Responsibilities

 

THE ROLE: 

Join AMD’s SerDes Technology team to design and deliver high-performance, multi-protocol wireline transceivers in advanced CMOS processes. In this role, you will own RTL design for key digital components such as calibration loops, signal processing logic, and clock-data recovery. You will also contribute to micro-architecture planning, low-power design techniques, and performance, power, and area (PPA) optimization. This position involves close collaboration with system architects, analog designers, verification teams, and physical design engineers to achieve first-pass silicon success for AMD’s next-generation products.

 

THE PERSON:  

You are a strategic and detail-oriented engineer who blends innovation with practical execution. You excel in front-end digital design and RTL development, thrive in solving complex technical challenges, and bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills to every project. You communicate with clarity, collaborate effectively across global teams, and adapt quickly to emerging technologies. You have the curiosity to continuously learn, the confidence to influence design decisions, and the drive to deliver high-quality silicon at scale.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

  • Collaborate with architects to define micro-architecture for high-speed SerDes PHY.
  • Own RTL design for digital blocks such as calibration/adaptation loops, DSP, and CDR logic.
  • Apply low-power techniques and perform PPA (performance, power, area) trade-off analysis.
  • Develop block-level test benches and validate design functionality; support integration debug and static timing closure.
  • Run design checks using LINT, CDC, and RDC tools to ensure design quality.
  • Build behavioral models in Verilog/SystemVerilog to aid verification and system modeling.
  • Work closely with physical design and validation teams for tape-out sign-off and silicon bring-up.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

  • Proficient in logic design concepts and RTL coding using Verilog/SystemVerilog
  • Proficient in micro-architecture and developing design specifications
  • Proficient with design checker tools and/or functional verification tools
  • Knowledge of synthesis flow and static timing analysis
  • Knowledge of low power design and methodology
  • Experience in design with multiple clock domains
  • Experience in mixed signal design
  • Experience with Python, Perl, TCL and/or other scripting language
  • Experience with SerDes PHY (PMA/PCS) and/or high-speed I/O protocol is preferred

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

  • Bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related field
