Silicon Design Verification Engineer

AMDChicago, ILL6 LeadSeptember 15th, 2026
Overview In this role you will join AMD's SOC Verification Team as a Silicon Design Verification Engineer to work on state-of-the-art verification of complex IP using SystemVerilog, UVM, and formal methods. You will own block- and subsystem-level testbenches, develop constrained-random and directed verification environments, and apply formal verification to ensure design correctness. You will collaborate with RTL engineers to optimize clock gating and verify multiple design aspects while tracking verification quality metrics. This is a hands-on, team-based role in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment that shapes next-generation silicon.
