Design and Verification Engineer, Pathfinding

Job Title

Design and Verification Engineer, Pathfinding

Role Summary

Work on Micron's Pathfinding Design Team to verify and develop next-generation memory technologies. The role covers full-chip functional verification and extends into array architecture definition, mixed-signal circuit work, circuit simulation/optimization, and floor planning.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No specific years of experience specified.

Responsibilities

Provide verification and design support across the memory design flow from array to interface block.

• Perform full-chip functional verification for memory development projects.
• Create verification plans based on composition specifications.
• Develop SystemVerilog testbenches and apply SystemVerilog assertions to achieve functional coverage.
• Collaborate with digital design teams to debug and validate test cases.
• Contribute to mixed-signal circuit design, circuit simulation, optimization, and floor planning.
• Support novel concept development for DRAM and emerging memory technologies.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and tools for immediate contribution.

• Proven experience with full-chip functional verification and verification plan development.
• Proficiency with UNIX and Cadence design environments (simulation, schematic entry, SPF extraction).
• Experience with circuit-level verification using analog, SPICE, and Verilog tools.
• Familiarity with SystemVerilog assertions and verification methodologies; testbench development experience.
• Basic understanding of semiconductor physics and electronic circuits.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with digital design teams to isolate and resolve functional issues.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with design-for-test (DFT) methodologies for memory products.
• Exposure to RTL verification, static timing analysis (STA), or timing-accurate Verilog.
• Experience with DRAM or other emerging memory technologies.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
