Mts Silicon Design Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India · Engineering

This role is for an MTS Silicon Design Engineer at AMD, focusing on planning, building, and executing verification of graphics processor IP. The responsibilities include collaborating with architects, building test plans, writing directed and random verification tests, debugging failures, and reviewing coverage metrics. The role requires proficiency in IP level ASIC verification, debugging firmware and RTL, using UVM testbenches, and experience with Verilog, System Verilog, C, and C++. While AMD mentions AI as a domain, this specific role is in silicon design for graphics processors, not directly in AI/ML model development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be verified
  2. Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases
  3. Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
  4. Build the directed and random verification tests
  5. Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
