  • Familiarity with industry EDA tools such as PrimeTime, Fusion Compiler, or Innovus
  • Experience with structured data including SQL, JSON, and REST APIs
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl
  • Understanding of CPU microarchitecture is preferred

Responsibilities

  • Leverage AI and ML capabilities to develop methods and tools for analyzing and optimizing CPU core PPA across the design hierarchy.
  • Accelerate convergence across synthesis, floorplanning, place-and-route, timing closure, and signoff using AI-driven techniques.
  • Build and maintain structured databases and web-based dashboards to track and visualize design metrics for multi-tile CPU implementations.
  • Develop and improve physical design methodologies and customize EDA tool recipes throughout implementation steps.
  • Collaborate with geographically distributed teams across design, CAD, and architecture.

Benefits

  • AMD provides a competitive 'Total Rewards' package that focuses on financial growth, health, and work-life balance.
