The Role

• As a member of the PD pnr team responsible for owning and leading SubSystem of 10 partitions. SoC SS PD closure which includes high frequency CPU, HBM, DDR, Serdes interfaces. Will be responsible for RTL to GDS execution with different team members and will work closely with the methodology and CAD teams across various geographies to achieve first pass silicon success.
  
  
  

• A successful person in this role would be able to work in a collaborative team environment working with other business units, central methodology team driving the group signoff and solving the critical issues with vendor.
• Strong self-driving ability, should have excellent communication skills (both written and oral)
  
  
  

• Owns SS Partitions PnR execution and closure
• Drive new improvement in closure
• Analysis of data and feedback to Design team
• Work with PnR team members for closure convergence starting from Synthesis to Route
• Closure signoff on STA, EMIR, PV
• Work and collaborate with different business units, CAD and central methodology team to drive the requirement
• Automation to refine and improve design signoff requirement and dashboarding
• Ability to organize and present complex technical information in a crisp and concise manner.
• Interact with other PPA (equivalent) teams internal to AMD
• Identify best practices across AMD and industry to update and improve flow/project settings
• To increase the competitiveness of each stage in AMD design flow
• Ability to work with multi-level functional teams across various geographies.
• Highly organized, strong affinity for automation and prioritization.
  
  
  

• 8+ year or more experience design signoff closure
• Strong PnR backround with critical problem solving ability on improving PPA and debug
• Technical depth in CTS, Route, STA.
• EMIR driven power grid knowledge
• PnR and STA signoff correlation drive and convergence
• Strong at SDC coding and debug skills
• Drive new requirements and methodology to aid timing closure at SoC
• Identify the gaps and support flows
• Strong in scripting, Scripting language experience: TCL, Perl, Python, Makefile.
• Drive team towards common requirements and flows
• Experienced in deploying and implementing ML techniques and algorithms in physical design.
• Low power physical design implementation flows ranging from RTL design through synthesis, place and route, timing closure and physical verification
• Experience with different tools from various vendors - Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor.
• AMD block TileBuilder and experience in lower tech nodes (5/3/2) is a plus.
  
  
  

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
