AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.



The Role

We are seeking a lead Physical Design Engineer to ensure that CPU Cores and SOC meet Thermal requirements and Silicon Performance. This is a technical role focusing on Physical design methodology requirements for power and thermals across IPs.



The Person

You will be a proven technical leader with the ability to drive cross-functional alignment and execution across architecture, physical design implementation, package modeling teams, ensuring timely closure and multi-dimensional alignment of power, thermal management and performance constraints. You will also be highly organized and execution-driven, with demonstrated success owning end-to-end technical work streams and driving closure of open issues, risks, and dependencies across program milestones.

Key Responsiblities

• Drive development and alignment of thermal modeling methodology, collaborating with Package modeling teams across AMD products.
• Drive new design and analysis methodologies to improve product thermal profile.
• Translate product usage model, workload, and package requirements into IP performance, power, and thermal constraints and align with product performance-power models.
• Drive thermal product requirements cross-function, managing critical deliverables at key project milestones.

• Strong Physical Design background with extensive EDA tool experience.
• Excellent knowledge of physical design power and performance metrics, and experience in high-performance SoC/IP design.
• Familiarity with package models and advance packaging designs.
• Familiarity collaborating with pre‑silicon design and package modeling teams and aligning architecture assumptions/targets with projections.
• Expertise in scripting and flow automation.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
