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.
 

The Role:

• We are looking for Digital design and Verification intern with a background in Computer Architecture, excellent coding skills in Verilog, System Verilog, C, C++ and very good knowledge of processor pipeline and memory hierarchy. In this role, you will join our GPU design and verification team and gain valuable, hands-on experience in all aspects of Shader (SIMD) processor design and verification.

The Person:

• The ideal candidate enjoys working in a team environment and has a good understanding of digital/RTL design and debug techniques. The position requires attention to detail, a willingness and ability to learn quickly, and excellent team communication skills. Candidate must have strong problem analysis skills.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Work with senior engineers to implement Digital Verilog RTL (register transfer logic) designs using Verilog programming and various digital design tools.
• Develop System Verilog based verification models and tests to validate these designs.
• Work with the team to debug and resolve complex design and verification problems as part of the overall development.
• Participate in timing constraint, synthesis, and design audit work.
• Participate with team members in the development of functional specifications, test plans, and work to debug simulation test failures.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Course work or experience working on Shaders in GPU subsystems or SIMD processors.
• Hands-on work in C++ programming for either hardware modeling or testbench development or projects of similar scope and complexity.
• Experience using industry standard logic simulation tools like Questa, VCS or NCSIM.
• Experience with industry standard verification testbench and IP methodology such as UVM or similar.
• Knowledge and/or experience of Hardware Verification methodology and techniques such as simulation, debug, coverage, formal, etc.
• Assembly language programming and Instruction Set Architecture of a current microprocessor.
• Proficiency in scripting using Unix shell, Perl or Python and experience in object oriented programming using any high level language.

Academic Credentials:

• Currently in your senior year as an undergraduate pursuing a BS or pursuing a Master's in Computer Architecture and/or Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Processor architecture, digital arithmetic, RTL design, verification.
