From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. Whether 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. STAFF SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER    THE ROLE: This is an exciting opportunity within the innovative and multi-award winning team that has developed the RF data converter sub-system, including direct-RF digital signal processing, around which Xilinx Zync® Ultrascale+™ RFSoC is built. As part of the Analog and Digital-RF design group you will be working on leading-edge digital communications developments in advanced mixed-signal environment using the latest CMOS processes. The role requires an experienced digital design engineer to work on all aspects of the front-end digital design flow including architecture specification and RTL design and optimisation, as well as some verification and synthesis. This will involve extensive interactions with the analog design team, digital verification team, synthesis and place-and-route team. The successful candidate will also be expected to perform a technical leadership role within the team and to promote best design practice within the team. THE PERSON: A successful candidate will work with senior silicon design engineers. The candidate will be highly accurate and detail-oriented, possessing good communication and problem-solving skills. KEY RESPONSIBLITIES: • Expert front-end design experience in a modern IC / ASIC design environment • Experience in leading digital IC design teams • Experience with tools and design flows including RTL design and verification, CDC/RDC checking, linting, DFT, power estimation and design for low power • Knowledge of SystemVerilog and logic design concepts • Excellent written and oral communication skills • Excellent problem solving skills • Ability to work well as part of a collaborative multi-site interdisciplinary team • Awareness of physical design flows including synthesis, STA, P&R • Good awareness of physical implementation constraints on design and design optimization PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: • Experience in high speed wireless communications • Strong knowledge of DSP fundamentals and extensive experience in implementing DSP in ASIC hardware • Experience of Matlab algorithm development and architecture modelling • Experience of power management techniques / UPF • Experience of designing on the analog/digital boundary • Knowledge of modern digital verification techniques such as UVM ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: • Bachelors, Masters or PhD in Computer engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field. #LI-MH3 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
