MTS Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•San Jose, CA

About The Position

Xilinx, Inc., a subsidiary of AMD, Inc., is hiring an MTS Silicon Design Engineer to research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing. The role oversees definition, design, verification, and documentation for custom mixed-signal design development, including architecture and logic design, system simulation, and defining module interfaces and formats for simulation. It leads multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits. The engineer participates in product bring-up and debug and contributes to test plans and characterization reports. The role evaluates the process flow from high-level designs through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power use. Working with cross-functional teams, the engineer addresses complex design issues, drives projects or processes of significant technical importance, and independently selects methods and evaluation criteria. The role applies engineering principles, best practices, and technology to the design, development, and testing of AMD products. Travel is not required. Multiple openings are available.

Requirements
