High Performance CPU Clock Methodology Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believetechnology has the power to solve the world's most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMDis shapingthefuture.

Whetheryou'redesigning next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, orbringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger- technologythat moves the world forward.Join us and, together, we'll advance your career.

THE ROLE:

In this role, you will join the high-performance core physical design team with a focus on design methodology and synthesis, place, and route optimization. You will work directly with external disciplines (CAD/DFT/Architecture/Foundry); for example, working directly with the CAD team to fix flow steps.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Implement working knowledge of principles of logic and transistor level circuit design, CAD tools and expertise in one of many functional areas (e.g., clocks, standard cell libraries, synthesis, place and route, electrical analysis, physical verification, etc.).
• Innovate and improve the design. Point out lower power and higher performance tradeoffs.
• Preparing schedules and scope several months in advance, such as building the analysis schedule for a given flow step or setting the delivery of a circuit macro across the project.
• Prepare well thought out recommendations for technical reviews (e.g., design tradeoffs, bringing a list of various options to a technical review, then submitting a strong recommendation).

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Mastery of logic, circuit design, CMOS transistor design, and CAD tools for high-performance design.
• Strong physical design experience preferred.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• MS degree in Electrical Engineering
