As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD's abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market. The custom layout team furthers and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development. THE ROLE: The Serial Transceiver team in AMD designs high speed serial interface systems which are integrated into CPU, GPU and FPGA products. These devices are used in a wide variety of applications involving wireline communications. Successful physical implementation of these serial communications solutions requires an advanced knowledge of mixed signal layout techniques. Successful candidates will work as part of an experienced team executing projects in the latest CMOS FinFET manufacturing processes. Layout is extremely challenging at these smaller process nodes. Project tasks will include layout of analog and digital circuits (some examples of circuits are CTLE, DFE, Multi-GHz PLL design for Rx & Tx serial solutions running up to 200+Gbps); There is also and opportunity to contribute to methodology initiatives to accelerate design layout. Applicants should have experience in some or all of the following areas: Knowledge of advanced layout techniques and hands on experience of layout on advanced nodes(28nm and below) Top level, block level floorplanning. Knowledge of layout effects and best layout practices Ability to understand Design Rules, minimization of parasitic effects, IR drop and Isolation techniques. Experience of Matching / Interdigitation techniques essential. Good problem solving skills Knowledgeable user of industry standard tools including custom layout entry and physical verification Knowledge of Skill programming language a benefit Keen interest in improving layout methodology Experience of Cadence Virtuoso 12.2 or newer preferred.
