Staff Silicon Design Engineer

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Boxborough, MA

About The Position

AMD's strategic focus is on developing one-of-a-kind solutions through its Strategic Silicon Solutions (S3) based on the extensive set of intellectual property (IP) amassed across AMD processors, graphics and multimedia. Providing to customers a level of flexibility and differentiation that goes beyond standard AMD products, our business unit takes AMD to a new level of customer-centric design by integrating these building blocks with customer-specific IP to create tailor-made solutions using a flexible System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design methodology. As a Senior Member of the Technical Staff for the pre-silicon IP design team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design verification, SOC design/verification, DFT, physical design and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success. As an IP Design lead, you will guide a team of design engineers through technical challenges, ensure the team delivers to its commitments, and enables the program to be successful.

Requirements

Significant full-time experience in IP hardware design
Experience in subsystem development with embedded processors and data fabric architectures
Prior technical leadership experience, subject matter expert
Prior team leadership experience (small/mid-sized team)
Experience with 3rd party IP integration
Proficiency in verilog/system verilog RTL logic design of high-speed, multi-clock digital designs
Power saving techniques, including clock gating and UPF-based power gating
Detailed understanding of ASIC design flows
Verilog simulation and lint tools
CDC/RDC concepts and tools
Outstanding problem-solving and analytical skills
Outstanding interaction skills while communicating both written and verbally
Ability to work with multi-level functional teams across various geographies
Highly organized, able to prioritize and balance multiple work streams while working to meet and exceed goals

Responsibilities

Provide guidance on technical issues faced by the design team
Planning team deliverables throughout the program
Design of IP subsystems with integration of AMD and other 3rd party IP (ARM, DSPs, NOCs )
Contribute to the specification and quality checks (lint, CDC, and power rule checks) of power-gated digital designs
Work collaboratively with other members of the IP team to support design verification, implementation (synthesis, constraints, static timing analysis), and delivery to SOC
Work in partnership with SOC teams to support the IP at SOC level, including connectivity, DFT, verification, physical design, firmware, and post-silicon bring-up
