Silicon Verification Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. THE ROLE: We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Verification Engineer to join our DDR PHY IP development team. As an entry-level engineer, you will play a key role in verifying high-performance DDR PHY intellectual property used in cutting-edge SoCs across data center, mobile, and automotive markets. You’ll work closely with experienced design and architecture teams to develop robust verification environments, ensure design correctness, and contribute to silicon success THE PERSON: You will be passionate and driven with a strong foundation in digital design. You are detail-oriented, eager to learn, and excited by the challenge of working on complex DDR PHY IP used in high-performance systems. You thrive in collaborative environments, take initiative in solving technical problems, and communicate clearly with both design and verification teams. Above all, you are motivated to grow your expertise in memory interface technologies and contribute to delivering reliable, high-quality silicon products. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments for DDR PHY IP. • Write and execute test plans, directed and constrained-random tests, and functional coverage models. • Debug simulation failures, analyze waveforms, and work with RTL designers to resolve issues. • Create and maintain verification collateral, including testbenches, checkers, and scoreboards. • Perform regression runs, track functional coverage, and ensure full design verification closure. • Contribute to automation scripts for regression, data analysis, and verification efficiency improvements. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. • Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals (clocking, timing, state machines, analog design basics). • Experience with SystemVerilog and UVM (academic or internship exposure preferred). • Familiarity with simulation tools such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Mentor Questa. • Basic understanding of DDR memory protocols and PHY architecture is a plus. • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, or TCL) for automation. • Excellent analytical, debugging, and communication skills. • Enthusiasm for learning and problem-solving in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in related discipline preferred LOCATION: Singapore #LI-CC6 #LI-HYBRID #LI-D&I Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
