Principal Silicon Design Engineer

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE ROLE: The candidate will be a Lead Member of the Memory I/O design team supporting the definition, specification, system simulation and implementation of future LPDDR IPs. The focus of the activity will be centered around the circuit architecture and design of critical high-speed analog and digital blocks, definition of algorithms for calibration, equalization and development of abstracted models for link performance simulations. THE PERSON: The ideal candidate will have strong experience building Memory Phys and High-speed IOs with track record of multiple successful Tape-out and productization. You will have analytical thinking and inventive spirit in combination with a solid understanding of risks and risk mitigation. You also have Strong/effective communication skillsand enthusiastic team-first mentality KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Contribute to the definition of circuit architecture and to the design implementation of various state-of-the-art, low power blocks, and area efficient circuits for LPDDR PHY Design circuits for High Speed IOs that include Transmitter, Receiver – CTLE/DFE, Delay Lines, DAC, OpAmp, Comparator and voltage regulators Work closely with other teams to port design to different nodes while improving the overall PPA from previous generation Develop models for link-level statistical performance simulation of the PHY (Link Training, PHY, DRAM, DB/RCD, DFE training, Transmit Equalization) and application of the same to the development and optimization of design. Documentation of the micro-architecture and algorithms, and guidance of Analog, Digital, Firmware and Verification teams on the training and verification of the circuits. Work closely with various disciplines, especially Analog Mixed Signal design, Digital Design and Firmware, as well as Design Verification to ensure optimal implementation of the overall PHY architecture and algorithms and full coverage of the features Participate and contribute to the definition of development flows that improve efficiency and quality of execution Lead design liaison for post Silicon characterization and productization/volume production efforts PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: A proven successful track record in circuit-architecture and modeling for High Speed Ios A proven track record of leading junior engineers to deliver complex circuits Solid and hands-on knowledge of algorithms and equalization/calibration/clocking techniques for high-speed circuit design. Solid knowledge of industry-standard tools and best-in-class practices for PHY modeling, both in terms of abstracted models (e.g. Matlab/Simulink) as well as Verilog/AMS-based. Good knowledge of IO and system integration (signaling/equalization techniques, signal integrity, power integrity). Ability to dig into RTL or FW code supporting the custom circuit implementation ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering LOCATION: Penang, Malaysia #LI-FY #LI-Hybrid Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance. AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
