AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE: 

The AMD Cores Methodology Team is seeking a new team member to own the design, specification, and implementation of future core clock macros and methodologies to help create the next generation Zen CPU core for future iterations of Epyc™ servers and Ryzen™ desktop/notebook computers.  As a member of our team, you’ll be responsible for collaborating with experts across various aspects of the CPU design flow in the most advanced process nodes.  In our group, your work will have an immediate impact on multiple ongoing projects.

THE PERSON:  

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/time zones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

Develop initial circuit schematics and work closely with layout designers to drive designs to completion (including physical verification and backend/reliability flows), taking into account dynamic/static power consumption and design rout ability.

• Drive design and layout reviews to ensure quality of deliverables and mitigate overall risk.
• Perform circuit analysis incorporating process variation and IR impact.
• Deliver detailed specifications & documentation.
• Work closely with various disciplines (e.g. Layout, Logical Design, Physical Design, and Design Verification) to ensure successful cross-team engagement and high-quality execution.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Knowledge of high performance and low power circuit design, electrical analysis and PPA optimization.
• Strong understanding of the impact of variation on design performance
• Solid knowledge of industry-standard tools and practices (e.g., HSPICE simulator, Cadence design environment)
• Familiarity with Perl, Python, Tcl and/or MATLAB
• Familiarity of Verilog syntax, liberty models and variation format.
• Experience with Unix/Linux environments
• Great team player with good verbal and written communication skills

 ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering.
