Lead Silicon Design Engineer (FPGA Silicon Architecture/CAD & EDA Flows)

The Role

The AMD FPGA Architecture team (in Bangalore) is seeking motivated engineers to advance power efficiency and performance of current and nextgeneration FPGA devices through interdisciplinary architectural innovation. This work spans circuit and CAD methodologies, power–performance analysis and tradeoffs, algorithmic optimization, silicon and boardlevel characterization, sensor design, and datadriven modeling using statistical and machinelearning techniques across pre and postsilicon phases.

THE PERSON:

You are passionate about modern VLSI architectures, algorithms, and applying machinelearning and statistical techniques to improve designs, flows, and architectures. You are motivated to make tangible impact on design methodology, reliability, and energy efficiency of silicon devices on advanced technology nodes. You collaborate effectively across interdisciplinary teams and bring strong analytical skills, intellectual curiosity, and a clear bias towards taking ideas from concept to execution and closure.

Key Responsibilities

Explore and develop new circuit techniques, methodologies, and architectural concepts to improve power efficiency and performance in FPGA devices
Design and implement sensors, measurement infrastructures, and test vehicles to collect powerperformance data from silicon and hardware platforms
Build highlevel analytical and datadriven models for circuit, architectural, and powermanagement features across pre and postsilicon phases
Analyze powerperformance tradeoffs using architectural, algorithmic, and modeling approaches to guide design decisions
Collaborate closely with FPGA architects, hardware, CAD, and system engineers to define, validate, and drive new architectural and powermanagement features to execution

Preferred Experience

Core Background:

5+ years of overall experience, including 3+ years across one or more of the following domains: ASIC/FPGA design, VLSI architecture, VLSI CAD, software/algorithm development, or closely related areas
Strong expertise in one or more of the following:

FPGA or VLSI architecture and design methodologies
Algorithm development and optimization for hardwareaware power, performance, or efficiency analysis
CAD flows and methodologies, particularly for power, timing, reliability, yield, or design closure
Application of machinelearning or statisticallearning techniques for modeling, prediction, or optimization of pre and postsilicon behavior

Experience working on software, CAD, or algorithmic projects with a clear interest in hardware, architecture, or siliconlevel impact

Desirable / DomainSpecific Experience

Strong knowledge of FPGA architectures (Xilinx or equivalent)
Handson experience with FPGA design tools such as Xilinx Vivado or equivalent
Proficiency in RTL design using Verilog and/or SystemVerilog
Strong digital circuit and logic design fundamentals, with familiarity in SPICEbased circuit simulation

If in doubt, send your resume and let us decide.

Academic Credentials

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, or Instrumentation Engineering with a minimum of 4 years of relevant industry experience
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related fields with a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience
PhD with demonstrated research publications in the candidate's focus area and a broad interest in applying research to realworld silicon, architecture, or design challenges
