WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING

We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.

AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

In this role you will be given an opportunity to work on the next generation technology that will be part of future AMD Microprocessors powering Servers and Personal Computers as well as Graphics Cards and VR sets. The NBIO FEINT/Implementation team is responsible for Synthesis, Timing closure/CDC/LINT/ DFx for very high speed (>2G) design with complex I/O clocking. This team deals with multiple I/O protocols including PCIe, SATA, Ethernet & Infinity Fabric link-layer. This team is a group of highly experienced ASIC design engineers working on High speed (>2G) designs with very complex clocking infrastructures. The team owns implementation activities including Synthesis & DFT, floorplan, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, STA closure. The team will work on cutting edge IP for these I/O protocols to achieve physical implementation with best PPA, including developing reference floorplans, implementation scripts for SoCs worldwide, and support SoCs worldwide.

THE PERSON:
As an experienced engineer, you will be working with a diverse team of physical design engineers, RTL design engineers, and managers from NBIO IP team. You will drive implementation of IP through the entire design flow to achieve best quality & PPA, while shortening the overall development schedule. This role provides an excellent growth opportunity for robust individuals looking to make a difference. This is an exciting time to join the AMD team!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• We are currently looking for a member of technical staff who will focus on RTL quality checks (LINT/CDC/RDC/Timing) and RTL optimization based on feed-back to RTL designers.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong understanding of frontend RTL static checks: clock domain crossing (CDC), Reset domain crossing (RDC) and Verilog linting.
• Experience with IP frontend CAD tools, Lint, CDC, RDC (Questa 0-in, Spyglass)
• Good understanding of Verilog language and mixed signal logic design. Good understanding of timing and Synthesis in preferred.
• Knowledge of EDA tools in the area of CDC, RDC, PTPX, STA, LINT Synthesis, DFT & scripting in TCL, Python

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• B.S. or M.S in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent) is preferred

LOCATION:Markham, ON or Vancouver, BC
