MTS Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Boxborough, MA

About The Position

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 the definition, design, verification, and/or documentation of ASIC development; determines architecture and logic design or system simulation; and defines module interfaces and formats for simulation. It leads multidimensional design work involving complex integrated-circuit layouts and evaluates the process flow 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, handling complex issues that require in-depth evaluation of variable factors. The position drives projects or processes of significant technical importance and applies independent judgment to select methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria. It uses knowledge of computers and electronics, engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to resolve complex issues and design, develop, and test AMD products. Travel is not required.

Requirements
