Lead Architect – Programmable Clock Architecture

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Hyderabad, India · Engineering

Lead Architect for Programmable Clock Architecture at AMD in Hyderabad, India. This role involves leading a team to develop clocking solutions for Adaptive-Embedded Computing products, collaborating with global teams, and addressing complex SOC clocking challenges. Responsibilities include developing clock distribution methodologies, analyzing clock timing, and collaborating with various IP teams. Requires deep understanding of system-level clocking, leadership skills, and expertise in STA and EDA tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Developing Programable global Clock distribution methodologies, optimizing Clock - Skew, Signal integrity and power integrity issues for AMD's next generation of programmable product families.
  2. Large Scale Block to Block Clock timing analysis, within the Die & Die to Clock interposer crossing.
  3. Collaborate with functional IP teams (RTL, Ckt, physical design, Full Chip Timing, Integration) during the implementation and qualification of a growing number of programable Clock IPs.
  4. Identify key positions and required skills: Based on the team's objectives, the candidate should identify the key positions required to achieve them. These could include Circuit Design, STA, Physical Design & RTL etc.
