Design Engineer - Memory Design
ArmJob Title
Design Engineer - Memory Design
Role Summary
Join Arm's Physical IP Division to develop and validate SRAM and register-file memory IP instances for advanced process nodes used across SoCs. The role focuses on memory design, characterization, verification and release for high-speed, low-power, high-density applications.
Experience Level
Mid-level — 2–5 years of relevant experience in memory design or characterization.
Responsibilities
Primary duties include designing, validating, and preparing memory IP instances for production.
- Design, margining, characterization, verification and release of memory instances (SRAM, register files, single-/dual-port memories).
- Prepare and validate multiple design views: Verilog, Liberty, schematics, LEF and GDS.
- Execute characterization and margining flows and interpret results for performance, power and yield trade-offs.
- Develop and maintain automation and scripting to support verification and characterization flows.
- Collaborate with IP verification, process and EDA tool teams to diagnose and resolve issues.
- Produce release documentation and deliverables for memory IP instances.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and professional traits.
- Strong understanding of SRAM design, digital circuit fundamentals and SoC concepts.
- Good understanding of device physics relevant to memory behavior.
- Proficiency with scripting (Shell, TCL) and experience applying automation; familiarity with using AI tools in flows.
- Experience with EDA tools and memory characterization/verification flows.
- Good problem-solving, debugging and analytical skills; able to work independently and in a team.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
- Nice-to-have: understanding of computer architecture.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering.
