The Role

As a Silicon Design Engineer, you will help plan, build, and execute verification for new and existing features within AMD's wired networking IP. In this role, you will work closely with architecture, RTL, firmware, and software teams to deliver high-quality silicon through robust verification strategies, thoughtful test planning, and deep technical debugging. You will have the opportunity to influence complex digital design verification flows, strengthen coverage quality, and contribute to networking IP used in advanced AMD products.

The Person

You are passionate about modern architecture, digital design, and verification. You bring strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to solve complex engineering challenges. You communicate effectively across teams and geographies, take ownership of technical problems, and are motivated to learn, innovate, and continuously improve verification quality and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, firmware engineers, and software teams to understand new features and define effective verification approaches.
• Build comprehensive test plan documentation that accounts for feature interactions, hardware behavior, firmware flows, and software driver use cases.
• Estimate verification effort for new feature tests and test environment enhancements.
• Develop directed and random verification tests to validate functionality and improve design quality.
• Debug simulation and test failures to identify root cause and partner with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and test issues.
• Review functional coverage and code coverage metrics, then improve tests or constraints to achieve coverage goals.
• Optimize verification workflows and contribute to continuous improvements in testbench quality, simulation efficiency, and overall execution.

Preferred Experience

• Demonstrated experience in IP-level ASIC verification.
• Hands-on experience debugging RTL code using simulation tools.
• Strong knowledge of UVM methodology and SystemVerilog.
• Experience using UVM testbenches in Linux and Windows environments.
• Background in developing UVM-based verification frameworks, testbenches, processes, and flows.
• Experience automating workflows in distributed compute environments.
• Familiarity with simulation profiling, efficiency improvement, acceleration, and formal verification.
• Scripting experience with Perl, Python, Makefile, and shell preferred.
• Exposure to leadership or mentorship is desired.
• Knowledge of networking protocols such as Ethernet, UAL, LLR, and CBFC is desired.
• Experience using AI tools to improve productivity, automation, or engineering workflows.

Academic Credentials

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field preferred.
• Equivalent practical experience will also be considered where applicable.

LOCATION:

• Hyderabad and Bangalore (Hybrid) – open to candidates based in either location
