Sr. Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Austin, TX

About The Position

AMD, Inc. is hiring a Sr. Silicon Design Engineer to research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing. The role employs knowledge of electronic theory and supports ASIC development through definition, design, verification, and documentation. Responsibilities include determining architecture and logic designs, conducting system simulations, defining module interfaces and simulation formats, and contributing to 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, and applies engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of AMD products. The role addresses problems of moderate scope requiring analysis of a variety of factors. Under supervision, the engineer exercises limited judgment within defined company procedures and practices to select methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria. Multiple openings are available. No travel is required.
