SCBU Digital Logic IP Systems Engineer

About the Position:
The AMD Semi-Custom Business Unit IP Systems Engineering Team is on the lookout for a dynamic, energetic IP Systems 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 enhance AMD’s abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry leading technologies to market.  The IP Systems Engineering team fosters and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development.
Key Responsibilities:
As a Systems Engineer, you will drive the planning, verification, IP silicon bringup and debug of various hardware IP for forthcoming AMD Semi-Custom SOC programs.
 
Responsibilities include:
·        Defining and executing the overall functional test plan and verification strategy for a set of AMD IP
·        Driving technical innovation to enhance AMD’s capabilities in IP validation/verification, including tool and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiatives.
·        Debug of IP issues found during pre-silicon, bringup, validation, and production phases of SOC programs
·        Work closely with supporting teams in design, diagnostics, emulation, firmware, and driver to ensure readiness for first silicon arrival, enablement of IP functionality, and debug of critical features.
·        Engage with pre-silicon verification efforts, including but not limited to FPGA-based emulation, Design Verification (DV), and other software/hardware modeling frameworks.
·        Lead collaborative technical discussions to drive resolution on technical issues and roll out technical initiatives
·        Develop knowledge of system architecture/debug and other IP’s
·        Supporting issues on customer platforms as requested by customer support teams

Skills and Experience:
·        Experience:  8+ years of experience in digital logic/platform design, verification, or post-silicon verification, test plan development.
·        Strong programming/scripting skills (eg. C/C++, Perl, Ruby, Python)
·        Extensive experience with Emulation, IP/system level bringup, ASIC debug techniques and methodologies
·        Extensive experience with common lab equipment, including protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.
·        Extensive experience with board/platform-level debug, including clock/power delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization
·        Extensive knowledge of physical and protocol levels of common high-speed interfaces an asset
·        Extensive knowledge PCI-Express architecture, memory subsystems, IOMMU, an asset. 
·        Experience with operating systems concepts and kernel debug
·        In-depth knowledge of PC architectures an asset
·        Bachelors or Masters Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering
·        Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills
