Job Role and Responsibility: AMD, Inc. is hiring MTS Silicon Design Engineer to Research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, employing knowledge of electronic theory. Perform pre-Silicon Functional Verification of next generation high performance Microprocessor designs. Develop and execute on verification testplans at various levels of design hierarchy including unit and full-chip environments. Develop high level language testbench components including stimulus drivers, BFMs, behavioral models, monitors and checkers. Develop, simulate and debug directed random stimulus and assembly level tests to find bugs in the microprocessor design; verify the functionality and verify conformance to the ISA. Find bugs in the design and work with RTL writers to resolve all simulation failures and discrepancies. Develop and analyze assertions and coverage terms. Participate in technical reviews of specifications, design, and testplans. Identify and address areas of concern to meet design quality objectives. Develop tools, infrastructure, processes and flows to enable functional verification. Document testplans and testbench component plans and drive reviews with peers and stakeholders. Maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology. When presented with Silicon issues, replicate in the pre-silicon environment and provide debug expertise to root cause the issue and ensure complete validation. Contribute towards and drive as needed pre-silicon and/or post-silicon verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features. Drive project deliverables and dependencies with cross-site Architects, RTL writers, and Physical Design engineers. Independently develop quality, timely and cost-effective solutions.
