We are seeking an RTL Power Design Specialist to join our Security IP (SECIP) design team. The team is responsible for the design and verification of a wide range of embedded microprocessor (MP) subsystems and hardware accelerators that are critical to enhancing performance, functionality, and efficiency for System-on-Chip (SoC) products across all AMD business units, including client computing, server, graphics, and gaming platforms.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with SoC power leads to define IP-level power specifications, establish and track power targets, and drive power optimization efforts in partnership with IP power design and power measurement teams. You will also work with the corporate power methodology team, SoC teams, and IP design teams to develop and enhance advanced power design and measurement methodologies and flows.

Your expertise will play a key role in enabling IP teams to achieve aggressive power targets across a diverse range of designs and applications while maintaining high performance and product quality.

We are looking for a highly motivated RTL Power Design Specialist with a proven track record of technical leadership, ownership, and execution. The ideal candidate is an innovative and analytical engineer who is passionate about solving complex problems, driving continuous improvement, and developing efficient, scalable solutions. They proactively identify risks, troubleshoot technical challenges, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

The successful candidate thrives in collaborative settings, enjoys mentoring and supporting team members, and demonstrates strong attention to detail. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, combined with effective cross-functional collaboration and strong interpersonal skills, are essential for success in this role.

• Develop and maintain RTL-level IP power specifications, and align IP power architecture and solutions with SoC power requirements in partnership with SoC, IP functional design, and power design teams.
• Define, track, and drive IP power targets by correlating power design intent with measurement results and identifying optimization opportunities.
• Collaborate with verification teams to develop power vectors for simulation-based power measurements.
• Partner with static power measurement teams to develop and maintain power regression infrastructure, monitor power health metrics, debug power-related issues, and analyze results to drive design improvements.
• Work with corporate power methodology and SoC power teams to adopt advanced power architecture, design, analysis, and measurement methodologies to meet the SoC power requirements.
• Contribute to corporate power methodology development and, as an advanced team member, influence the SoC power team's IP-level power strategy.
• Provide technical leadership in power architecture, design, analysis, and measurement methodology development, while mentoring team members and promoting best practices across projects.

• Proficiency in Verilog/System Verilog and scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, Perl, and Ruby, as well as Makefile-based development environments.
