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.\nTHE ROLE:\nWe are seeking a senior Front-End Design Automation Engineer to help shape and advance our front-end EDA flows - RTL lint and design-quality checking, static timing analysis and constraints, and RTL quality (CDC/RDC) signoff. This senior individual-contributor role blends deep technical work with driving the flow roadmap, and a strong focus on modernizing front-end verification and signoff with AI - machine-learning and agent-based automation for faster, smarter, more autonomous flows.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nHelp shape the technical direction and roadmap for the front-end flows (lint/design-quality, STA and constraints, RTL quality signoff), including architecture, enablement, and release strategy.\nDrive AI-based modernization - applying ML and agentic automation to lint triage, timing/constraint debug, and regression analysis.\nServe as a technical resource and mentor for FE flow issues, ruleset decisions, and methodology questions from design teams.\nDrive user enablement and adoption - low-power (UPF) and timing-flow enablement, best-practice guidance, and documentation.\nPartner with design, CAD, IP, and library teams, and maintain regression/CI (e.g., nightly pipelines) for flow quality.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nExtensive experience in silicon design automation / front-end methodology / RTL flow development, with a track record of driving technical initiatives.\nDeep expertise in front-end flows: RTL lint/design-quality, static timing analysis and constraint (SDC) development, RTL quality signoff including CDC, and low-power (UPF).\nStrong understanding of the RTL-to-signoff flow and how front-end deliverables feed physical implementation.\nProficient scripting (Tcl, Python, Perl) and comfortable with flow infrastructure and regression/CI (e.g., Jenkins).\nHands-on with industry front-end EDA tools (Synopsys / Cadence - STA, lint, CDC).\nStrong communication and cross-functional collaboration across distributed teams.\nExperience applying AI/ML or LLM-based agents to EDA flows or design automation.\nFPGA / ASIC / SoC experience in advanced nodes; familiarity with Perforce/ICManage and central IP/library releases.\nLOCATION:\nPenang, Malaysia\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
