Senior Functional Verification Engineer (Graphics/Multimedia)

Job Title

Senior Functional Verification Engineer (Graphics/Multimedia)

Role Summary

Join AMD's Client/Graphics Group as a front-end design/integration verification engineer focused on graphics and multimedia SoCs. You will work with architecture, IP, physical design, and product teams to plan and execute pre-silicon verification and help achieve first-pass silicon success.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 12+ years of ASIC design verification experience as indicated by the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include planning and executing functional verification across IP, full-chip, multi-chip and system levels, and mentoring junior engineers.

• Participate in pre-silicon verification for full-chip, blocks, multi-chip and system-level verification.
• Define and review verification plans at SoC and IP levels; write test plans and testcases.
• Develop complex verification environments using coverage- and assertion-based methodologies.
• Implement self-checking, reusable, automated testbenches at block and full-chip levels.
• Create constrained-random generators and reference models; perform coverage analysis.
• Perform failure debug and functional simulation debug to isolate silicon risks.
• Perform hands-on functional verification and carve out verification scope as needed.
• Guide and mentor junior team members; collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to drive solutions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for day-one impact, plus a few preferred additions.

• Must-have: Minimum ~12+ years in ASIC design verification with strong practical experience.
• Must-have: Deep knowledge of ASIC design flow and SoC architecture.
• Must-have: Strong Verilog and SystemVerilog experience; experience with PLI interfaces.
• Must-have: Experience developing testbenches and models in Verilog/SystemVerilog or SystemC.
• Must-have: Experience with coverage-based verification methodology, constrained-random generation, and assertions.
• Must-have: Proven debug skills in functional simulations, random test generation, coverage analysis, and failure triage.
• Must-have: Programming skills in C/C++ and scripting (Perl/shell) for verification infrastructure.
• Must-have: Strong communication skills and ability to work in a global team environment.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with low-power verification (NLP/UPF) and emulation.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering (as stated in the posting).
