Director Front-end Soc Design

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India · Engineering

Lead the Front-end SoC Design team in India for AMD's flagship Instinct GPU SoC, overseeing the entire front-end process from micro-architecture to netlist. This role requires extensive leadership experience in complex SoC design, including IP integration, verification, power management, and post-silicon support.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead Front-end SoC team.
  2. Lead execution for SoC Front-end function from uArch till Netlist for complex SoCs.
  3. Act as the primary SoC interface across: IP teams, SoC architecture, Firmware and software, Platform, packaging, and test teams Ensure bidirectional requirement closure between SoC and partner teams Execution
  4. Deliver micro‑architecture and execute SoC RTL construction
  5. Drive IP integration, including Clock/Reset, UPF, pad ring, and SoC pervasive logic
