AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE: 

We are seeking an individual interested in creating hardware validation platforms and debugging complex issues involving both hardware and software. 

Our team develops hardware systems for pre-silicon and silicon validation of our advanced FPGA and ACAP families.  We use both commercial emulation systems and FPGA-based platforms for prototyping.  On silicon, we develop boards to functionally validate the latest silicon features. 

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is self-driven, methodical, and enjoys trouble-shooting / problem-solving.  The individual proactively seeks to address challenges across the team and project.  The person has excellent verbal and written communication skills.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop pre-silicon hardware model using commercial / custom prototyping or emulation platforms
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to debug issues found on both prototyping / emulation platforms and final silicon.
• Improve internal processes and innovate in the area of hardware prototyping and emulation.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Have worked with the leading emulation and prototyping vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor) to debug issues and deploy new capabilities
• Experience with Emulation of full-SoC design with embedded processors such as ARM Cortex A53, A72
• Experience building, running and debugging SoC system failures on emulation platforms (Zebu, Palladium or Veloce)
• Broad software debug experience with C/C++ and knowledge of low-level assembly programming languages
• Fluent in System Verilog and a familiarity with VHDL hardware design languages, simulation and debug
• Working knowledge of Linux environment
• Experience with scripting languages including Perl, Python, Unix shells and Makefiles
• Experience with Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC)
• Experience developing system or IP prototypes using FPGAs
• Experience using FPGA synthesis tools, including Synopsys Synplify
• Experience using Xilinx Ultrascale FPGAs, Vivado, and Vivado Debug
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces including QSFP, PCIe, USB, SATA, GB Ethernet, DDR3/4/5, LPDDR3/4, HBM
• Knowledge of devices including SPI, IIC, SD, NAND, QSPI
• Experience with FPGA-based validation designs based on embedded processors such as ARM Cortex A72 and other hard IP within Xilinx FPGAs and ACAPs  

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• BS, MS or PhD (Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related equivalent) 

LOCATION: 

San Jose, CA

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE (Please do not apply unless you have):

BS + 5 (or more) years of experience*, or MS + 3 (or more) years of experience, or PhD + 1 year of experience

* Experience is defined as post college and does not include internships

COMPENSATION:

Expected to range from $140,880 to $211,320, commensurate with experience and specific skill sets
