Description

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, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover 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. PMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER THE ROLE: We are seeking an experienced Full Chip SoC Timing Lead with 15+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design implementation and timing closure. The ideal candidate will lead full-chip timing activities from synthesis through place-and-route, signoff, and tapeout for complex SoCs in advanced technology nodes. This role requires deep expertise in STA, timing constraints, MMMC flows, SI/crosstalk analysis, ECO closure, and cross-functional collaboration with RTL, PD, CTS, DFT, power, and signoff teams. THE PERSON: You have excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, trainings, executive briefings, etc. You are highly adept at collaboration among top-thinkers and engineers alike, ready to mentor and guide, and help to elevate the knowledge and skills of the team around you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead full-chip timing closure for complex SoC/ASIC designs across all modes and corners. Own and drive timing signoff from synthesis to final tapeout. Develop, validate, and maintain timing constraints including SDC for full-chip and block-level integration. Perform and review static timing analysis (STA) for setup, hold, recovery, removal, clock gating, and async paths. Drive MMMC timing methodology and ensure robust timing convergence across PVT corners. Work closely with physical design teams on floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and post-route timing optimization. Analyze and resolve timing violations related to datapath, clock path, cross-talk, noise, OCV/AOCV/POCV, derates, and variation effects. Lead timing ECO strategies and execute closure with minimal impact to power, area, and performance. Collaborate with RTL/design teams to identify architectural or logic changes required for timing improvement. Coordinate with IP/block owners for timing budgeting, interface timing closure, and hierarchical timing signoff. Ensure signoff quality using industry-standard tools and methodologies. Drive correlation between implementation timing and signoff timing. Lead tapeout readiness reviews and provide timing risk assessment to program leadership. Mentor junior engineers and define best practices for timing methodology and closure. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics / Electrical Engineering / VLSI / Microelectronics / Computer Engineering. 15+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC timing analysis and timing closure. Strong expertise in full-chip STA and timing signoff for large-scale SoCs. Proven experience in advanced technology nodes (such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm or similar). Strong knowledge of synthesis, place-and-route, extraction, and signoff flows. Experience with timing budgeting and hierarchical/full-chip integration. Solid understanding of clocking architecture, CDC implications, and timing exception handling. Ability to debug complex timing issues and drive closure under aggressive schedule targets. Strong communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills. #LI-AB1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
