanding achievements of women engineers across the globe and in the semiconductor industry.
The AMD Women's Forum strives to recruit, retain, and promote women in the company. This employee resource group hosted a panel in Austin, Texas last week to discuss navigating technical careers. Here are notable bits of advice from those four engineers.
"Building your brand is like letting people know more about your skills by making yourself stand out a bit while having interactions with other technical leaders." — Kathy Hoover, Fellow, Silicon Design Engineer and Power Optimization Lead
"Noting all of your technical achievements throughout your years of work makes it easier for you to prepare your technical promotion packages." — Sarah Bartaszewicz Tower, Fellow, Cores Design
"Development plans are a very unique thing at AMD that I absolutely love. AMD gives us the opportunity to dedicate time out of your daily work to go do anything that you want to do to grow yourself as a better engineer 'career-wise' and invest in your interests, changing roles as you go." — Denise Friesenhahn, Senior Director, Quality & Chief of Staff
"Collaboration is a core part of the AMD culture, and when you're collaborative, you are accountable to each other, as engineers and leaders." — Renee Parente, Business Operations Director, Technology and Product Engineering & TPE Chief of Staff, AMD Women’s Forum lead
At AMD, we support and celebrate women in engineering who "run towards hard problems" — as CEO and engineer Lisa Su says — and build solutions for the world's most important challenges.
