Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

The Role

As a member of the Radeon Technologies Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs.As a member of the front-end design/integration team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

The Person

As a DFx Verification Engineer, you will be primarily responsible for verification of architecture, design, and implementation of critical Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) features for cutting edge AMD products and will be working with a team of design engineers from various global design locations on design-for-test (DFT) design and implementation, tool and methodology development, project execution and continuous improvement initiatives, this role provides an excellent growth opportunity for robust individuals looking to make a difference.

Key Responsiblities

• Implementation and verification of DFT architecture and features
• Collaborate with architects, design engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new DFT features to be verified
• Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
• Build the directed and random DFT verification tests
• Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL/DFT and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
• Analyze and enhance legacy DFT test plans to accommodate new Design for Debug feature developments
• Recreate post-silicon failures in pre-silicon environment
• Conduct silicon debug and root cause analysis with minimal logging support
• Utilize JTAG protocols for debugging and validation

Preferred Experience

• 8+ years of experience in DFT Design Verification with strong debug capabilities
• Experienced with SystemVerilog/UVM testbench development for complex SoCs Including GLS & SDF verifications
• Advanced scripting skills (Python, Perl, etc.) for automation and testbench infrastructure
• Deep knowledge of digital design, RTL design, and verification flows
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical debugging skills with ability to debug without logs
• Ability to quickly adapt to complex infrastructure environments
• Excellent hands-on debug skills and attention to detail
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools
• Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset
