ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

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 looking for a seasoned Design Verification Engineer who will be part of the performance verification team working on next generation of a complex multi-subsystem IP(NBIO Org) for client, server, embedded, graphics, and semi-custom chips. The role involves working directly on multiple industrial standards like PCIe, CXL, I/O Virtualizations, Memory management as well as x86/ARM SoC architectures. This is a multidisciplinary function/role, working in a close collaboration with IP design and verification managers, system Architects, SOC verification and validation teams on performance aspects of the multi-subsystem IP. We also work closely with performance architects and modelling teams to execute case studies to help HW Architects to drive the design and features definition for the next generation of products.

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/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with performance architects, design and verification engineers to understand the new performance features to be verified.
• Create test plan documentation, based on use cases defined by hardware designers and architects, coordinate technical reviews within the team
• Drive regression triage meetings with team, and drive daily scrum for various projects as well as manage backlogs and planning
• Actively involved in developing new ideas to improve the engineering infrastructure, methodology and execution
• Provide technical support to the team to debug both functional and performance test failures to determine the problem’s root cause.
• Work with RTL designers and SoC/IP Architects to resolve HW and configuration related performance issues
• Analyze and review performance results with SoC/Chip leads and suggest potential solutions.
• Work on performance case studies with Performance architects, facilitating research through generating results and scripts to analyze results
• Write detailed reports to publish performance results and present them in various management readouts

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools
• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
• Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++
• Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
• Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment
• Exposure to simulation profile, efficiency improvement, acceleration, HLS tools/process
• Strong background in the C++ language, preferably on Linux with exposure to Windows platform
• Good understanding and hands-on experience in the UVM concepts and SystemVerilog language
• Good working knowledge of SystemC and TLM with some related experience.
• Scripting language experience: Perl, Ruby, Makefile, shell preferred.
• Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset
