WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences-from AI and data centers, to PCs, gamingand embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuityand a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’lldiscover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges-striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond.Together, we advance your career.
THE ROLE:
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:
You are a recognized technical leader with deep expertise in digital design verification and broader architectural understanding beyond your immediate domain. You combine strong technical judgment with the ability to influence others, set direction, and drive results across teams and projects.
You work with little to no supervision, take full ownership of outcomes, and are trusted to make decisions where errors could materially impact product delivery.
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 UVMto 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.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer/Electrical Engineering
JOB LOCATIONS:
- Iasi (Onsite)
- Brasov (Remote) or Bucharest (Remote)
