Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: As part of the AECG ASIC/Custom silicon team, we are looking for an adaptive, self-motivative Front-End silicon design engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD's abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market. THE PERSON: As a Front-End silicon design engineer/SOC RTL Integration Engineer/Lead, you will work with chip architects to conceive design, help with architecture/product definition through early involvement in the product life-cycle. KEY RESPONSIBLITIES: Convert chip spec to RTL using internal and external IPs Plan/deliver IP level RTL, and implement front-end RTL integration Experience in ASIC/SoC front-end (preferably RTL Verilog and VHDL based) design and methodologies. Knowledge in frontend design experience on IPs involve processor based sub-system, Serial Standard interfaces, Memory controllers Exposure to Low-power design, System Security considered as added advantage Hands on front-end design of complex multi clock domain blocks Fluency in design & verification languages such as VHDL, Verilog, and System Verilog. Good in scripting, ie. TCL, shell script, Perl, Python Experience in Spyglass for lint and CDC checks. Experience in synthesis and LEC flow. Experience in identifying and implementing complex ECO in netlist. Defining and debugging SDC timing constraints. Knowledge on Verification Methodologies to actively participate in Debug Analysis. Knowledge about system level flows and interaction with Firmware and Software would be added advantage. Optimize the design to meet power, performance, area and timing requirements Write easily readable and synthesizable Verilog RTL Run unit level testing to deliver quality code to the Design Verification Team Create assertions to improve coverage and cover points to analyze coverage of the design Create well written block level design documentation Participate in post silicon functional and performance debug and tuning Self-driven and capable for independent work and independent decision making. Mentor junior engineers PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Hands on experience in RTL coding required, including IP RTL integration Strong understanding of SOC like clocking, reset, boot and power management flows, low power design techniques, security Expertise with quality checks like CDC, Lint, VCLP, LEC Strong technical engineer who communicates well with great collaboration skills Experience in RISC-V, NOC, DMA, bus interfaces ie. APB, AHB, AXI, OBI Experience in IPs like PCIe & DDR4/5 will be an advantage Experience in packet processing, wireless protocols etc. Experience in wireless, base station protocols will be helpful (CPRI, JESD, Uplink/Downlink) would be helpful. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering.
