THE ROLE:

AMD-Xilinx is seeking a capable and motivated SOC Design Engineer to be part of Front End SOC Design Team of next generation Adaptable Compute Acceleration Platform devices. You will take part in design and implementation of high-performance, low-power SOCs and SOC Chiplets targeting a wide range of applications as well as customer specific products. This high visibility and critical role will require technical leadership in developing microarchitecture, implementing functions in RTL, integrating IP from internal and external sources, ensuring quality and getting design ready for synthesis. You will also contribute to definition/evolution of SOC Design methodologies and processes for future projects.

THE PERSON:

Successful candidate will have an SOC/ASIC Design background, would have participated in several silicon design projects with increasing level of scope/responsibilities and has a history of achieving results through effective execution.

KEY RESPONISIBILITES:

• Define and specify micro-architecture of SOC building blocks and necessary infrastructure based on architecture, PPA, DFT, Functional Safety requirements
• RTL design and debug of functions in Verilog / System Verilog
• Integration of hard macro or soft RTL IP into SOC top level
• Power domain/island creation (with UPF)
• Execution of quality checks to improve quality of RTL/UPF/SDC deliverables
• Analysis of design metrics and making implementation choices to optimize PPA
• Targeting SOC RTL to process technology
• Facilitating DFx/MBIST instrumentation
• Floor-planning and partitioning
• Work with verification and physical design teams to achieve high quality design and successful tape out
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve novel problems across multiple functional areas in development of clocking features and/or algorithms
• Chip level Functional Safety analyses such as FMEDA and DFA
• Participate in tapeout checklists and reviews
• Build automation (Python, TCL, Perl) to enhance productivity of self and team

PREFERRED EXPERIECE:

• Digital design and experience with RTL design in Verilog/System Verilog.
• Solid understanding of DFT technologies and some experience with execution of DFT flows
• Experience with SOC tools including Spyglass, Questa CDC, Cadence Conformal, VCS simulation
• Experience in specifying timing constraints with several clock domains and modes
• Basic experience with Synopsys Design Compiler and Primetime
• Experience designing with multiple power domains and islands using UPF
• TCL, Python, Perl scripting
• Version control systems such as Perforce, IC Manage or Git
• Understanding of FPGA architecture and implementation flow
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to organize and present complex technical information
• Fluent in working with Linux environment
