Cad Front End and Dft Flows Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Hyderabad, India · Engineering

This role is for a CAD Engineer responsible for developing and supporting next-generation front-end RTL flows, synthesis, and DFT flows for advanced technology nodes (3nm and 2nm) at AMD. The engineer will collaborate with design teams and EDA vendors, automate flows using scripting, and enhance methodologies for FPGA-SoC products. While the role mentions leveraging AI systems for productivity, the core responsibilities are in CAD, RTL design, synthesis, and DFT, not in building or researching AI models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Responsible for developing Front-end Design, synthesis and DFT methodologies for various designs at advanced technology nodes
  2. Collaborate with the design team to drive continuous improvements in DFT and front-end design methodologies, ensuring top-quality RTL and Netlist across areas different areas such as Lint, CDC, formal verification, DFT coverage.
  3. Script out utilities to automate different pieces of the flows
  4. Enhance and develop flows that enable for AMD's next-generation monolithic and stacked FPGA-SoC product families
  5. Leverage corporate AI systems to increase productivity and streamline workflows.
