Job description

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

THE ROLE:

Join AMD's SOC design team and take technical ownership of the design and integration efforts that bring some of the industry's most advanced silicon to life. You'll work at the heart of the chip—integrating AMD and third-party IP, shaping SOC and IP feature enhancements, and driving decisions that influence top-level latency and performance.

You’ll guide a key area of the design while partnering closely with IP development, verification, front-end integration, and physical design teams. If you thrive on solving hard problems, seeing your work span from RTL to full-chip construction, and collaborating with talented engineers across the stack, this is where you’ll do the best work of your career.

THE PERSON:

You're a self-driven engineer with the initiative to own problems from start to finish. You bring excellent written and verbal communication skills, along with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities that help you navigate complex, cross-functional challenges.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Drive SOC-level design and integration
• Integrate IP, SOC-level fabric, voltage and clock crossings, clocks, resets, fuses, and I/O
• Develop RTL design and coding for various sections of the SOC and related logic
• Own SOC power design
• Perform static verification of the design (RTL, CDC, Power, Connectivity)
• Lead one of the domains listed above

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Verilog RTL development with industry tools in a CPU, SOC, or ASIC environment
• SOC integration and architecture understanding
• System bus protocol knowledge (e.g., AXI, PCIe)
• Power implementation methodology and UPF
• Static timing analysis
• Collaboration with physical design teams and awareness of physical design requirements
• Formal verification techniques and tools
• Scripting skills (Ruby, Perl, Shell, TCL) a plus

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech or equivalent in ECE/EEE
• Background in SOC design and Verilog RTL development preferred
