As an Silicon Design Engineer supporting the AMD G&E IP organization, you will develop, integrate, and support infrastructure tools that improve operational efficiency for engineering teams, with a strong focus on design verification users. This team is central to initiatives that leverage AI to boost productivity across the organization. You will capture stakeholder requirements, translate them into actionable tool capabilities, and partner with the infrastructure team to deliver scalable solutions. The role also includes reducing technical debt, applying Lean/Agile practices to improve team productivity, and using tool data to increase visibility and support data-driven ASIC development prioritization.

You are a hands-on problem-solver who improves how engineering teams work. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, ask effective questions, and turn operational pain points into practical tool solutions. You understand design verification workflows well enough to build credibility with users, identify useful data signals, and prioritize improvements that affect ASIC execution. You bring technical curiosity, a service-oriented mindset, and a drive to build reliable tools that make teams more effective. Does this describe you? If so, then join us!
