Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Role Overview

As an Artificial Intelligence Engineer within AMD’s IP organization, you will own and drive AI-powered tools, platforms, and methodologies that significantly improve RTL design and verification productivity, quality, and scalability.

This role operates parallel to RTL and Verification teams, focusing on AI-assisted engineering solutions, process transformation, and enterprise-scale automation, rather than direct hardware design or verification.

At the MTS level, you are expected to lead technical direction, influence methodology, and deliver production-ready AI solutions adopted across multiple IP teams.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Ownership & Architecture

• Own the architecture and roadmap for AI-based productivity tools supporting:
• RTL development
• Design verification
• IP quality and signoff flows
• Drive end-to-end solutions from problem definition → deployment → adoption
• Make architectural decisions on:
• Model selection (ML vs LLM vs hybrid)
• Data pipelines
• Tool integration strategy

AI Tools & Automation Development

• Design and implement production-grade AI tools for:
• Regression failure clustering and triage
• Intelligent log analysis and anomaly detection
• Automated lint/CDC/RDC issue classification
• AI-assisted debug and root-cause analysis
• Build context-aware AI assistants for RTL and DV engineers

Process & Infrastructure Integration

• Integrate AI solutions into:
• EDA workflows
• CI/CD and regression systems
• Version control and review pipelines
• Partner with:
• RTL, DV, CAD, and IT teams
• Ensure scalability, security, and reliability of deployed tools

Data, Models & MLOps

• Define and maintain data strategies using:
• Simulation logs
• Coverage databases
• Static analysis reports
• Lead:
• Model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation
• MLOps practices (monitoring, retraining, versioning)
• Establish metrics for:
• Productivity improvement
• Debug time reduction
• Quality uplift

Adoption, Mentorship & Influence

• Drive adoption through:
• Documentation and training
• Feedback-driven iterations
• Mentor junior engineers
• Influence methodology standards across IP teams

Required Qualifications

Education

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in:
• Computer Science
• Electrical / Electronics Engineering
• Data Science / AI (with strong systems background)

Experience

• 5–8+ years of experience in:
• AI/ML tools development or
• EDA methodology / automation or
• Software engineering for hardware organizations
• Strong working knowledge of RTL and Verification workflows (user and methodology level)

Technical Skills

• Expert-level programming in:
• Python
• C++ or Java (preferred)
• Strong experience with:
• Machine learning, NLP, and LLM-based systems
• Data engineering and feature pipelines
• Familiarity with:
• RTL (SystemVerilog) and UVM concepts — methodology-level
• EDA tools and flows (lint, CDC, simulation, regressions)
• Experience integrating AI tools into large engineering organizations

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience building:
• AI copilots for engineering teams
• Log intelligence and analytics platforms
• Exposure to:
• CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitLab)
• MLOps platforms
• Knowledge of:
• IP reuse and signoff processes
• Security and compliance for internal tools

Soft Skills

• Strong technical leadership without direct authority
• Ability to translate engineering pain points into scalable AI solutions
• Clear communication across hardware, software, and management teams
• Bias for action and delivery
