AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking a ASIC Design Engineer with specific experience with scripting skills around the EDA tool environments to contribute to the development of an automated digital hardware implementation framework for large SOC designs. The candidate will be responsible for maintaining and enhancing an established push-button automation flow which performs implementation of RTL through pre-netlist synthesis and static timing analysis. He/She 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 assist in improving 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 oriented 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, LINT, DFT DRC, CDC, RDC, and CLP 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
• Requires a mix of EDA tool competence and TCL-based scripting capability (both in EDA tool environments and stand-alone Linux TCL shell scripts)
• Familiarity not only with synthesis but with the full repertoire of front end (RTL) implementations 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
