AMD together we advance_
THE ROLE:
We are seeking an individual interested in creating hardware validation platforms and debugging complex issues involving both hardware and software.
Our System Integration and Validation (SIV) Team develops hardware systems for pre-silicon and silicon validation of our advanced FPGA and ACAP families. We use both commercial emulation systems and FPGA-based platforms for prototyping. On silicon, we develop boards to functionally validate the latest silicon features.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate is self-driven, methodical, and enjoys troubleshooting / problem-solving. The individual proactively seeks to address challenges across the team and project. The person has excellent verbal and written communication skills.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop pre-silicon hardware model using commercial / custom prototyping or emulation platforms
- Collaborate with design and verification teams to debug issues found on both prototyping / emulation platforms and final silicon.
- Improve internal processes and innovate in the area of hardware prototyping and emulation.
- Guide / mentor less experienced members of the team
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:
- Fluent in Verilog/System Verilog/VHDL hardware design languages
- Experience developing systems or IPs for FPGAs, including simulating, and validating the designs.
- Experience using FPGA synthesis and implementation tools with good understanding of output products at each stage.
- Understanding and analysis of timing reports.
- Working knowledge of Linux environment.
- Experience with scripting languages including Perl, Python, Unix shells and Makefiles
- Broad software development/debug experience with C/C++
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Have worked with the leading emulation and prototyping vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor) to debug issues and deploy new capabilities
- Experience using Xilinx Ultrascale or Versal FPGAs, Vivado, and Vivado Debug
- Knowledge of high-speed interfaces including QSFP, PCIe, USB, SATA, GB Ethernet, DDR4/5, LPDDR4/5, HBM
- Knowledge of devices including SPI, I2C, SD, eMMC, QSPI, OSPI
- Experience with FPGA-based validation designs based on embedded processors such as ARM Cortex A72 and other hard IP within Xilinx FPGAs and ACAPs
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- BS, MS or PhD (Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related equivalent)
