THE ROLE
As a Core Design Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for verifying new and existing microarchitectural features in AMD’s next‑generation x86 CPU cores. This role focuses on unit‑ and core‑level verification using a C++ and Verilog/SystemVerilog‑based environment, with an emphasis on robust testbench architecture, reusable verification agents, and high‑quality coverage closure.
You will work closely with architects, RTL designers, and fellow verification engineers to ensure architectural intent is correctly implemented and thoroughly validated. Success in this role requires strong computer architecture fundamentals, the ability to reason about complex microarchitectural interactions, and a self‑motivated approach to solving ambiguous and challenging verification problems.
