Engineering Assistant I

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. THE ROLE: We are seeking an experienced SoC DFX Engineer to help define, design, and verify robust Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Debug (DFD) solutions for complex, high‑performance SoCs. This position offers hands‑on technical depth, system‑level problem solving, and the opportunity to influence DFX strategy in advanced processor designs.
You bring a collaborative mindset and communicate clearly and professionally, enabling you to work effectively with cross‑functional teams distributed across sites and time zones. You are proactive, adaptable, and comfortable navigating ambiguity, with the ability to break down complex technical challenges and drive them to resolution. You take ownership of your work, value constructive feedback, and are eager to learn, continuously improve, and contribute to both technical excellence and a positive team culture.
Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new DFX features to be designed and verified.
Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases
Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
Build the directed and random verification tests
Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
Review functional and code coverage metrics – modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements
Experience with DFT (Design for Test) and DFD (Design for Debug) architecture, design, and verification
Familiarity with test pattern generation, bring‑up, and debug on ATE
Experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC, and C++
Experience with UVM concepts and the SystemVerilog language
Experience with static timing analysis and constraints
Scripting language experience: Perl, Ruby, Makefile, and shell preferred
Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset
