AMD together we advance_
THE ROLE:
AMD is looking for an experienced researcher with the ability to take a complex SoC design to tapeout, as part of a larger team including software development and verification. As a key architect, you will be responsible for synthesis, floorplanning, clocking tree synthesis from mixtures of pre-designed or library RTL designs, to ensure that AMD continues to investigate the highest quality, cutting edge technologies.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate possesses an innovative and problem-solving mindset, and is an expert in hardware development. A successful candidate will need to employ strong knowledge in various SoC technolgies, leadership skills in hardware design, and engineering expertise as well as a strong ability to compete effectively in a fast-paced, relevant environment while effectively cooperate with advanced software and verification teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Physical design of complex SoC proof of concept devices
- Synthesis, floorplanning, clocking tree synthesis from mixtures of pre-designed or library RTL designs, including CGRA including networks on chip and processor subsystems
- Act as a liaison between a software development team, verification team and the hardware development team during hardware development
- Act as a liaison between the hardware development team and the software development team for post-silicon validation and characterization
- Act as an interface to a back-end VLSI design team (possibly external)
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Deep understanding of front-end and back-end VLSI design methodologies
- Proven track record of multiple (2 or more) successful tapeouts
- Demonstrated experience in writing chip testing software for validation and characterization
- Experience using Verilog and VHDL
- Experience using at least 1 EDA CAD tool (ideally Design Compiler)
- Experienced Python, C++ programmer
- History of publications on devices and design flows at reputable hardware conferences (e.g DAC, VLSI etc)
ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE DESIRED:
- Experience using TC
- Experience using FPGA EDA tools (ideally Vivado)
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- PhD in Computer/Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline preferred
LOCATION:
- San Jose, Ca
