THE ROLE:

The AMD NBIO Team is on the lookout for a dynamic, upbeat IP Validation Design Engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor to the success of AMD’s IP, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD’s abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry leading technologies to market. The NBIO Team fosters and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As an IP Validation Design Engineer, you will drive the planning, verification, and debug of various hardware IP for forthcoming AMD APU, CPU, Compute and Discrete Graphics SOC programs.

• Defining, documenting, executing and reporting the overall functional test plan and validation strategy for a set of AMD IP’s.
• Driving technical innovation to enhance AMD’s capabilities in IP validation, including tool and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiatives.
• Debugging IP issues found during pre-silicon, bring-up, system validation, and production phases of the SOC programs.
• Engaging on pre-silicon ‘shift left’ activities with cross-functional teams including but not limited to Design Verification (DV), Diagnostics, FPGA-based Emulation and other software/hardware modeling frameworks to ensure readiness for first silicon arrival, enablement of IP functionality, and debug of critical features.
• Leading collaborative technical discussions to drive resolution of technical issues and roll out technical initiatives.
• Developing knowledge of system architecture/debug and other internal IP’s.
• Supporting issues on customer platforms as requested by customer support teams.
