Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

As a member of AMD's Cores organization, you will help verify the cache subsystems powering the world's leading processors. Working closely with architecture, RTL design, and physical design teams, you will take ownership of functional verification for L2 and L3 cache designs from block level through full-chip integration, driving programs to tape-out with confidence.

THE PERSON:

A successful candidate is a individual contributor who remains deeply hands-on. The candidate will have expert C++ skills, a strong understanding of cache architecture and coherence protocols, and a track record of delivering clean verification sign-off on high-performance processor designs. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to influence across teams without formal authority are essential.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own functional verification of L2 and L3 cache subsystems across block, cluster, and full-chip hierarchies.
• Design and build C++ verification infrastructure including behavioral reference models, scoreboards, and checkers.
• Develop C and assembly test programs to validate cache coherence, replacement policies, and architectural corner cases.
• Drive regression quality and coverage closure to tape-out standards.
• Serve as the technical authority in design reviews and sign-off readiness assessments.
• Apply AI-assisted tools and workflows as part of an innovative, modern verification practice.
• Mentor peers and elevate team quality through code reviews and technical discussion.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Very Experienced in functional verification on high-performance CPU or complex ASIC/SoC designs.
• Expert C++ programming skills with experience building large-scale verification environments.
• Strong understanding of cache architecture, coherence protocols, and memory hierarchy.
• Proficiency in Python or Perl scripting for test automation and coverage analysis.
• Familiarity with industry-standard RTL simulation and debug tools.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science preferred.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
