Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

Join AMD's Silicon Design team to design and develop cutting-edge IPs for next-generation embedded products. As a Senior ASIC Design Engineer, you will own the complete RTL design lifecycle from micro-architecture specification through production silicon, working on complex IP design.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is a seasoned ASIC/SOC designer with proven expertise across the entire chip development lifecycle-from RTL design through silicon bring-up. You excel in Verilog RTL coding, timing closure, and physical design awareness. With multiple production tape-outs under your belt, you bring deep technical expertise, strong ownership, and the ability to mentor junior engineers while driving projects to successful completion.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • RTL Design & Microarchitecture: Author detailed micro-architecture specifications and own complete Verilog RTL implementation of major IP blocks, ensuring compliance with PPA (Performance, Power, Area) targets and timing requirements.
  • Full ASIC Development Lifecycle: Drive design from concept through production silicon across all phases: specification, RTL coding, lint/CDC checks, synthesis, timing analysis, verification, physical design integration, and post-silicon validation.
  • Timing Closure & Optimization: Develop and maintain timing constraints (SDC), perform static timing analysis (STA) using industry-standard tools (PrimeTime/Tempus), resolve timing violations, and collaborate with physical design to achieve timing closure.
  • SOC Integration: Integrate complex ASIC IP blocks into full-chip SOC environment, ensuring proper connectivity, clock domain crossings, and interface compliance with industry-standard protocols (AMBA AXI/AHB/APB, PCIe, CXL).
  • Design Quality & Verification: Partner with verification teams to ensure comprehensive functional coverage; implement design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-debug (DFD) features; participate in RTL quality reviews and signoff.
  • Physical Design Collaboration: Work closely with physical design engineers on floorplanning, placement constraints, clock tree synthesis, and power grid design to ensure timing convergence and manufacturing readiness.
  • Automation & Productivity: Develop Python/Perl/Tcl scripts to automate repetitive tasks, improve design quality checks, and enhance team efficiency throughout the design flow.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Engage with architecture, verification, physical design, CAD, and post-silicon teams to resolve complex technical challenges and deliver high-quality silicon on schedule.


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Proven track record with 2+ production ASIC tape-outs in senior design roles
  • Expert-level Verilog RTL coding skills with deep understanding of synthesizable RTL constructs and coding best practices
  • Hands-on experience with the complete ASIC design flow: RTL • Synthesis • STA • Physical Design • Tape-out
  • Experience writing and debugging SDC timing constraints, including multi-cycle paths, false paths, and clock domain crossing constraints
  • Experience integrating complex IP blocks into SOC designs
  • Knowledge of industry-standard on-chip interconnect protocols (AMBA AXI/AHB/APB)
  • Knowledge of ARM architecture and AMBA protocol specifications
  • Experience with low-power design techniques (clock gating, power gating, voltage scaling)
  • Proficiency in scripting languages: Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell scripting
  • Exposure to formal verification tools for equivalence checking and property verification
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and modern EDA technologies
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading design teams
  • Strong technical writing skills for design specifications and documentation
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional environments

ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
