THE ROLE: 

AMD is seeking a Fellow-level Pre-Silicon Verification Quality and Methodology  to define, elevate, and scale best-in-class verification across high-impact silicon programs within a mixed-signal IP organization providing a portfolio of IP to the entire AMD product portfolio.

You will shape verification architecture, methodology, automation strategy, AI enablement, and technical direction across multiple product domains. You will influence roadmaps, mentor senior DV leaders, and ensure that verification quality and predictability scale with AMD’s growing silicon complexity.

This is an opportunity to leave a lasting technical fingerprint on AMD’s next generation of products.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Verification Architecture

• Define scalable mixed-signal verification architectures for advanced analog-digital subsystems.

• Establish signoff criteria, coverage models, and closure frameworks across concurrent silicon programs.

• Integrate digital UVM-based environments with analog/mixed-signal modeling strategies (real-number modeling, AMS co-simulation, abstraction frameworks).

Technical Strategy

• Set long-term DV methodology direction across the teams and organization.

• Modernize regression, debug, and coverage analytics infrastructure.

• Define AI-assisted verification strategy (intelligent test generation, regression triage, coverage gap prediction).

Organizational Elevation

• Mentor senior DV architects and regional leads.

• Standardize methodology across global teams.

• Lead technical risk reviews and drive silicon escape reduction at systemic scale.

Industry Influence

• Represent AMD in technical forums and standards bodies.

• Contribute thought leadership in advanced mixed-signal verification.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• 20 years leading complex pre-silicon verification efforts.

• Deep expertise in mixed-signal DV methodologies, including:

  • System Verilog / UVM

  • Real-number modeling (RNM)

  • AMS co-simulation flows

  • Coverage-driven closure for analog/digital interaction

  • Formal and hybrid verification strategies

• Experience architecting verification for mixed-signal IP & complex subsystems.

• Proven ability to scale verification across geographically distributed teams.

• Recognized as a technical authority within your organization or industry.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering  

LOCATION:  Santa Clara, CA ( Open to All AMD location)
