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.

Job Role and Responsibility: AMD, Inc., is hiring Analog Designer to Research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, employing knowledge of electronic theory. Defining, specifying, and implementing designs for the next generation of high-speed GDDR and high-speed clocking (PLLs) IP on advanced technologies for future generations of AMD’s products. Designing, modelling, simulating, and characterizing high-speed signal propagation and power delivery networks in AMD products. Using simulations to ensure packaging and PCB’s are optimally designed and meet speed requirements. Reviewing layouts to determine any areas that require additional refinement. Extracting models for package, PCB, and Sockets from vendors, collecting standardized models, and running through simulation. Running channel simulations to generate performance numbers; evaluating those numbers against the specified parameters. Evaluating project work to ensure effectiveness, technical adequacy, or compatibility in the resolution of complex electronics engineering problems. Analyzing electronics system requirements, capacity, cost, or customer needs to determine project feasibility. Utilizing knowledge of computers and electronics, including circuit boards, processors, chips, and electronic equipment, as well as knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles.
