Job Description:

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING. We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming, and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance.

PRIMARY PURPOSE:

Provide technical expertise for executing the functional verification strategy for next-generation microprocessor designs. Maintain and enhance existing functional verification methodology. Improve existing infrastructure. Work on related projects and/or assignments as needed to meet team goals. Perform project definition, training, and documentation. Develop quality, timely, and cost-effective solutions independently. Interface with architects and TG/PG RTL/Designers. Develop an effective working relationship with the parties involved.

KEY JOB FUNCTIONS:

1. Perform functional feature verification of high-speed Microprocessor designs, including the development of infrastructure, directed and random test suites at behavioral RTL level across SoC, Core, and block hierarchies.
2. Develop environments, infrastructure, and test plans to accommodate both full chip and standalone block-level verification and debug capabilities using simulation tools, debug tools, and programming skills, based on an in-depth understanding of the architecture and HDL/logical design of the microprocessor.
3. Participate in the development of formal verification techniques.
4. Develop/support an automated regression infrastructure setup for functional verification of high-speed microprocessor designs.
5. Based on a thorough understanding of the design architecture, develop, run, and debug x86 assembly-based directed tests and random exercisers to validate functionality and testability operation of the microprocessor design leveraging C/C++/Perl/assembly programming, logic design, and simulation skill set.
6. Resolve all simulation discrepancies and assertion responses for both behavioral and gate-level logic models.
7. Measure and analyze coverage results and take necessary actions to fill in coverage holes.

PREFERRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

BS in and 8+ years of experience, MS and 7+ years of experience, or Ph.D and 6+ years of experience desired (all degrees are related to CS or EE). Requires demonstrated technical expertise in functional verification of microprocessor designs. Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog HDL, programming in Perl, C/C++, and logic simulation is a requirement. Direct experience with Verilog simulators is a plus. Requires a very strong understanding of computer architecture and assembly programming. Requires good communication skills.
