Lead Silicon Design Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ SMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER THE ROLE: As a Senior Lead Design Verification Engineer in AMD’s Infinity (Data) Fabric team, you will be a senior technical leader responsible for driving verification of high-performance, scalable fabric IP that connects compute, memory, and I/O subsystems across AMD’s CPUs, GPUs, and APUs. You will lead verification strategy, ensure methodology excellence, and mentor other engineers while collaborating with architects and designers to deliver world-class silicon. THE PERSON: A successful candidate will work with senior silicon design engineers. The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills. KEY RESPONSIBLITIES: Own verification strategy and execution for complex Data Fabric IP blocks and subsystems from spec review through tape-out. Define and architect UVM-based testbench infrastructure for scalability, reusability, and high coverage across product generations. Lead test plan creation and sign-off, integrating both constrained-random and directed testing methodologies. Drive coverage-driven verification — define, track, and close both functional and code coverage goals. Collaborate cross-functionally with design, architecture, and performance teams to debug complex issues and ensure first-pass silicon success. Mentor and guide junior and mid-level verification engineers, reviewing their code, test plans, and coverage results Identify and drive verification methodology improvements, automation, and process optimizations to enhance team productivity. Participate in post-silicon debug and validation, assisting in recreating and root-causing issues found in lab or customer systems PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Expertise in SystemVerilog & UVM for block- and system-level verification of complex IP. Proven track record of leading verification on large, high-performance ASICs or SoCs from concept to tape-out. Strong knowledge of computer architecture and interconnect/fabric protocols. Proficiency in EDA tools such as Synopsys VCS Advanced debug skills for simulation and waveform analysis. Scripting proficiency in Python, Perl, or similar for automation and flow development. Experience with coverage closure strategies, regression management, and verification metrics reporting. Familiarity with formal verification concepts and tools is a plus. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering #LI-BM2 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
