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.
 

PRIMARY PURPOSE:

Co-op will be involved in learning and execution of the functional verification strategy for next generation microprocessor designs. Maintain and enhance existing functional verification techniques. Improve existing infrastructure. Work on related projects and/or assignments as needed, to meet team goals.  Develop quality, timely and cost effective solutions independently as a team member. Interface with local RTL designers and verification teams. Develop an effective working relationship with other parties involved.

KEY JOB FUNCTIONS:

Perform functional feature verification of high speed Microprocessor designs, including development/support of infrastructure, directed and random test suites at behavioral RTL level. Support and use the existing environments, infrastructure and execute according to test plans to accommodate both full chip and stand alone block level verification and debug capabilities using simulation tools, debug tools and programming skills, based on in-depth understanding of the architecture and HDL/logical design of the microprocessor.

Use an automated regression infrastructure setup for functional verification of high speed microprocessor designs. Based on thorough understanding of the design architecture, develop, run and debug x86 assembly based directed tests and random exercisers to validate functionality and testability operation of the microprocessor design leveraging C/C++/Perl/assembly programming, logic design and simulation skill set. Resolve all simulation discrepancies and assertion responses for both behavioral and gate level logic models. Measure and analyze coverage results and take necessary actions to fill in coverage holes. 
 
PREFERRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Completion of 2nd year of Electrical Engineering or Computer Science program preferred. MS and PhD candidates w/ or w/o prior industry co-op experience are welcome (all degrees are related to CS or EE). Requires strong understanding of computer architecture and assembly programming. Experience with/understanding of Verilog/SystemVerilog HDL, programming in Perl, C/C++, logic simulation is a plus.
