SOC RTL Design Lead

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ HE ROLE : As a member of the Computing & Graphics (CG) SoC Architecture team, this SoC Power Management Design Engineer will develop and design custom silicon for gaming consoles, datacenter, client, or embedded computer vision SOCs and related platforms. In this role, you will work with the lead SoC architect to define customer-specific architectures and contribute to product specifications, micro-architecture specifications, performance and power trade-offs. The role will work from early concept development through the development phases to final production. 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 : Work with AMD’s Engineering teams, and IP teams to help aid in their integration, implementation, and documentation of flows etc., Ability to understand power consumption and power delivery Analyze performance across voltages for DVFS states of IPs, including inference engines, CPUs, Graphics, memory controllers, peripheral interfaces, caches and network-on-chip fabric. Interacting with the technology teams, silicon validation, and product engineering teams to establish voltage-frequency design points Working with the systems and architecture team to evaluate and define definitions for on-die PDN, power gating, package, and system power delivery. Analyze effects of control algorithms for management throttling mechanisms to achieve peak performance within thermal and peak current limits. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE : Solid understanding of SoC construction including fabric connectivity, memory systems, power delivery, clock distribution, floor planning, and packaging Strong understanding of SoC power management, power dissipation and mobile battery life Skills in scripting, data analysis, experience with EDA tools, physical design tools for power optimization, VLSI design flow and CMOS technology Ability to understand and model thermal control loops and throttling mechanisms Strong problem solving, organizational and communication skills, and ability to work in a dynamic and diverse environment Proficiency in scripting languages (Python) is highly preferred Experience with Power Architect, Power Artist and VisualSim a plus Detailed thinking skills. Ability deal with novel problems from different perspectives and from different levels of abstraction Ability to analyze and understand sophisticated workflows and processes, and develop innovative ways in streamlining and automating ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS : Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering / Electrical Engineering #LI-PM2 Benefits offered are described : AMD benefits at a glance.
