Silicon Design Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · San Jose, CA · Engineering

This role is for a Silicon Design Engineer at AMD, focusing on the research, design, development, and testing of electronic components and systems for semiconductor manufacturing. The engineer will be involved in ASIC development, including architecture design, logic design, simulation, and evaluating the process flow from high-level designs to synthesis, place and route, and timing/power analysis. The role requires experience in object-oriented programming (SystemVerilog/C++), scripting (Perl/Python), simulation, Unix/Linux environments, logic/circuit design, CMOS transistor design, CAD tools, SOC architecture, RTL design, and ASIC design tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Research, design, develop, and/or test electronic components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, employing knowledge of electronic theory.
  2. Perform definition, design, verification, and/or documentation for ASIC development.
  3. Determine architecture design, logic design, and/or system simulation.
  4. Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits.
  5. Evaluate all aspects of the process flow from high-level designs to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power use.
