THE ROLE:

The Multimedia & Graphics Infrastructure and Methodology team is looking for a Senior FPGA Emulation Engineer, ASIC Verification Infrastructure to drive hardware emulation modeling and FPGA-based acceleration solutions in support of AMD ASIC IP teams. We develop and enable scalable, high-performance hardware design infrastructure, verification frameworks, and methodologies spanning modeling, design verification, flow automation, and platform deployment.

As part of this team, you will help shape next-generation design and verification flows by architecting and implementing modeling and verification frameworks, while gaining hands-on exposure to design, debug, automation, and acceleration technologies.

THE PERSON:

In this role, you will contribute to the development and deployment of FPGA-based hardware acceleration solutions, working closely with globally distributed design and verification teams to deliver robust, scalable emulation and verification platforms.

• Proven experience working on complex hardware designs with hands-on involvement in architecting and developing hardware emulation models and design verification infrastructure.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with global teams distributed across multiple geographies and time zones.
• Strong communication skills, with a history of effective documentation and independent execution of tasks from concept to completion.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Architect and develop FPGA-based hardware acceleration solutions.
• Create and port Verilog RTL designs to FPGA platforms.
• Develop or adapt test libraries, emulation models, and test cases from existing IP.
• Perform subsystem-level and multi-IP verification.
• Automate and improve build and run efficiency.
• Understand existing C/C and UVM testbench environments and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with global design verification teams and drive effective execution of verification plans.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Strong understanding of the hardware design and verification lifecycle.
• Hands-on verification experience with C/C and SystemVerilog testbench development.
• Experience with x86, ARM, or other industry-standard microprocessor architectures.
• Experience verifying clocking, reset, power-up sequences, and power management features.
• Familiarity with low-power design and verification techniques is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Undergrad degree required. Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering is preferred.

This role is not eligible for Visa sponsorship.
