Sr. Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Santa Clara, CA

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 performs definition, design, verification, and/or documentation for ASIC development, including architecture and logic design, system simulation, and defining module interfaces and formats for simulation. It contributes to multidimensional designs involving complex integrated-circuit layouts. The position develops and maintains performance microbenchmarks for Infinity Fabric IP, debugs performance bottlenecks in RTL simulations at IP or SoC level, and develops and maintains IP performance-debug tools. It evaluates process flows from high-level designs through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power use. The role applies engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of AMD products. Multiple openings are available. No travel is required.
