This role involves leading and contributing to the design, integration, and characterization of advanced silicon testchips for FPGA products across cutting-edge process nodes.
Requirements
- Expert in IC design and manufacturing including analog/digital IP integration, chip design, silicon process or packaging technologies.
- Good understanding of device physics, reliability and silicon chip manufacturing is essential.
- Effective communication skills.
- Good interpersonal skills.
- Strong interest in emerging technologies and innovation.
Nice To Haves
- Expertise in SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and UVM are preferred.
- Good understanding of circuit design, semiconductor device physics, and device reliability.
- Experience in designing and validating circuits across advanced technology nodes, including FinFET and Gate-All-Around (GAA).
- Familiar with digital P&R design flow, RTL coding (Verilog/System Verilog) and design verification (Design Compiler, STA, SVA, UVM, EM-IR).
- Strong problem‑solving skills with hands-on experience in silicon bring-up and the use of lab bench test equipment is a plus.
- Proficient in C/C++ or Python for programming and scripting.
- Experience with PCB/package design and signal/power integrity (SI/PI) analysis is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Define micro-architecture specifications from high-level architectural requirements and implement Verilog/SystemVerilog code for such digital modules.
- Drive the timing-aware/physical-aware synthesis flow using industry-standard tools (e.g., Design Compiler) to generate optimized netlists.
- Lead Static Timing Analysis (STA) runs using e.g. PrimeTime to validate setup/hold margins across process corners.
- Develop comprehensive verification plans and write testbenches.
- Assist with post‑silicon bring-up, debugging, and lab‑based validation activities.
Benefits
- AMD benefits at a glance.
