SOC Verification with Post Silicon Validation     THE ROLE:   We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced SoC Verification Engineer with a proven track record in executing complex System-on-Chip (SoC) verification from planning to tape-out. In this role, you will lead and execute strategic verification for critical Server SoC infrastructures, specifically focusing on Advanced Power Management , Debug/Trace Architectures , and bridging the gap between Pre-Silicon Verification and Post-Silicon Validation . You will collaborate closely with Architecture, RTL Design, Firmware, and Lab Validation teams to ensure high-quality silicon execution     THE PERSON:     You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/ timezones . You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

Power Management Verification: Architect and execute power-aware verification strategies. Validate low-power states, power controller units (PMU), dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), and clock/reset sequencing using UPF/CPF-based simulations. Debug Architecture Validation: Own the verification of complex SoC debug and trace infrastructure, including JTAG, hardware triggers, breakpoints, and specialized trace networks (e.g., ARM CoreSight). C-Based & UVM Environments: Develop, scale, and maintain advanced hybrid verification environments leveraging both SystemVerilog/UVM and C/C++ direct environments for system-level use-case verification. Post-Silicon Alignment: Author test content portable to emulation and post-silicon platforms. Collaborate with lab teams to mirror post-silicon failures in pre-silicon environments for rapid root-cause analysis. Coverage & Sign-off: Drive complete functional, code, assertion (SVA), and scenario-based coverage closure to meet stringent silicon tape-out criteria     PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:       Core Experience: 8–12 years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC design verification with successful tape-out histories. Low Power Expertise: Strong understanding of static and dynamic low-power concepts, UPF/CPF specifications, and Gate-Level Power-Aware Simulations (PAGLS). Debug Protocol Knowledge: Deep understanding of JTAG, IEEE 1149.x, trace architectures, and processor-specific debug infrastructure (e.g., ARM, RISC-V, or x86). Methodologies: Proficient in SystemVerilog, UVM, SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), and assembly or C/C++ embedded programming for SoC bring-up. SoC Infrastructure: Familiarity with high-speed protocols and fabrics, including AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB, CHI), memory controllers, and interrupt controllers.     ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:     Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering   Benefits offered are described:  AMD benefits at a glance .   AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services. AMD and its subsidiaries are equal opportunity, inclusive employers and will consider all applicants without regard to age, ancestry, color, marital status, medical condition, mental or physical disability, national origin, race, religion, political
