About The Position

Join Customer's Emulation and Prototyping Methodology team and help define how next‑generation products are validated and delivered. In this role, you will shape advanced hardware/software methodologies and tools that accelerate product readiness across RTL validation, debugging, and pre‑/post‑silicon workflows. You will partner closely with engineering leaders across the company to build scalable, efficient, and forward‑looking approaches that improve productivity and enable rapid innovation.

Requirements

• Strong analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to drive solutions in complex technical environments.
• Experience with one or more emulation/prototyping platforms (e.g., Veloce, Palladium, Protium, Zebu, HAPS).
• Understanding of CPU/GPU architecture and protocols such as PCIe, DRAM, Ethernet, AMBA, or CXL.
• Background in RTL design, verification, or embedded firmware/BIOS.
• Proficiency in System Verilog, C++, Perl, or Python, or the ability to learn them quickly.
• Familiarity with transactors and C‑DPI methodologies for emulation.
• Experience with waveform analysis tools (e.g., Verdi or Visualizer).
• Awareness of hybrid emulation technologies.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross‑functional collaboration to develop and deploy methodologies that optimize emulation and prototyping environments and improve time‑to‑market.
• Apply platform knowledge to address challenges across infrastructure, design implementation, firmware, and software workloads.
• Research, evaluate, and integrate new technologies that enhance pre‑silicon validation efficiency and scalability.
• Partners with vendors to define and deploy platforms that meet performance goals (compile time, runtime, capacity, test execution).
• Integrate and enable verification interfaces including PCIe, memory device models, UART, JTAG, I2C, USB, and Ethernet.
• Leverage ML/AI techniques to scale and automate emulation workflows.
• Work closely with EDA partners to incorporate emerging capabilities into AMD's development environment
