FPGA Validation Engineer – Embedded & RTL

AMD; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 190,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

AMD seeks an experienced FPGA design engineer to build and validate hardware/software co-design solutions for FPGA-based systems spanning PCIe, DDR, USB, HDMI, and more. You will design and verify high-performance IPs and develop embedded software for on-chip cores, while collaborating across sites and time zones to deliver robust bring-up and validation.

You will work with NoC, memory, and subsystems using Vivado/Vitis in a pre- and post-silicon context, with strong emphasis on timing, debug,

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters in computer engineering or electrical engineering.
• 8+ years of hands-on FPGA designs with AMD/Xilinx experience.
• Strong SystemVerilog, Verilog or VHDL with Vivado proficiency.
• Deep knowledge of clocking, CDC, multi-clock systems and timing constraints.
• Experience in high-reliability, low-latency, real-time systems.
• Experience with Linux-based embedded flows (Yocto) and BSPs.

Responsibilities

• Take a technical role across architecture, design, and hardware validation of IPs.
• Collaborate with architects, hardware and firmware teams to scope features.
• RTL development: design, verify, and validate high-performance logic (SystemVerilog/Verilog).
• Embedded system development: firmware for ARM/RISC-V cores and Yocto-based images.
• System-level integration using Vivado/Vitis to bring up NoC, memory, and subsystems.
• Pre-Si verification and emulation to confirm functional correctness and performance.
• Board bring-up and validation from power-on to a stable platform with bench scripts.
• Post-Si validation: debug interactions between software, IPs, and FPGA fabric.
