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
