IC Design Exploration Intern

As an AMD  [intern/co-op] , you’ll be placed at the epicenter of the AI ecosystem, working alongside experts and industry pioneers. You’ll do important work, learn new skills, expand your network, and gain real-world experience on projects that impact millions of end-users worldwide. Whether you’re an undergrad or a PhD student, your contributions matter—and your experience here will be a launchpad for what comes next.   LOCATION:  Singapore CRITERIA:  Current students studying in Universities which are based in Singapore INTERNSHIP DURATION: M inimum 20 weeks full time commitment with the option of extending up to a further 12 weeks.   Intern - IC Design Exploration   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO LEARN: Gain industry experience working on the latest technology process nodes. Join us and learn about how fulfilling a career in IC design can be! As we have various disciplines within IC design, we would get to know you better through the application process and assign you to the most suitable team to best fit you! PROJECT OVERVIEW: Jump start your IC design journey by being part of a dynamic team covering many areas including but not limited to analog design and implementation, digital design and implementation, functional verification, post-silicon validation, and many more! You will be part of the SerDes Technology team and get the opportunity to collaborate with our teams around the globe. Being alongside engineers across different disciplines means that you would get a better understanding of the differences between different disciplines so that you are able to make an informed decision on which path to pursue when you join us after your graduation.

First few weeks Get to know more about Singapore Design Team at AMD Strengthen foundational technical IC design knowledge Get comfortable working independently as well as in a team environment across multiple geographical sites. Next few months Develop soft skills such as communication and presentation by participating in technical discussions and conduct knowledge sharing sessions Be able to appreciate the considerations when making engineering judgement decisions Work on projects as part of specialization (see details in section below) Throughout the internship Participate in company/department events, social events, recreation events, etc SPECIALIZATIONS: (would be attached to one of the following) Analog design Design and development of high speed analog and mix signal circuit and its auxiliary circuit block design (112Gbps and above) in advanced technology node (3nm, 7nm) Use, simulate and analyze log and report generated from EDA tools and make design trade-off to get the required results within the scheduled milestones Learn the architecture and design of SERDES block (Transmitter, receiver, pll etc) Basic scripting and programming (Unix, Pytthon, Perl) Familiarization with IC design tools (Cadence ADE/Spectre, Synopsys Hspice/XA, etc) Learn and understand IC design flow to implement circuit design Candidates will have the opportunity to explore cross function experience eg RTL/Layout/STA/Verification Analog layout implementation Layout implementation in high speed circuit and its auxiliary circuit block design (112Gbps and above) in advanced technology node (3nm, 7nm) Perform various physical verification checks such as Layout-versus-Schematic (LVS) and Design Rule Check (DRC) to meet circuit function, performance, and process requirements Understand basic Process Design Rules and differences in metal schemes. Basic scripting and programming (Unix, Pytthon, Perl) Familiarization with IC design tools (Cadence Virtuoso , Calibre, etc) Learn and understand IC design flow to implement layout design Candidates will have the opportunity to explore cross function experience eg RTL/Circuit /PnR/STA/Verification Analog static timing analysis Developing timing models for advanced technology nodes mixed signal circuits and complex standard cells.
