Original job description

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

THE ROLE:
We are seeking an experienced Standard Cell Design & Characterization Engineer to join our department, which is responsible for developing standard cell libraries, supporting third-party standard cell IP, and enabling process characterization infrastructure for all AMD products. These libraries must meet aggressive performance, power, area, reliability, and cost targets across advanced semiconductor technologies.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate will bring expertise spanning standard cell design, characterization methodology development, library enablement, and EDA tool evaluation. Expert understanding of CMOS circuit design, semiconductor device physics, and advanced fabrication processes. Ability to bridge design requirements with CAD implementation and methodology development.

KEY RESPONSIBLITIES:

Design, analyze, and optimize standard cell architectures to achieve performance, power, area, reliability, and manufacturability targets in advanced semiconductor technologies.
Develop circuit-level solutions including transistor sizing, topology optimization, electrical debugging, and design tradeoff analysis for standard cell libraries.
Drive characterization methodologies for timing, power, noise, variation, reliability, and electromigration modeling using industry-standard tools such as Synopsys PrimeLib and Cadence Liberate.
Generate, validate, and release high-quality library deliverables including Liberty, CCS, LVF, LEF, OA, extracted netlists, and reliability views required for implementation and signoff flows.
Define characterization requirements, validation methodologies, quality metrics, and signoff criteria to ensure accurate, robust, and silicon-correlated models.
Evaluate and qualify EDA tools and methodologies, working closely with vendors including Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens, and Ansys to drive product improvements, feature enhancements, and technology enablement.
Develop automation, infrastructure, and scalable workflows using Python, Perl, and Linux scripting to improve efficiency, quality, and productivity across library development and characterization activities.
Collaborate with library designers, CAD teams, foundries, implementation engineers, and product groups to translate design requirements into robust and scalable library solutions.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Experience across multiple technology generations.
Experience working directly with EDA vendors.
Recognized technical expert in standard cell design, characterization, and library enablement.
Deep expertise with Synopsys PrimeLib and/or Cadence Liberate is strongly preferred.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science is preferred
