ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. 

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. 

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:

AMD's strategic focus is on developing one-of-a-kind solutions through its Strategic Silicon Solutions (S3) based on the extensive set of intellectual property (IP) amassed across AMD processors, graphics and multimedia. Providing to customers a level of flexibility and differentiation that goes beyond standard AMD products, our business unit takes AMD to a new level of customer-centric design by integrating these building blocks with customer-specific IP to create tailor-made solutions using a flexible System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design methodology.

THE PERSON:

As a Senior Member of the Technical Staff for the pre-silicon IP design team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design verification, SOC design/verification, DFT, physical design and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success. As an IP Design lead, you will guide a team of design engineers through technical challenges, ensure the team delivers to its commitments, and enables the program to be successful. 

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• Provide guidance on technical issues faced by the design team
• Planning team deliverables throughout the program
• Design of IP subsystems with integration of AMD and other 3rd party IP (ARM, DSPs, NOCs )
• Contribute to the specification and quality checks (lint, CDC, and power rule checks) of power-gated digital designs
• Work collaboratively with other members of the IP team to support design verification, implementation (synthesis, constraints, static timing analysis), and delivery to SOC
• Work in partnership with SOC teams to support the IP at SOC level, including connectivity, DFT, verification, physical design, firmware, and post-silicon bring-up

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Significant full-time experience in IP hardware design
• Experience in subsystem development with embedded processors and data fabric architectures
• Prior technical leadership experience, subject matter expert
• Prior team leadership experience (small/mid-sized team)
• Experience with 3rd party IP integration
• Proficiency in verilog/system verilog RTL logic design of high-speed, multi-clock digital designs
• Power saving techniques, including clock gating and UPF-based power gating
• Detailed understanding of ASIC design flows
• Verilog simulation and lint tools 
• CDC/RDC concepts and tools
• Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills
• Outstanding interaction skills while communicating both written and verbally
• Ability to work with multi-level functional teams across various geographies
• Highly organized, able to prioritize and balance multiple work streams while working to meet and exceed goals

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
