What you do at AMD changes everything 
 

At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible.  We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies – building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center. 
 

Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the “extra mile” to achieve unthinkable results.  It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world.   If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.
 

Analog Mixed-Signal Power Design Engineer

The Role:

We are seeking a senior Analog Mixed Signal design engineer to join the LDO (low drop out regulators) /Power Management design team. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a team responsible for defining, specifying, and implementing innovative power management solutions for AMD’s compute, graphics and gaming products.

The Person:

We are looking for a candidate with validated knowledge and experience in the following areas.

• Has extensive knowledge of voltage regulators, supply monitors, temperature monitors, and other power management, analog and mixed-signal circuits
• Has excellent detailed oriented analytical and problem-solving skills
• Is a self-starter, able to drive tasks independently and efficiently to completion
• Has strong and effective communication skills
• Has ability to provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers

Key Responsibilities:

In this role you will:

• Design/Implement various voltage regulators, supply monitors, temperature monitors, frequency monitors and other power management, analog and mixed-signal circuits
• Deliver detailed specifications and documentation
• Develop circuit schematics and working with layout designers to drive designs to completion (including physical verification and backend/reliability flows)
• Drive design and layout reviews to ensure quality of work you're doing and mitigate overall risk
• Work closely with various fields (e.g. Layout, Logical Design, Physical Design, Firmware, and Design Verification) to ensure successful cross-team engagement and high-quality execution
• Document and summarize design and simulation results and hosting well organized design reviews
• Performing pre-Tapeout electrical check tools including EMIR/SigEM (signal electro migration), Logical Equivalence, Electrical Static Discharge compliance, etc.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with Cadence Spectre simulator and/or HSPICE
• Experience with voltage regulators and voltage reference designs
• Experience with Cadence schematic entry and layout tools
• Familiarity with package resonance on silicon design
• Experience with integration of power management systems in large SOCs
• Experience with High Current (>1 A) designs
• Familiarity with deep sub-micron FINFET CMOS processes and second order effects that affect sub-micron silicon processes (e.g. NBTI/PBTI, hot-electron, etc.)
• Familiarity with Logical Equivalence Check, Totem, Electrical Static Discharge Perc, Spicecheck, and System Verilog
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux environments, Perl, Python, and/or MATLAB

Academic Credentials:

• Masters or PHD in Electrical or Computer Engineering
