MTS Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•San Jose, CA

About The Position

Xilinx, Inc., a subsidiary of AMD, 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 the definition, design, verification, and documentation of ASIC development; designs electronic circuits and components; and determines architecture, logic design, and system simulation. It defines module interfaces and simulation formats, leads multidimensional designs involving complex integrated-circuit layouts, and evaluates process flows from high-level designs through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power use. The engineer works with cross-functional teams on ASIC and layout design, handles complex issues requiring in-depth evaluation of variable factors, and drives projects or processes of significant technical importance. The role exercises independent judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria, applies expertise in computers and electronics to resolve complex issues, and uses engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to design, develop, and test AMD products. No travel is required.
