Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences - the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.
The Role
AMD is seeking an ASIC Design Engineer with experience scripting around the EDA tool environments to contribute to the development of an automated digital hardware implementation framework for large SOC designs. The candidate will maintain and enhance an established push-button automation flow which performs implementation of RTL through pre-netlist synthesis and static timing analysis. The candidate will also develop parsers to extract and waive key design metrics from industry-standard synthesis and timing reports. These metrics are published to a dashboarding system which the candidate will help improve to meet the needs of the RTL design teams.
The Person
High-energy candidates with strong written and verbal communication skills, and structured, well-organized work habits, will be successful. Team and goal orientation are essential.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain and enhance a fully automated RTL implementation flow environment facilitating pre-netlist synthesis, static timing analysis, and several other design flows
- Produce scripts to extract metrics from EDA tool shells for reporting purposes
- Recommend novel visualizations to incorporate into the reporting tools
- Analyze the automation’s architecture and skillfully integrate new features
- Support the automation of other flows such as TCM (timing constraints manager), LINT, DFT (Design for Testing), DRC (design rule checks), CDC (clock domain crossing), RDC (reset domain crossing), and CLP (Conformal Low Power checks) as well as a comprehensive regression solution that encompasses all the above
Preferred Experience
- Prior experience developing complex TCL scripts in Synopsys Design Compiler (DC) and PrimeTime (PT)
- Writing custom TCL QC and QoR checks using DC/PT object attributes queries and filters
- Mix of EDA tool competence and TCL-based scripting capability (both in EDA tool environments and stand-alone Linux TCL shell scripts)
- Familiarity with synthesis and the full repertoire of frontend RTL implementation flows
- Proficient with scripting languages TCL, Perl, Python, CSH
- Proficient with Cron and LSF job control automation
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Academic Credentials
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
