THE ROLE:
The focus of this role is to plan, build, and execute the verification of new and existing features for AMD’s graphics processor IP, resulting in no bugs in the final design.
THE PERSON:
You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be verified
Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
Build the directed and random verification tests
Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
Analyze and enhance legacy test plans to accommodate new Design for Debug feature developments
Perform debug triage of failures from simulation and emulation environments for CORE and sub-level regressions
Develop assembly tests, C++ checkers to support new features
Write complex Perl scripts to update simulation files in a deterministic manner
Recreate post-silicon failures in pre-silicon environment
Debug and resolve test cases in assembly language
Conduct silicon debug and root cause analysis with minimal logging support
Scope new features and execute comprehensive test planning cycles
Utilize JTAG protocols for debugging and validation
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- 8+ years of experience in ASIC Design Verification with strong computer architecture knowledge
- Expert-level understanding of CPU architecture, L2/L3 cache architectures, and processor subsystems (x86 or ARM)
- Proficiency in C++ and assembly language programming
