Job description

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:
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Silicon Design Engineer to join our AECG SIT team. This role involves leading and contributing to the design, integration, and characterization of advanced silicon testchips for FPGA products across cutting-edge process nodes.
THE PERSON:
You are an expert in IC design and manufacturing including analog/digital IP integration, chip design, silicon process or packaging technologies. A good understanding of device physics, reliability and silicon chip manufacturing is essential. The candidate must also demonstrate effective communication, good interpersonal skills, along with a strong interest in emerging technologies and innovation.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Define micro-architecture specifications from high-level architectural requirements and implement Verilog/SystemVerilog code for such digital modules.
  • Drive the timing-aware/physical-aware synthesis flow using industry-standard tools (e.g., Design Compiler) to generate optimized netlists.
  • Lead Static Timing Analysis (STA) runs using e.g. PrimeTime to validate setup/hold margins across process corners.
  • Develop comprehensive verification plans and write testbenches. Expertise in SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and UVM are preferred.
  • Assist with post-silicon bring-up, debugging, and lab-based validation activities.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Good understanding of circuit design, semiconductor device physics, and device reliability.
  • Experience in designing and validating circuits across advanced technology nodes, including FinFET and Gate-All-Around (GAA).
  • Familiar with digital P&R design flow, RTL coding (Verilog/System Verilog) and design verification (Design Compiler, STA, SVA, UVM, EM-IR).
  • Strong problem-solving skills with hands-on experience in silicon bring-up and the use of lab bench test equipment is a plus.
  • Proficient in C/C++ or Python for programming and scripting.
  • Experience with PCB/package design and signal/power integrity (SI/PI) analysis is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Preferably holds an advanced degree (PhD or MS) in electrical & electronics engineering or physical sciences; alternatively, a bachelor's degree with several years of relevant industry experience is acceptable.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
