The engineer will also contribute to the development of complex integrated circuits and maintain performance benchmarks for the Infinity Fabric IP. This position requires a strong understanding of electronic theory and engineering principles.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • One year of experience as a Design Engineer or closely related engineering occupation.
  • Experience in performing signature triage, debugging regression failures, and implementing verification solutions.
  • Experience in hardware verification.
  • Experience in test plan development and testbench implementation.
  • Knowledge of GPU, CPU, or SoC architecture.
  • Proficiency in Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL.
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, or TCL.
  • Familiarity with design flows and methodologies used for chip verification.
  • Experience in Unix or Linux environments.

Responsibilities

  • Research, design, develop, and test electronic components and systems for semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Perform definition, design, verification, and documentation for ASIC development.
  • Determine architecture design, logic design, and system simulation.
  • Define module interfaces and formats for simulation.
  • Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving complex integrated circuits.
  • Develop and maintain performance microbenchmarks for the Infinity Fabric IP.
  • Debug performance bottlenecks in RTL simulations at IP or SOC level.
  • Evaluate all aspects of the process flow from high-level designs to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power use.
  • Utilize knowledge of computers and electronics, including circuit boards, processors, chips, and electronic equipment.
  • Apply knowledge of engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of AMD products.

Benefits

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