Staff Design Verification Engineer

The focus of this role is to take a full ownership of the planning, building, and execution process for the verification of new and existing features for AMD’s graphics processor IP, resulting in no bugs in the final design.    

THE PERSON:

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Define and drive verification strategy for complex GPU features or subsystems with cross‑project and cross‑product impact
• Partner with architects, RTL, and firmware leads to influence feature definition, implementation approach, and verification readiness early in the design cycle
• Own verification planning and execution for technically critical areas, including risk identification, trade‑off analysis, and mitigation strategies
• Lead development of robust, scalable verification environments and methodologies, including directed and constrained‑random testing using SystemVerilog and UVM
• Solve complex, ambiguous verification challenges, often requiring new approaches or extensions to existing processes and infrastructure
• Analyze functional and code coverage at a system level, driving coverage closure strategies that balance quality, schedule, and compute efficiency
• Drive improvements to verification processes, tools, and workflows that increase productivity, quality, or execution efficiency across teams
• Coordinate and technically lead small verification efforts within larger programs, aligning stakeholders and delivering on shared objectives
• Mentor and coach junior and senior engineers, acting as a go‑to technical resource and influencing best practices across the organization

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Experience in Digital Design Verification
• Experience with System Verilog, Verilog and UVM to both maintaining an existing Verification Environment as well as creating one from scratch.
• Strong skills with functional verification tools by VCS, optional with Cadence, Mentor Graphics.
• Experience delivering design features/functionalities on all stages: specs, test plan, enablement, functional/code coverage closure.
• Proficiency in coding/scripting (C, C++, Perl, Shell, Ruby).
• Good computer architecture, cache coherency knowledge.
• Experience working with complex designs (not just I2C and other similar designs).
• Demonstrated experience with simulation profile, efficiency improvement, acceleration and automating workflows in a distributed compute environment.  
• Strong ownership and drive capabilities, with limited guidance.
