Sr. Silicon Design Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Boxborough, MA · Engineering

AMD is hiring a Sr. Silicon Design Engineer to research, design, develop, and test electronic components and systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Responsibilities include defining architecture, logic design, system simulation, module interface definition, multidimensional design involving complex integrated circuit layout, and evaluating the process flow from high-level designs to synthesis, place and route, and timing/power usage. The role involves collaboration with architects and hardware engineers, building test plan documentation, creating directed and random verification tests, debugging test failures, resolving design defects with RTL engineers, and reviewing coverage metrics. The engineer will specialize in ASIC/layout design, analyzing data for identifiable factors, and applying engineering principles to product design, development, and testing.

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. Oversee definition, design, verification, and/or documentation for ASIC development.
  3. Determine architecture design, logic design, and/or system simulation.
  4. Define module interfaces/formats for simulation.
  5. Contribute to the development of multidimensional designs involving the layout of complex integrated circuits.
