Lead RTL - Physical Design Engineer (SMTS)

Join AMD as we push the boundaries of whats possible in graphics and compute technology. We are seeking a talented RTL Physical Design Engineer to contribute to the development and optimization of our cutting-edge CDNA and RDNA graphics IP. This role involves transforming sophisticated RTL designs into robust and efficient physical layouts, critical to the performance of our next-generation graphics and compute solutions.

THE PERSON :

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites / timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

Key Responsibilities :

• Physical Design Implementation :
• Translate complex CDNA and RDNA graphics IP RTL designs into optimized physical layouts.
• Utilize industry-leading EDA tools for synthesis, place-and-route (PnR), and physical verification processes to take the design thru mock-taepout
• Performance Optimization :
• Focus on power, performance, and area (PPA) optimization to meet the stringent requirements of high-performance graphics and compute products.
• Collaborate with architecture and front-end design teams to align RTL design with physical constraints and objectives.
• Verification and Timing Closure :
• Conduct static timing analysis (STA) to ensure robust timing closure and sign-off for graphics IP.
• Implement and verify design rule checks (DRC), layout versus schematic checks (LVS), and power grid analysis tailored to CDNA and RDNA requirements.
• Collaboration and Communication :
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including architects, RTL designers, and verification engineers to ensure seamless integration and functionality of graphics IP cores.
• Provide feedback and suggest improvements to design methodologies and processes to push the technology envelope further.
• Documentation and Reporting :
• Maintain comprehensive design documentation, methodologies, and updates.
• Prepare detailed reports on design progress, performance metrics, and any technical challenges encountered.
