ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology 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 AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE

As a member of the Radeon Technologies Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member of the front-end design/integration team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

THE PERSON:

In this role, you will collaborate with a network of expert architects and designers around the world where collaboration and communication skills are critical to the success of this role, and excellent organization skills are essential. You will approach sophisticated problems with a firm methodology and problem-solving technique and conduct experiments and analysis to formulate recommendations and next steps for other colleagues and SOC and IP design teams located in across multiple time zones and geographies. You will formally present your findings to co-workers, teams, and customer engineering teams.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES

• Implementation and verification of DFT architecture and features
• Partner with architecture and SoC design teams to define and execute a comprehensive Design-for-Excellence (DFX) strategy spanning debug, test, validation, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with technology, silicon validation, product engineering, and manufacturing teams to establish DFX architectures that support both functional operating modes and manufacturing test requirements.
• Drive cross-functional alignment on DFX requirements, use cases, and end-to-end implementation flows across AMD engineering organizations.
• Evaluate and deploy AI-driven methodologies to streamline DFX planning, insertion, verification, coverage analysis, and implementation, improving quality, consistency, and scalability while reducing manual effort and time-to-deployment.
• Define metrics, methodologies, and automation frameworks to ensure DFX solutions meet product quality, testability, debug, and production readiness objectives across multiple programs and technology generations.
  
  PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• 10 + years of experience in SOC design, DFX Archituecture , or related silicon development disciplines
• Strong understanding of DFX implementation and integration within complex, large-scale SoC architectures.
• Deep knowledge of DFT methodologies and infrastructure, including scan, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG/boundary scan, and advanced debug and test features.
• Solid understanding of SoC clocking, reset, power management, and low-power design architectures.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across diverse engineering teams and disciplines.
• Demonstrated ability to decompose complex technical problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and develop solutions from both architectural and implementation perspectives.
• Experience applying AI and data-driven techniques to improve engineering productivity, including DFX requirement analysis, insertion planning, verification, coverage assessment, validation, and design quality optimization.
• Ability to leverage modern AI-assisted engineering workflows and tools to accelerate debug, reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and enable earlier identification of design and DFX risks.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering.
