From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMDis shapingthefuture. Whetheryou'redesigning next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, orbringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger- technologythat moves the world forward.The Full Custom IC Layout team is seeking an engineer to design and implement layouts for digital and analog circuits based on schematics using industry-standard CAD tools and advanced semiconductor process technologies. Examples of layouts developed by our team include high-speed I/O drivers and receivers, delay lines, duty-cycle correction (DCC) circuits, calibration circuits, clock buffers, and custom digital circuits.

This team plays a critical role in enabling AMD's next-generation semiconductor products. Team members collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines to solve complex technical challenges and contribute to innovative solutions used by customers worldwide. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on impactful technologies while developing expertise in advanced process nodes, custom layout methodologies, and physical design verification.

In this role, you will contribute across multiple phases of the design lifecycle, from initial floor planning and routing of lower-level logic gates through top-level integration, verification, and tape out activities. You will use a variety of verification tools throughout the design hierarchy, including DRC, LVS, EM/IR, ERC, and Latch-up/ESD verification. As you grow in the role,



you may also collaborate with and help coordinate work across globally distributed engineering teams and external design partners.

Create high-quality, manufacturable layouts for digital and analog building blocks at the transistor level using Cadence Virtuoso. Explore and leverage AI-assisted tools and workflows to improve layout productivity, verification efficiency, and design quality.

Experience in custom IC layout design is preferred. Candidates with relevant industry, research, internship, or project experience are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated understanding of CMOS device and circuit theory, as well as analog and digital layout best practices.

Experience with scripting or automation using Perl, TCL, SVRF/TVF, SKILL, or similar languages is a plus.
