What you do at AMD changes everything
At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible. We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies – building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center.
Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the “extra mile” to achieve unthinkable results. It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world. If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.
About the department
CDFX is a centralized IP and DFT Methdology design group within AMD's Technology and Engineering organization. CDFX has a global footprint with design teams located in several AMD offices in North America and Asia. Our mandate is to optimize and standardize design methodology, design and implementation of critical Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) features for complex state-of-the-art Server, APU computing, game console and GPU graphics products.
DFx (DFT, DFD) is a niche field of ASIC design where essential functionality is added to support semiconductor productization including manufacturing test, yield improvement and board debug. A DFT designer would need to factor many multi-dimensional issues such as power, area and timing. Our work is a key contributor to delivering a high quality design and can improve AMD's operating expenses in the millions.
Job Purpose and Key Responsibilities
- Understand Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) architecture
- Implement and deploy automated design flows to implement DFT features in a complex SOC ASIC design or IP subsystem
- Perform scan ATPG design rule checking, pattern generation, simulation and coverage analysis
- Collaborate with IP teams to configure and embed DFT RTL
- Setup and execute design checks using both industry standard and in-house tools.
- Deliver Perl, TCL scripts that provide scalable solutions key to DFT implementation
- Create block-/chip-level Design Verification (DV) test plan
- Develop test cases, behavioural functional models and testbench
- Verify block-/chip-level DFT/DFD features
- Monitor CAD and/or IP regression results, debug failures and analyze coverage
Skills And Experience Requirements:
- Good object oriented programming skills (C++) is a must
- Experience with Perl/Shell scripting and C
- Digital circuits and VLSI knowledge
- Experience with Verilog environment is an asset
- Strong problem solving skills
- Good written and oral communication skills
- Team player with strong interpersonal skills
What You Will Learn
- Fundamentals of ASIC design and verification techniques
- Fundamentals of Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) techniques (e.g. Scan, memory BIST, Logic BIST, digital state machine, analog DFT)
- High-speed digital and analog circuits
- Design verification infrastructure
- Use of System Verilog, Object Oriented Programming and Universal Verification Methodology
This team is vital to the success of AMD as a growing company. It is a dynamic and exciting ASIC design environment. You will be working on some of the most exciting projects with leading edge technologies
