AMD is seeking a highly motivated Senior Staff Silicon Design Engineer to join our Silicon Design Engineering organization and contribute to the development of next-generation high-performance computing, AI, and graphics products. In this role, you will be a key contributor to the front-end design and DFT methodology team, driving design-for-test architecture, implementation, and silicon validation across complex SoCs. You will collaborate closely with architecture, design, verification, physical design, product engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust testability, high-quality silicon execution, and first-pass silicon success.

This role offers the opportunity to influence DFT strategy and methodology while helping deliver industry-leading products to market.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned silicon engineer with strong expertise in Design-for-Test (DFT) architecture, implementation, and bring-up for complex semiconductor devices. You are a technical leader who thrives in a highly collaborative environment and can drive cross-functional efforts spanning design, verification, physical implementation, and product engineering. You possess excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, demonstrate attention to detail, and are comfortable owning critical technical deliverables throughout the product lifecycle.

You have a track record of independently driving complex projects, mentoring junior engineers, and influencing technical decisions across teams.

• Define, implement, and verify DFT architectures and test features for complex SoCs and IP subsystems.
• Drive scan insertion, ATPG generation, and test methodology development to achieve aggressive quality and coverage targets.
• Develop and execute gate-level simulation strategies for ATPG pattern validation and test readiness.
• Analyze test coverage, diagnose coverage gaps, and drive improvements in test quality, manufacturability, and test cost reduction.
• Partner with design, verification, physical design, and product engineering teams to ensure successful DFT implementation throughout the development cycle.
• Support silicon bring-up, manufacturing test execution, failure analysis, and yield improvement activities.
• Contribute to the development and deployment of scalable DFT methodologies, automation solutions, and best practices across projects.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to engineers across the organization.

• Strong understanding of the complete ASIC/SoC development flow, from RTL architecture through physical implementation and silicon bring-up.
• Proven experience implementing DFT solutions for large-scale SoCs, including scan, compression, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan, and related test technologies.
• Strong RTL design and integration experience using Verilog and System Verilog.
• Experience working with high-speed interfaces and complex…
