Job description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING

We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—building blocks for data centers, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming, and embedded systems. 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:

AMD is looking for a candidate to design the layout for digital and analog circuits based on schematics using industry-leading CAD tools and cutting-edge foundry technology. Examples of layouts designed by our team include Phase Locked Loop (PLL), Delay Locked Loop (DLL), Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), Current Regulator, High-Speed Differential Signaling circuitry, Droop Detect, and Die Crack Monitor. Proficiency in 2D layout design with the ability to visualize in 3D space is ideal for this position. Knowledge of digital and analog circuitry at the CMOS transistor level is useful.

THE PERSON:

An experienced Analog Layout Design Engineer should be innovative, collaborative, meticulous, and curious.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Layout of basic digital and analog building blocks using analog transistor-level components.
• Layout of analog macros, power pads, and input/output pads using above blocks.
• Collaborate closely with analog designers in floorplanning; power grid and signal flow planning.
• Perform physical and electrical verification including DRC, LVS, EM/IR, ERC, PERC, latch-up, and ESD checks.
• Create blackbox models for other groups in the design flow.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Detailed knowledge of CMOS circuit theory.
• Ability to communicate with various teams to articulate specifications and layout requirements.
• Experience in layout design and verification using Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor Calibre tools.
• At least 5 years of relevant or comparable experience in analog layout design.
• Knowledge of chip-level integration and ESD concepts is a plus.
• Experience with LVS, DRC, ERC, ANT, ESD, latch-up, EMIR, and reliability.
• Understanding of signal and clock shielding and isolation techniques.
• Ability to work well as part of a team.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field, or an Associate’s Degree in Engineering.
