Job description

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.

The Role

The Infinity Fabric transport layer verification team is looking for a senior pre-silicon verification engineer to help verify our configurable switches and die-to-die interconnect. Infinity Fabric is part of every new AMD product being developed across Client, Server, Graphics, and Semi‑Custom markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive verification strategy for complex GPU features or subsystems with cross‑project and cross‑product impact
• Partner with architects, RTL, and firmware leads to influence feature definition, implementation approach, and verification readiness early in the design cycle
• Own verification planning and execution for technically critical areas, including risk identification, trade‑off analysis, and mitigation strategies
• Lead development of robust, scalable verification environments and methodologies, including directed and constrained‑random testing using SystemVerilog and UVM
• Solve complex, ambiguous verification challenges, often requiring new approaches or extensions to existing processes and infrastructure
• Analyze functional and code coverage at a system level, driving coverage closure strategies that balance quality, schedule, and compute efficiency
• Drive improvements to verification processes, tools, and workflows that increase productivity, quality, or execution efficiency across teams
• Coordinate and technically lead small verification efforts within larger programs, aligning stakeholders and delivering on shared objectives
• Mentor and coach junior and senior engineers, acting as a go‑to technical resource and influencing best practices across the organization

Preferred Experience

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools
• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
• Experienced with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++
• Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
• Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment
• Exposure to simulation profile, efficiency improvement, acceleration, HLS tools/process
• Good understanding and hands‑on experience in the UVM concepts and SystemVerilog language
• Good working knowledge of SystemC and TLM with some related experience
• Scripting language experience: Perl, Ruby, Makefile, shell preferred
• Experience working with complex designs (not just I2C and other similar designs)

Academic Credentials

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science preferred
