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.

THE ROLE:

This is a great opportunity for an experienced, seasoned engineer to develop and implement a world-class IP-Design Management Platform in a fast-paced production environment on the cutting edge of modern technology! The goal of our Central Methodology Infrastructure team at AMD is to determine a set of standards and techniques for designing chips with the highest performance, lowest cost, and lowest power usage. We then automate these best practices into a design flow for efficiency and consistency, and work with various design teams to put the flow to use in constructing next-generation GPUs, CPUs and APUs with industry-standard EDA software tools.

THE PERSON:

You are a highly motivated and proactive individual who is passionate about using state-of-the-art silicon design infrastructure and methodology to solve complex SoC design problems. You are a team player with excellent communication and collaboration skills, working with other individuals, teams, and business units across different sites and time zones. You have strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. You are detail-oriented, eager to learn, and ready to take on various central platform challenges.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• Develop, implement, and deploy a world-class IP-Design Management Platform
• Guide company-wide adoption of best methodologies and practices
• Collaborate with project teams on their milestone deliveries and leverage the new IP-Design Management Platform
• Demonstrate ownership through steady stewardship - maintaining the platform, supportingits users, and improving the platform upon the stakeholder's feedback

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with ASIC SoC design and implementation
• Experience with RTL to GDS flow
• Experience with Silicon IP integration at SOC level
• Experience with Silicon IP life cycle management tool (Perforce IPLM or IC Manage IPC) is preferred
• Experience with Silicon IP and IP-reuse: design, implementation, and productization
• Experience with scripting and automation (Python, Ruby, Perl, Make, Tcl, shell scripts, or similar)
• Experience with version control systems (Perforce, Git, Artifactory, or similar)
• Experience working with EDA vendors
• Experience with Linux/Unix system administration
• Experience with silicon design environments
• Demonstrated experience with use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to enhance productivity and automate workflows

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
