ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. ### SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER 2 THE ROLE Join AMD's Emulation and Prototyping team and contribute to the development of next-generation SoCs powering the world's leading computing platforms. In this role, you will help develop the infrastructure, validation environments, and workflows that enable early hardware and software bring-up before silicon is available. Working alongside experienced engineers across architecture, design, firmware, software, and verification teams, you will gain hands-on experience with industry-leading emulation technologies, hardware/software co-validation, and system-level debug. This position offers a unique opportunity to develop expertise in advanced pre-silicon validation and emulation methodologies while making meaningful contributions to AMD's next-generation product development programs. ### THE PERSON Passionate about computer architecture, ASIC development, and pre-silicon validation. Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills. Self-motivated, adaptable, and eager to learn new tools, technologies, and methodologies. Effective communicator who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional teams. Detail-oriented and committed to developing high-quality engineering solutions. Interested in leveraging emerging technologies, including AI-assisted engineering tools, to improve productivity and innovation. ### RESPONSIBILITIES Develop and maintain scalable emulation testbenches, validation infrastructure, and reusable automation frameworks. Support bring-up, debug, and validation activities on emulation and prototyping platforms. Collaborate with architecture, design, firmware, software, and verification teams to plan and execute pre-silicon validation. Create automation and test content using Python and other scripting languages. Develop and debug embedded firmware, boot code, and validation applications used for feature enablement and hardware/software co-validation. Analyze functional failures, drive root-cause debug, and contribute to new emulation and prototyping methodologies. Validate next-generation features, protocols, and interfaces while leveraging AI-powered tools to enhance engineering productivity. ### PREFERRED SKILLS Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. Experience with C/C++, Python, TCL, and/or SystemVerilog. Understanding of digital logic design, computer architecture fundamentals, and Linux-based development environments. Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Exposure to ASIC design, design verification, FPGA development, emulation, or related hardware development projects through coursework, research, or internships. Familiarity with industry-standard interfaces and protocols such as PCIe, CXL, DDR, AXI, or other AMBA protocols. Experience with firmware or embedded software development is a plus. ### Location Vancouver, BC, Canada #LI-CC4 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
