Staff Digital Design Engineer in Penicuik

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.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced engineer passionate about circuit power optimization to apply their skills to high-speed SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) systems. As part of a team, you will evaluate and optimize advanced DSP algorithms and circuits for 200+Gbps SerDes for lowest static and dynamic power consumption. Your work will directly impact the performance of AMD’s next-generation connectivity solutions for markets such as data center networking and wireless telecommunications.

You are a collaborative team player with deep expertise in digital circuit power analysis, optimization and practical implementation. You communicate effectively across hardware and algorithm teams, and thrive in a fast-paced, cross-site environment. Your analytical skills and commitment to continuous learning enable you to solve complex problems with novel solutions, elevating the team’s capabilities.

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers and verification engineers to define, refine and implement low power DSP features for cutting-edge and next-generation SerDes transceivers.
• Model and evaluate equalization, filtering and sequence detection algorithms for power efficiency.
• Contribute to RTL development, using front-end ASIC tools to ensure the highest quality code.
• Contribute to power testcase creation with verification engineers.
• Develop comprehensive documentation detailing power optimization approaches.

• Proven experience in power analysis and optimization of digital logic at advanced process nodes.
• Strong background in digital design techniques, RTL (preferably SystemVerilog).
• Experience with PowerArtist and/or PPRTL tools, scripting and flows.
• Familiarity with ASIC front-end design tools and flows, in particular vectored power analysis and gate-level simulation.
• Familiarity with equalization techniques such as FFE, CTLE, DFE or MLSE and their implementation would be an advantage.

BSc or Masters in Electronics, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related field.
