Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

Be part of AMD's analog/mixed signal IP design team responsible for the design and development of next generation IOs, high speed memory (LPDDRx, gDDRx, HBMx) and die-to-die Gbps proprietary PHY IP solutions. Establishes and maintains AMD's technological leadership position in analog circuit architecture and design with a proven track record for problem solving and innovation.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate has experience leading others in technical settings. You also have excellent communication, writing, and presentation skills.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:
  • High Speed IO/DDR/die-to-die (d2d)/SerDes AMS circuit architecture and design
  • Lead Definition, review and sign-off on analog/mixed signal IP top level architecture and component/circuit level specifications
  • Work and collaborate with System/Platform & SOC architects to translate system level specs to AMS blocks/circuit level specifications.
  • Author AMS blocks circuit and architecture technical specifications, AMS pre-silicon verification, AMS post-silicon characterization/validation test plans.
  • Supervise pre-silicon layout, post-silicon characterization and debug.
  • Support product bring-up and debug, and Sign-off on test-plans and characterization reports


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Hand-on design experience in multi-Gbps serial interfaces (PCIE, USB, ...), parallel high BW memory interface PHY/IOs (LPDDRx, HBM, gDDR, ...) and die-to-die/chip-to-chip links PHY IPs
  • Strong fundamentals and knowledge of mixed signal circuit architecture and design techniques for receiver/transmitter and PLL/DLL/clocking. In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques
