ADVANCE THE WORLD.\nAt AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.\nWhether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.\nTHE ROLE:\nThis role focuses on the design verification of next-generation CPUs, translating new CPU features and microarchitectural designs into effective verification plans. The engineer will analyze RTL designs, verify functionality and performance, and drive assigned areas through verification closure.\nThe role includes developing and improving verification environments, debugging complex design issues, performing coverage analysis, and partnering across design, testbench, and emulation teams. This work contributes to next-generation CPU technology spanning client, server, and data center products.\nTHE PERSON:\nYou are a collaborative and self-directed engineer who enjoys understanding complex CPU designs at the hardware level. You approach technical challenges with curiosity, sound judgment, and a commitment to resolving issues thoroughly. You communicate clearly across engineering teams, take ownership of your work, and are comfortable adopting new verification methods and tools.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nDevelop comprehensive verification plans for new CPU features and microarchitectural implementations.\nAnalyze register-transfer level designs to understand functionality, interactions, and verification requirements.\nCreate and maintain functional and performance verification tests.\nDevelop, enhance, and debug verification environments and testbench components.\nDrive assigned verification areas from planning through design closure.\nPerform coverage analysis, identify verification gaps, and implement strategies to address them.\nDiagnose complex design and verification issues and drive them to resolution.\nCollaborate with CPU design, verification, testbench, and hardware emulation teams.\nImprove verification methodologies, debugging capabilities, and engineering workflows.\nProvide technical guidance and support to partner engineering teams.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nExperience with CPU design verification and modern verification methodologies.\nStrong understanding of CPU architecture and microarchitecture, including hardware implementation and interactions between CPU blocks.\nExperience analyzing register-transfer level designs and debugging complex verification failures.\nExperience with SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology environments.\nExperience programming in C or C++.\nExperience with functional coverage, code coverage, and verification closure.\nFamiliarity with verification testbench development and infrastructure.\nFamiliarity with hardware emulation is preferred.\nKnowledge of formal verification techniques is beneficial.\nExperience applying artificial intelligence tools or workflows to engineering activities is desired.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is preferred.\n\nThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services. AMD and its subsidiaries are equal opportunity, inclusive employers and will consider all applicants without regard to age, ancestry, color, marital status, medical condition, mental or physical disability, national origin, race, religion, political and/or third-party affiliation, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates and will accommodate applicants’ needs under the respective laws throughout all stages of the recruitment and selection process.\nAMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
