SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER in EDA
THE ROLE:
AMD is seeking an early-career software engineer to contribute to Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software for FPGA implementation (Vivado). In this role, you will help develop and improve features within Vivado under the guidance of senior engineers, gaining hands-on experience with industry-leading EDA tools. You will have the opportunity to grow your skills while contributing to AMD technologies, including exposure to emerging applications of AI and ML in EDA workflows.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in software development, eagerness to learn the fundamentals of FPGA implementation software, and curiosity about how AI/ML techniques can be applied to EDA processes. They should possess good programming skills, a willingness to tackle problems methodically, and the ability to collaborate within a team. Coursework or internship exposure to ML/LLM concepts is a plus.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Implement and enhance well-defined features within Vivado EDA software for FPGA implementation, under the direction of senior engineers. • Debug and fix issues in existing Vivado features, and assist with benchmarking releases for regressions and improvements. • Work with peers across the team to support data-driven activities related to software and hardware integration. • Build effective working relationships within the immediate team and across adjacent groups. • Learn about and assist with ML/LLM-based experiments addressing EDA tasks such as timing optimization, power analysis, or resource allocation.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
• Working knowledge of object-oriented programming (C/C++ preferred), with the ability to write clean, readable code. • Exposure to EDA software tools, with interest in Vivado or similar FPGA design software (academic projects or internships count). • 3+ years of software development experience (BS+3 or MS+0-1), preferably touching EDA, hardware design automation, or systems software. • Basic familiarity with concurrent programming and threading concepts. • Solid debugging skills and willingness to learn profiling and performance evaluation techniques. • Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively within a team. • Coursework, projects, or internship experience applying ML/AI techniques is a plus.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Coursework or project work involving ML/AI applications is a plus.
WHY WORK AT AMD
