THE ROLE: 

The focus of this role is to plan, build, and execute the verification and validation of new and existing features for AMD’s programmable devices and focuses on PCIe/CXL, DMA, and associated solution IPs.   

THE PERSON:  

You have a passion for modern, complex SoC architecture, digital design, verification, and validation. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/time zones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems. It's expected that the candidate is very strong in one area of design/verification/validation, but should have exposure to all aspects and be knowledgeable about each one to some degree.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand new features to be verified
• Architect moderate-complexity (one or two engineers as owners) RTL designs to integrate into the larger SoC
• Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases
• Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
• Build directed and random verification tests using class based verification techniques; preferably UVM
• Debug simulation, in-lab, or production system failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any issues 

• Review functional and code coverage metrics – modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Proficient in complex IP ownership; preferably in high speed I/O like PCIe/CXL, DDR, Ethernet, Video
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation and/or emulation tools 

• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
• Experienced with SystemVerilog
• Developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows
• Automating workflows in a distributed compute environment.  
• Exposure to simulation profile and efficiency improvement.
• Strong background EDA tools preferably on Linux
• Good understanding and hands-on experience in the UVM concepts and SystemVerilog language
• Scripting language experience: TCL, Python, Bash, CSH.
• Familiar with FPGA and Adaptive SOC architectures and development tools.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
