ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

We are looking for an adaptive, self-motivative design verification engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD's abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market. The Verification Engineering team furthers and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own the generation, validation, and delivery of scan test patterns for next-generation SERDES IPs and SOCs.
• Partner with product test teams during test bring-up and troubleshoot pattern, model, and netlist issues.
• Improve scan architecture, scan coverage, test models, execution methods, and overall product quality.
• Perform ATPG pattern and gate-level netlist analysis to identify and resolve testability and coverage issues.
• Collaborate with physical design engineers to support design closure through static timing, clock-domain crossing, netlist, and power analysis.
• Address DFT requirements for high-frequency Phy IP designs while minimizing performance impact.
• Resolve complex interactions between intellectual property and system-on-chip design environments across global teams.
• Develop and implement improvements that simplify design complexity and strengthen engineering quality.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with design-for-test methodologies, particularly scan test and automatic test pattern generation with Tessent flows.
• Strong working knowledge of industry-standard ATPG tools and their application to pattern generation, fault coverage, and product quality.
• Experience debugging ATPG patterns, scan structures, test models, and gate-level netlists.
• Understanding of IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan, IEEE 1500 embedded core test, and memory built-in self-test concepts.
• Experience with multi-clock and multi-power-domain designs.
• Familiarity with static timing analysis, clock-domain crossing analysis, static power analysis, and physical design closure.
• Experience adapting standard DFT tools or methods to meet the performance requirements of complex, high-frequency designs.
• Demonstrated success collaborating across design, physical design, product engineering, and geographically distributed teams.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
