Overview

As a CPU Core MicroArchitect/RTL Design Engineer at AMD, you will help shape the next generation of high-performance cores, focusing on the core pipeline and cache subsystem. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to define architecture, verify designs, and drive power efficiency and timing convergence, from RTL to post-silicon support. You’ll work at the cutting edge of CPU technology within a collaborative, results-driven environment. This role offers the opportunity to influence AMD’s ambitious CPU roadmap and contribute to technology that moves the world forward.

Responsibilities

RTL design and coding for processor core pipeline with a focus on caches and memory subsystem
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to define high-level architecture
Contribute to microarchitecture definition of next-generation high-performance cores
Contribute to design verification, synthesis, power reduction, timing convergence, and floorplanning
Post-silicon support to ensure successful bring-up

Key requirements

Industry experience in silicon design in the CPU domain
RTL development with CPU-oriented tools
Experience with high-performance CPU design and microarchitecture
Knowledge of processor architecture and logic design
RTL coding for high-speed processor
Power-saving techniques
Exposure to physical design and verification methods
Awareness of synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure concepts
Experience from clean-sheet design to product tape-out and post-silicon debug
Proven microarchitecture development experience (patents, publications, or product features)
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
