Mid-level. 2–5 years of experience in memory design or characterization is preferred.
Responsibilities
Primary duties include design and validation of memory IP and supporting flows.
- Design, margining, characterization, verification and release of memory instances (single-port, dual-port SRAM, register files).
- Prepare and validate multiple views: Verilog, Liberty, schematics, LEF and GDS.
- Use EDA tools for development and verification; support characterization and tapeout readiness.
- Develop and maintain automation and scripting to support flows.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet performance, power and area targets.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and personal qualities. Optional items are noted.
- Proven experience with SRAM and fundamental digital circuit concepts.
- Good understanding of device physics relevant to memory design.
- Working knowledge of scripting (Shell, TCL) and practical use of AI tools in workflows.
- Familiarity with EDA tools and memory views (Verilog, Liberty, schematics, LEF, GDS).
- Strong problem solving, debugging skills and analytical reasoning.
