Design Verification Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.

AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

THE ROLE:

We are looking for an experienced Verification Engineer to join our team for cutting-edge server memory products. This individual will be responsible for driving the verification efforts of DDR interfaces, including advanced memory protocols such as DFI, DDR5, and LPDDR5/LPDDR6, across a range of DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules). The ideal candidate will possess advanced knowledge of SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, and scripting languages like Python/Perl.

THE PERSON:

You have excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, trainings, executive briefings, etc. You are highly adept at collaboration among top-thinkers and engineers alike, ready to mentor and guide, and help to elevate the knowledge and skills of the team around you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work with a team verification engineers in the development and execution of verification plan for DDR5, LPDDR5, and DFI memory systems in server products.
• Comprehend the PHY's interaction in the complete system which includes HW (Silicon), FW, BIOS & SW and ensure that FW, BIOS & SW are aligned to enable all features of the memory interface.
• Understand RTL and micro-architecture sufficiently to engage in cross functional discussions with IP/Domain architects and Design engineers for planning and debug.
• Knowledge sharing and other contributions to verification methodology
• Support Post-Si teams for Product Performance, Power and functional issues debug/resolution

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Developed and implemented SystemVerilog and UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) based testbenches, simulation environments, and functional coverage models for DDR5 and LPDDR5 systems.
• Worked closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams to align on system-level memory architecture, identify potential integration issues, and define validation requirements early in the design phase.
• Built VIPs and BFMs for memory interfaces from scratch (preferrable)
• GLS, NLP, XPROP simulation experience is preferable
• Strong proficiency in system verilog assertions, constraints and coverage.
• Worked in formal verification methods, with proven record of tool usage beyond the standard apps.
• Excellent communication, management, and presentation skills.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s +8years or Master’s degree +6 years in related discipline preferred

LOCATION: Santa Clara, CA ( Folsom, CA and Austin, TX)
