THE ROLE:

The focus of this role is to plan, build, and execute the verification of new and existing features for AMD’s graphics processor IP, resulting in no bugs in the final design.

THE ROLE:

Plan, build, and execute the verification of new and existing features for AMD’s graphics processor IP, resulting in no bugs in the final design.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites and time zones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers 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
• Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
• Build the directed and random verification tests
• Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware 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

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools
• Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
• Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++
• Assembly-level debugging ability.
• Scripting proficiency in Perl or Python (shell/Makefile/Ruby beneficial).
• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
• Practical experience with functional and code coverage analysis and closure.
• Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment.
• Build and improve verification frameworks, regression quality, and automation workflows.
• Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset
• Solves complex, novel, and non-recurring problems; initiates and leads significant method/process improvements.
• Owns processes of significant technical importance, including outcomes in own area and interdependent areas.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
