Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

Join our team to architect and develop cutting-edge hardware/software co-design solutions for FPGA-based acceleration across a wide range of applications—such as networking, storage, automotive, aerospace, and emerging AI/ML workloads. You will design high-performance hardware acceleration engines and embedded software that orchestrates them, enabling next-generation compute platforms.

THE PERSON:

You are passionate about modern processor architecture, digital design, and system-level validation. You thrive in collaborative environments, communicate effectively across global teams, and bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You are eager to learn and tackle complex technical challenges.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Participate in a technical role in all phases of the product development cycle from new product exploration, architecture through implementation, prototyping, validation, productization and support including but not limited to architecture, design, and documentation for IPsCollaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be developedRTL Development:
Design, verify, and validate high-performance logic using System Verilog/Verilog. You will focus on the data and control path, implementing interfaces for PCIe (Gen 6/7), CXL, UAL, Ethernet, and DDR5/6

Embedded System Development:
Develop firmware and low-level system software for the on-chip ARM Cortex (APU/RPU) or RISC-V soft cores. This includes managing inter-processor communication (IPC), DMA orchestration, and secure boot System Level Integration:
Utilize the AMD (Xilinx) Vivado and Vitis ecosystems to integrate custom IP with the Network on Chip (NoC), memory and other subsystems

Pre-Si Verification:
Perform pre-silicon verification and emulation to ensure functional correctness and performance

Post-Si Validation:
Lead the “Bring-up” process in the lab. Perform post-silicon validation, debugging complex interactions between the embedded software, hard IPs and FPGA hardware fabric

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Hands-on experience with FPGAsRTL Expertise:
Expert in System Verilog/Verilog, synchronous design, and timing closure for high-speed logic

Firmware/Software:
Strong C/C++ skills for bare-metal or RTOS programming on ARM/RISC-V cores. Linux kernel-mode driver development experience is a strong plus Protocols:
Deep knowledge of PCIe, AXI, DDR, and Ethernet. Familiarity with CXL or UAL is highly desirable

Verification:
Familiarity with UVM-based verification frameworks and emulation platforms (Palladium, Protium, Zebu)
Validation:
Proficiency with ILAs, high-speed oscilloscopes, and protocol analyzers for hardware debugging

Tools:
Proficiency in Python, Tcl, Makefiles, and shell scripting for automationACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical EngineeringALTERNATE

LOCATION:

Longmont, COThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.#LI-RL1
