Job Title

IP/Subsystem Verification Lead

Role Summary

Lead verification efforts for IP blocks, subsystems and SOCs in the Network Technology Solutions Group within AMD's Data Center Solutions organization. The team develops RTL and verification environments for next-generation data center networking ASICs (AI NICs, low-latency and high-speed NICs, GPU cluster networking).

Accountable for defining verification strategy, driving coverage closure, coordinating cross-team integration, and delivering validated RTL for silicon tapeout.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 15 years of verification experience in VLSI systems preferred.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include technical leadership of verification efforts across IP, subsystem and chip levels.

• Act as technical lead for verification teams; set direction and priorities.
• Define verification strategy, plans, and coverage goals for IP, subsystem and SoC projects.
• Design and develop UVM-based verification environments and SystemVerilog testbenches.
• Drive simulation-based verification and closure of functional and coverage targets.
• Coordinate full-chip integration and cross-block verification activities.
• Debug complex RTL issues, perform root-cause analysis, and communicate results to design teams.
• Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, physical design and validation teams.
• Mentor and review work of verification engineers; promote best practices.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience to perform the role; additional skills are listed as advantages.

• Proven experience as a technical lead in a verification team.
• Extensive simulation-based verification experience for ASIC or FPGA blocks and subsystems.
• Strong expertise in UVM-based verification and SystemVerilog.
• Track record of achieving verification coverage closure on ASIC/FPGA projects.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for RTL and verification environments.
• Nice-to-have: experience with Synopsys functional verification tools.
• Nice-to-have: formal verification, full-chip verification experience, or AI-based debug techniques.
• Nice-to-have: knowledge of Python, C/C++, RTL design experience, and networking technologies.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related discipline (for example Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science) preferred.
