MTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER

THE ROLE:

The verification team at AMD is looking for a Member of Technical Staff to lead and contribute on the verification of Network on Chip IPs and Subsystems. The individual will help architect, develop and use simulation and/or formal based verification environments, at block and subystem level, to prove the functional correctness of Network-On-Chip (NOC) IPs, subsystems and SOC designs.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead and Plan verification of complex digital design blocks by fully understanding the architecture and design specifications
• Interact with architects and design engineers to create a comprehensive verification testplan
• Design and architect testbenches in System Verilog and UVM to complete verification of the design in an efficient manner
• Create and enhance constrained-random and/or directed verification environments, and formally verify designs with System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and industry leading formal tools
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks
• Identify and write coverage measures for stimulus quality improvements
• Perform coverage analysis to identify verification holes and achieve closure on coverage metrics 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experienced with development of UVM, OVM, VMM and/or System Verilog, Verilog test benches and usage of simulation tools/debug environments like Synopsys VCS, Cadence IES to test block level/full chip SOCs and FPGAs.
• Strong understanding of state of the art of verification techniques, including assertion and coverage-driven verification.
• Strong understanding of different phases of ASIC and/or full custom chip development is required.
• Experience in block level NOC (Net work on Chip) verification is a plus.
• Verification Experience in protocols like AXI3/4, DDR4/5, HBM, PCIe, Processors, Graphics is a plus.
• Experience as a verification architect, establishing the verification methodology, tools and infrastructure for high performance FPGAs, SOCs and/or VLSI designs is a plus.
• Experience with gate level simulation, power verification, reset verification, contention checking, abstraction techniques is a plus.
• Familiarity with verification management tools as well as understanding of database management particularly as it pertains to regression management is a plus.
• Experience with formal property checking tools such as Cadence (IEV), Jasper and Synopsys (VC-Formal, Magellan) is a plus.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering with 8+Yrs of exp
