Job
Description
As a Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS) Silicon Design Engineer at AMD, you will be part of a highly experienced CPU physical design team, responsible for delivering the physical design of critical CPU units to meet challenging goals for frequency, power, and other design requirements for AMD's next-generation processors. Your role will be crucial in a fast-paced environment with cutting-edge technology. Key Responsibilities: - Own critical CPU units and drive to convergence from RTL-to-GDSII, including synthesis, floor-planning, place and route, timing closure, and signoff. - Understand the micro-architecture to perform feasibility studies on performance, power, and area (PPA) tradeoffs for design closure. - Develop and improve physical design methodologies and customize recipes across various implementation steps to optimize PPA. - Implement floor plan, synthesis, placement, CTS, Timing Closure, Routing, Extraction, Physical Verification (DRC & LVS), EM/IR, and signoff. - Handle different PNR tools such as Synopsys Fusion Compiler, Cadence, PrimeTime, StarRC, Calibre, Apache Redhawk. Preferred Experience: - 12+ years of professional experience in physical design, preferably with high-performance designs. - Experience in closing high-performance IPs like CPU, GPU, DPU, memory controller, etc. - Strong familiarity with tools for logic synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and design checks for physical and electrical quality. - Versatility with scripts to automate design flow using Perl, Tcl, or Python. - Strong communication skills, ability to multitask across projects, and collaborate with geographically spread out teams. - Experience in advanced sub 7nm nodes. - Excellent physical design and timing background. - Good understanding of computer architecture is preferred. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail. Academic Credentials: - Qualification required: Bachelors or Masters in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.,
