• Three years of experience in the job offered or closely related engineering role.
• Alternatively, a Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent and five years of experience in the job offered or closely related engineering role.
• Experience in modern computer architecture, including processor pipeline and memory hierarchy.
• Hands-on work in C++ programming for hardware modeling or testbench development.
• Experience in logic design and representing the same in HDL (Verilog or VHDL).
• Knowledge of assembly language programming and Instruction Set Architecture of a modern microprocessor.
• Familiarity with hardware verification methodology and techniques such as simulation, debug, coverage, or formal.
• Experience working in a Unix or Linux environment.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Ruby.
• Experience with hardware or logic simulators (VCS or NC-Verilog).
• Familiarity with debug tools or waveform viewers.
• Knowledge of verification languages (Specman, System Verilog, or UVM).
• Experience with formal verification tools and techniques.
• Ability to model hardware designs in emulators or FPGAs.

• Research, design, develop, and test electronic components and systems for semiconductor manufacturing.
• Perform pre-silicon functional verification of next-generation high-performance microprocessor designs.
• Develop and execute verification test plans at various levels of design hierarchy including unit and full-chip environments.
• Develop high-level language testbench components including stimulus drivers, BFMs, behavioral models, monitors, and checkers.
• Simulate and debug directed random stimulus and assembly level tests to identify bugs in the microprocessor design.
• Collaborate with RTL writers to resolve simulation failures and discrepancies.
• Develop and analyze assertions and coverage terms.
• Participate in technical reviews of specifications, design, and test plans.
• Identify and address areas of concern to meet design quality objectives.
• Develop tools, infrastructure, processes, and flows to enable functional verification.
• Document test plans and testbench component plans and drive reviews with peers and stakeholders.
• Maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
• Replicate silicon issues in the pre-silicon environment and provide debug expertise.
• Contribute towards and drive pre-silicon and/or post-silicon verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Drive project deliverables and dependencies with cross-site Architects, RTL writers, and Physical Design engineers.
• Independently develop quality, timely, and cost-effective solutions.

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