MTS Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Austin, TX

About The Position

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 definition, design, verification, and/or documentation for ASIC development; determines architecture and logic design or system simulation; defines module interfaces and formats for simulation; and leads multidimensional designs involving complex integrated-circuit layouts. The engineer evaluates the process flow from high-level designs through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power use. The role 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. It exercises independent judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria, and applies engineering principles, best practices, and technology to the design, development, and testing of AMD products. No travel is required. Multiple openings are available.

Requirements

Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
One year of experience in the job offered or a closely related engineering role.
One year of experience with design in sub-micron processes.
One year of experience implementing CPU/GPU architectures for PPA work.
One year of experience with power-analysis and measurement tools, including Prime Power or Power-Artist.
One year of experience with high-performance clocking.
One year of experience with STA methodologies for timing closure and OCV.
One year of experience with Perl, Tcl, and Python scripting languages.
One year of experience with data analysis and interpretation.
One year of experience with logic, circuit design, and CAD tools for high-performance CPU and/or GPU architecture design.
