Job Title

Senior RTL Design Engineer

Role Summary

Work on RTL design and delivery for AMD PCI Express (PCIe) IP used across next-generation server, client, GPU and semi-custom products. The role covers architecture development, RTL implementation, verification support, and silicon bring-up.

This position emphasizes applying AI-assisted RTL methods to improve design productivity, quality, and time-to-market while maintaining robust functionality and performance. Location: Canada (Markham primary; also Vancouver and Ottawa).

Experience Level

Senior-level. No explicit years-of-experience requirement provided.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include RTL design, collaboration with architects, and supporting verification through silicon bring-up.

• Design and implement IP RTL for PCIe used across server, client, GPU and semi-custom products.
• Collaborate with IP and system architects to micro-architect and refine features.
• Apply low-power techniques while preserving system performance.
• Focus on timing closure, lint checking and CDC closure to ensure high-quality RTL.
• Support verification, debug, and silicon bring-up activities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Deploy and validate AI-assisted/AI-generated RTL solutions in production silicon flows.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Strong RTL coding experience using Verilog HDL.
• Proven experience deploying AI-assisted or AI-generated RTL solutions in advanced semiconductor flows.
• Experience working with multiple clock domains.
• Experience using lint and CDC tools and driving closure.
• Experience supporting verification and post-silicon debug.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills; able to work independently when required.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience developing specifications.
• Familiarity with high-speed I/O protocols (PCIe, USB, SATA, Ethernet).

Education Requirements
