Systems Design Engineer

Job Title

Systems Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and validate system- and SoC-level architectures, develop RTL and test cases, and support ASIC implementation and verification for AMD semiconductor products. Work as part of a hardware engineering team to evaluate designs through synthesis, place-and-route, timing and power analysis, and bring designs to production readiness.

Experience Level

Entry-level — requires approximately 1 year of relevant engineering experience or equivalent graduate-level/internship experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Architect system or SoC-level designs and define interfaces.
• Develop RTL using Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL and perform RTL coding.
• Create and execute verification test cases and support simulation-based validation.
• Work across the ASIC design flow: synthesis, simulation, equivalence checking, static timing analysis, place-and-route considerations.
• Analyze timing and power, identify design weaknesses, and implement fixes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and participate in design reviews.
• Document design decisions, processes, and system specifications.
• Operate under supervision and follow established engineering procedures and best practices.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Approximately one (1) year of experience in the role offered or a closely related engineering role.
• Experience designing system or SoC architecture.
• Test case development and verification experience.
• Proficiency with Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL and RTL design practices.
• Familiarity with ASIC design flows and tools: synthesis, simulation, equivalence checking, static timing analysis.
• Experience with EDA or CAD tools used in ASIC design.
• Software skills in C, C++, or Python.
• Relevant experience may be gained through graduate coursework, research, assistantship, or internship.

Nice-to-have: Not specified.

Education Requirements

Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field is required.
