IREM Physical Design Engineer

The Role

Join a world‑class team driving power integrity solutions for AMD’s next‑generation SoCs and advanced packaging technologies. In this role, you’ll define and optimize power delivery networks, perform IR‑drop and EM analysis using industry‑leading tools, and shape design methodologies for cutting‑edge CPU/GPU products. You’ll partner closely with physical design, packaging, and CAD teams, gaining exposure to advanced 3

DIC integration and high‑performance compute challenges. This is an opportunity to influence architecture‑level decisions and work in a collaborative, innovation‑driven environment.

The ideal candidate is detail‑oriented, proactive, and thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment. Strong communication, problem‑solving, and a drive for continuous improvement are key. You are someone who enjoys debugging complex issues, collaborating with global teams, and developing automation to streamline workflows.

• Perform static/dynamic IR‑drop and EM analysis and drive closure across large‑scale SoCs.
• Define and optimize power grid architecture, including decap strategy and current distribution planning.
• Partner with physical design and packaging teams to align IR/EM signoff methodology with timing, floorplan, and system‑level requirements.
• Develop and validate power integrity models; ensure correlation across PD, STA, and EMIR tools.
• Debug IR/EM issues, improve analysis methodology, and enable automation (Python/Tcl).
• Provide clear risk assessments and implement ECOs to mitigate power integrity challenges.

• Experience with IR‑drop and EM analysis using tools such as Red Hawk or Voltus.
• Knowledge of power delivery network design at chip and system levels (including advanced packaging/3
  
  DIC).
• Familiarity with PnR flows, timing closure, and UPF/CPF power intent.
• Scripting experience in Python or Tcl for automation and debug.
• Strong understanding of signoff correlation across multiple analysis domains.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field preferred.
