Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.\nResponsibilities:\nTHE ROLE:\nAs a CPU Core Design Verification Engineer, you will verify new and existing microarchitectural features in AMD's next-generation x86 CPU cores. Working within a C++ and Verilog/SystemVerilog-based environment, you will independently own a portion of the unit- or core-level verification effort — developing tests, checkers, and coverage and driving them to a quality result with limited supervision.\n\nYou will collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and fellow verification engineers, both within the verification team and across departments, to ensure microarchitectural intent is correctly implemented and validated. Success requires solid computer architecture fundamentals, the ability to analyze and evaluate microarchitectural behavior using standard verification methods, and a self-motivated approach to owning the quality and timeliness of your work.\nTHE PERSON:\nYou have a strong interest in computer architecture and processor microarchitecture and enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software. You are a self-motivated problem solver who takes responsibility for the quality and timeliness of your portion of the project, planning your work over a horizon of weeks to months.\n\nYou value clean, scalable verification environments and apply sound testbench and agent principles in your work. You make technical decisions independently within your area, put checks and balances in place to catch issues early, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively across teams and time zones.\n\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nCollaborate with RTL designers, architects, and verification engineers to understand microarchitectural features, corner cases, and verification requirements\nOwn the test plan, stimulus, checking, and functional coverage for an assigned portion of unit- or core-level verification\nDesign, implement, and maintain C++-based and SystemVerilog-based testbench components, applying modular, reusable verification agent patterns\nWrite and maintain SystemVerilog assertions and functional coverage models\nDebug simulation failures, independently drive root-cause analysis, and work cross-functionally to resolve RTL or testbench issues\nDrive functional and code coverage closure for your area, identify verification gaps, and improve stimulus and checking as needed\nApply AI-assisted and agent-based development tools to improve verification productivity\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nGood understanding of computer architecture\nExperience using C++ and SystemVerilog to develop verification infrastructure for complex hardware designs\nWorking knowledge of Digital Logic Design and RTL design concepts using Verilog\nFamiliarity with constrained-random testing and coverage-driven verification\nUnderstanding of assembly-level programming and instruction execution at the ISA level\nExperience or familiarity with formal tools and/or functional verification tools by VCS, Cadence, Mentor Graphics\nScripting knowledge (Python, Perl) is a plus\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering\nLOCATION: Austin, TX\n\nThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.\n\n#LI-MR1\n\n#LI-Hybrid\nQualifications:\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\n\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
