Sr. Silicon Design Engineer

Job Role and Responsibility

AMD, Inc. is hiring Sr. Silicon Design Engineer to research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, employing knowledge of electronic theory. Oversee definition, design, verification, and/or documentation for ASIC development. Determine architecture design, logic design, and/or system simulation. Define module interfaces/formats for simulation. Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits.

Evaluate all aspects of the process flow from high‑level designs to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power use. Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and others to understand the new features to be verified. Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases. Build the directed and random verification tests.

Debug test failures to determine the root cause. Work with RTL engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues. Review functional and code coverage metrics – modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements. Work in an area of specialization to develop ASIC/layout design, working on problems where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors.

Utilize knowledge of computers and electronics, including circuit boards, processors, chips, and electronic equipment, as well as knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles. Apply knowledge of engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of various AMD products.
