THE ROLE
The Memory Subsystem team at AMD is hiring a Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS) RTL and Integration Engineer to lead the definition, design, development, and integration of high-speed LPDDR/DDR memory subsystem solutions and associated IP.
This role includes technical ownership of key memory subsystem components across multiple product lines and close collaboration with architecture, verification, firmware, BIOS, and physical design teams across geographically distributed sites.
THE PERSON
You are a senior-level RTL and integration engineer with deep technical expertise and a system-level mindset. You are comfortable owning complex blocks or subsystems end to end, driving architecture discussions, and mentoring engineers through execution and debug.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Own and drive RTL design and integration for memory subsystem IP and top-level logic
2. Lead micro-architecture definition and translate system requirements into robust RTL implementations
3. Integrate IP blocks to deliver complete DDR/LPDDR memory subsystems across product lines
4. Partner closely with verification teams on test strategy, debug, coverage, and pre-silicon issue resolution
5. Collaborate with physical design teams on timing targets, floorplanning, CDC, and clocking strategies
6. Drive resolution of complex functional, timing, and integration issues across subsystem boundaries
7. Develop and maintain high-quality subsystem documentation, interface definitions, and timing diagrams
8. Support pre-silicon and post-silicon bring-up and work with firmware and BIOS teams to enable features
9. Mentor and technically guide other engineers, promoting best practices and design quality
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
10. Expert proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog for RTL design
11. Extensive experience designing and integrating IP and subsystems in complex SoC environments
12. Strong understanding of memory subsystem architecture and micro-architecture
13. Expert knowledge of clocking, resets, CDC, and synchronization techniques
14. Proven ability to debug complex RTL and integration issues using simulation and emulation tools
15. Experience leading technical efforts and collaborating across design, verification, firmware, and physical design teams
16. Strong experience using Git and/or Perforce
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
17. Hands-on experience with DDR/JEDEC standard IP, DDR PHY, memory controllers, or full memory subsystems
18. Experience serving as technical owner for subsystem or major IP blocks
19. Knowledge of SVA/OVL and synthesizable assertions
20. Experience with VCS and Zebu emulation for debug and bring-up
21. Strong understanding of power management, UPF, and low-power design techniques
22. Experience analyzing system-level performance, power, and architectural tradeoffs
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
