Location
Markham, Canada
Onsite: This is an onsite role as the hiring team will require the student to come to the Markham office for the duration of the term
Program Term
- This role is a 4-month position
- January 8 to April 26 2024
The Role
An ASIC design and verification co-op engineering role in our Security IP team, where a large number of individual embedded micro-processor (MP) subsystems and associated hardware accelerators vital to improve subsystems performance and functionality are designed and verified. These subsystem IPs provide high performance functions to System on Chip (SoC) silicon products across all AMD business units such as client computers, servers, discrete graphics, and gaming. Our design and verification engineers will work on block level functional design and verification and/or subsystem level integration and verification for a variety of embedded MP subsystems. Your contribution will impact security policy management, cryptography, data compression, high throughput DMA, power management, and many other subsystem applications.
What you’ll be doing
- Develop and refine MP subsystem design and verification workflow and methodology by creating and debugging automation scripts
- Set up and debug test regressions, analyze simulation results, resolve technical issues with design, verification teams
- Modify and debug RTL designs using C-DPI directed test methodology, and/or using verification team’s testbenches and tests
- Develop and debug test plans using SystemVerilog/UVM constrained-random test methodology and C-DPI directed test methodology, and using object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques to implement/maintain testbenches and tests
Preferred Qualifications
- Completed 3 years of academic study in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with strong records in relevant technical courses and projects
- Excellent in programming using C/C++, one or more of Ruby, Perl, Python and Makefile
- Basic understanding of computer architecture, digital circuits and systems
- Basic knowledge about Verilog and System Verilog languages
- Basic knowledge about ASIC design & verification tools
*Must demonstrate their interest in Silicon Design via coursework, projects or previous co-op work terms.
