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. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
The Role
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Modeling Engineer to join our engineering team focused on next-generation ASIC and system architecture development.
The Person
In this role, you will develop high-performance models used for ASIC verification, architecture validation, and software development acceleration. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in C/C++, SystemC modeling, and ARM fast models, along with strong debugging and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and integrate high-level and cycle-accurate models for complex ASIC and SoC platforms
Create models to support ASIC verification, architecture exploration, and software development acceleration
Work closely with ASIC design and verification teams to develop reusable models for validation environments
Develop transaction-level and cycle-accurate models for arbitration, credit loops, deadlock detection, and performance analysis
Integrate ARM Fast Models into SystemC-based simulation environments
Identify and debug architectural, functional, and performance-related issues across hardware and software stacks
Contribute to system-level modeling efforts using frameworks such as SystemC and OMNeT
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams including architecture, design, verification, and software teams
Develop automation and scripting solutions to improve modeling and validation workflows
Required Qualifications
Experience developing and putting together Models for ASIC verification, and SW development acceleration
Strong coding experience using C++, STL/Boost libraries
Experience identifying bugs in architecture, functionality and performance with strong overall debug and analytical skills
Experience working with ASIC design/verification teams, and creating models that can be used for verification
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working with ARM fastmodelsand integrating them in a System model
Experience developing/working with ISAmodels
Experience developing cycle accurate and transaction levelmodelsto model credit loops, arbitration, detecting deadlocks etc.
Experience inModelinglibraries like SystemC, OMNeT
Proficient with scripting languages, C/C++, STL/boost libraries
Great communication and collaboration skills to interact within the team and with cross functional teams
Desired Skills
C++, C, SystemC, ARM fast models
Languages: C, C++, Python, SystemC/SystemVerilog
Tools: SystemC, ARM fast models, Boost/STL libraries, OMNeT
Academic Credentials
BSEE or equivalent. MSEE preferred
LOCATION:
Santa Clara, CA
