FPGA Design Engineer (Timing)

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING 

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.  Together, we advance your career.  

THE ROLE:

As a FPGA Design Engineer, you will work with digital timing experts, FPGA circuit designers and FPGA software modeling experts to create timing model for the entire FPGA, that will be used by the FPGA toolset to ensure proper timing for the user created designs.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for digital design, and associated timings based on various operating conditions (PVT) to ensure correct functionality of a complex design. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Run simulation on various sections of FPGA components and derive the timing information from there and pair it with the corresponding FPGA timing model.
• Analyze timing numbers for the correctness and ensure no unrealistic timing numbers got generated due to any simulation setup issue. 
• Create special type of designs for FPGA and run them on FPGA silicon to correlate the simulated numbers with the measured timing numbers on the silicon.
• Create and modify Perl and Python based scripts to automate the timing capture and analysis process.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Good understanding of digital design concepts with emphasis towards timing.
• Good understanding of transitor and gate level circuit behavior.
• Experience with design creation using AMD FPGA toolset is a plus.
• Experience or familiarity with simulation and timing tools like VCS, PrimeTime and SPICE.
• Good working knowledge in writing scripts using Python or Perl.
• Experience in Silicon characterization is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
