AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

The Memory IO team is looking for passionate and experienced Verification engineers for the verification of high-speed LPDDRx, DDRx and associated IPs through the utilization of complex co-simulation hybrid environments and traditional UVM methodologies.  Be a part of the definition, design, and development phase of industry-leading Memory IP, as well as the overall memory subsystem.  This opportunity includes verification of the memory subsystem across multiple product lines as well as verification of pre-silicon production level firmware verification.

THE PERSON:

Are you looking to take on and tackle advanced engineering challenges? We are looking for open minded, flexible, innovative, and creative Engineers looking to join a new team to develop an end to end verification solution from IP/subsystem verification through advanced technics, including BIOS verification. Are you looking for a ground floor opportunity that requires being a self-starter and the ability to independently drive tasks to completion? We are also looking for strong interpersonal and communication skills – this position will be working collaboratively across the AMD organization! If this sounds like you, please apply!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Excellent knowledge of C, C++, SystemVerilog, UVM object-oriented design as well as scripting language.

• Experience in ground up development and verification using UVM/SystemVerilog with IP and Subsystem verification as main objective using VCS.

• Advanced testbench architecture, microarchitecture, development, and implementation experience, including co-verification.

• In depth knowledge of code and functional coverage constructs as well as test plan to coverage relationships.

• Development and debug of co-verification environment with production level firmware.

• Development and maintenance of test suite through firmware feature set modification as well as custom transactor-based stimulus development.

• Subsystem and block level test plan development in relationship to FW/HW co-verification and maintenance as well as subsystem test plan development.

• Ability to adapt and learn new toolsets and framework, making updates as needed.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in hardware/Firmware co-verification in UVM System Verilog, C-DPI, and gasket structured testbench.

• Knowledge and development of monitors and checkers and/or experience developing SVA/OVL and synthesizable assertions.

• Experience with DDR/JEDEC standard IP, DDR PHY, or Memory Controller verification.

• Understanding and experience utilizing architectural models.

• Knowledge of SystemC and Python.

• Zebu Emulation verification and debug experience.

• Memory VIP integration, initialization, and debug experience.

• End to end verification experience from front end verification through lab bring up

• Strong understanding of synchronization techniques (handshakes, message passing); knowledge of hardware level clocking and multi-domain simulation synchronization.

• Strong knowledge of git and perforce.

• Development and maintenance of regressions as well as coverage databases.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCED DESIRED:

• SoC IP knowledge and architectural understanding of the purpose of each IP.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and relevant experience, or

• Master's or PhD degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with relevant experience.
