THE ROLE:

The Core design and verification team is responsible for development of ‘High performance and Ultralow power x86 microprocessor core’. The role provides a unique opportunity to work at the micro-architectural level of the next-gen Core, with exposure to designs that defines the next wave of client (laptops/ultra-books/think-clients) and custom designs. The multi-billion gate complexity and high-frequency (GHz) design development gives the learning experience of the latest and greatest design and verification methodologies, using cutting edge advanced technology nodes.

THE PERSON:

Candidates should have solid track record of working on complex designs with hands on experience on architecting and developing test-bench, test-bench components, test-planning and execution of testplan, coverage development and closure. Candidate should have working experience with global teams spread across different geography and time-zones.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• ASIC design verification experience 12+ years
• Verification of high performance x86-core ISA features
• Architecting and development of testbench, test-bench components for high performance Cache, x86 ISA features, clock/reset/power features of processor.
• Development of detailed test plans and driving the execution of test plan, including functional coverage.
• Understanding the existing test bench setup and look for opportunities to improve the existing test bench.
• Adhering to coding guideline practices, develop and implement code review process.
• Collaborate with global design verification teams and drive effectively the execution of the verification plans.
• Your commitment to innovating as a team demonstrated through excellent communication, knowledge of proper documentation techniques, and independently driving tasks to completion.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong understanding the design and verification life cycle.
• Hands on verification experience with C/C++/SystemVerilog testbench development.
• Hands on experience with coverage planning, coding and coverage closure.
• Experience with x86, ARM or any other industry standard microprocessor ISA.
• Experience with Cache, Coherency and Data-Consistency verification.
• Experience in clocking, reset, power-up sequences and power management verification.
• Understanding of low power design verification techniques is a plus.
• Lead verification team from all aspects of the deliverables.
• Mentor the junior members of the verification team to meet the team goals
• Represents AMD to the outside technical community, partners and vendors
• Collaborate with SOC team, multi-geographical design teams for alignment of features/scoping/problem-solving.
• Highly motivated to seek out solutions and willing to learn new skills to fulfill job requirements;
• Proven interpersonal skills, leadership and teamwork;
• Excellent writing skills in the English language, and good organizational skills required;
• Skilled at prioritization and multi-tasking;
• Good understanding of engineering terminology used within the semiconductor industry;
• Good understanding of digital design concepts;
• Knowledge of, or experience in, functional design/RTL and physical design flow is highly desired.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Master’s degree preferred with emphasis in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with a focus on computer architecture
