THE ROLE: 

Be part of AMD's analog/mixed signal IP design team responsible for the design and development of next generation IOs, high speed memory (LPDDR5, DDR5, gDDR6, HBM2/HBM3, chip-to-chip,…) and chip-to-chip Gbps proprietary PHY IP solutions.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

• AMS components circuit and layout architecture and design, and design verification
• Definition, review and sign-off on analog/mixed signal IP top level and component level specifications
• Author AMS blocks circuit and architecture technical specifications, AMS pre-silicon verification, AMS post-silicon characterization/validation test plans. 
• Supervise pre-silicon layout, post-silicon characterization and debug. 
• Support product bring-up and debug , and Sign-off on test-plans and characterization reports

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong fundamentals and knowledge of mixed signal circuit architecture and design techniques for receiver/transmitter and PLL/DLL/clocking. In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques
• Solid experience of designing and architecting analog mixed-signal circuit blocks including DLLs, phase interpolator, low jitter clock distribution, bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, high-speed DACs and ADCs. Experience in mixed signal design circuit blocks such as digital/analog DLLs, duty cycle corrector, clock and data recovery, clock mixer, …
• Hand-on design experience in multi-Gbps serial (PCIE, USB, …), parallel high BW memory interface PHY/IOs (DDR4/DDR5, HBM2/HBM3, gDDR5/gDDR6, …) and chip-to-chip links PHY IPs
• Experience in low power design techniques for high speed/custom digital circuit (e.g. CMOS/CML high speed design for counters, dividers, …) design and analysis including transistor level timing sign-off
• Solid understanding of power, area and performance trade-offs in mixed signal IP design
• Design Experience in FinFet advanced CMOS process nodes 16nm/7nm/3nm and below coupled with a solid understanding of transistor device performance and fundamentals
• Proficient in AMS design flows, tools, and methodologies. Familiar with Cadence schematic capture, virtuoso, Spectre and/or HSPICE circuit simulation tools
• Work with project-manager, system architects, IC designers and physical designers to guarantee quality/timely deliverables meeting project's schedule and technical requirements
• Track record of successfully taking ams designs to production
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills able to operate without direct supervision but also work cross-functionally, cross-geographies collaborating and being part of a multi-disciplinary team in a dynamic/fast paste environment.
• Exhibit strong initiative and ownership of tasks and responsibilities. Seek help proactively as well as share and pass on knowledge
