Senior Staff Memory Subsystem Verification Engineer

Role Overview

The Senior Staff Memory Subsystem Verification Engineer will be part of the Memory Subsystem team at AMD, focusing on the design, definition, and verification of high-speed LPDDR/DDR memory subsystem solutions and relevant IP. The position involves leading verification efforts across various product lines and participating in pre-silicon and production-level firmware co-verification using advanced methodologies.

Experience Level

This role is classified under the Level - Senior category, requiring significant expertise in memory subsystem verification and engineering best practices.

Key Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities of this role include:

• Architecting, developing, and maintaining UVM-based verification environments for memory subsystems.
• Leading verification activities at both IP and subsystem levels, which encompasses test planning, coverage definition, and execution.
• Developing and debugging co-verification environments that integrate firmware with hardware simulations.
• Integrating and debugging Memory VIP, transactors, monitors, and checkers.
• Analyzing functional and code coverage, while managing regressions.
• Collaborating with teams across various locations and mentoring other engineers on best practices.

Qualifications

Required qualifications for this position include:

• Strong knowledge and application skills in Object-Oriented Programming.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, and C/C++.
• Experience with IP and subsystem verification using industry-standard simulators (e.g., VCS).
• Background in testbench architecture along with firmware/hardware co-verification.
• Proficiency in Python, shell scripting, and version control tools such as Git or Perforce.

Preferred Experience

Preferred qualifications include experience with:

• DDR/JEDEC standard IP, DDR PHY, or memory controllers.
• Assertions (SVA/OVL), SystemC, and Zebu emulation.
• End-to-end verification from front-end development through to lab bring up.
• Technical mentorship of engineers.

Education Requirements

A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is required, along with relevant practical experience in verification engineering.
