Design / Senior Design Engineer — NAND Datapath (NVE Engineering)

Job Title

Design / Senior Design Engineer — NAND Datapath (NVE Engineering)

Role Summary

Work in the Non-Volatile NAND Design Engineering team to design, optimize, and validate datapath logic and high-speed interfaces for NAND Flash memory products. The role focuses on block- and subsystem-level circuit architectures, timing closure, signal integrity, and power optimization to support full-chip integration and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting indicates a senior design role; years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include:

• Design and optimize high-speed datapath and interface circuits to meet timing and performance targets at block and sub-system level.
• Translate system and interface requirements into circuit architectures and transistor-level implementations balancing performance, power, and area.
• Perform functional, timing, and signal-integrity verification using advanced simulation methodologies including PVT and corner analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on floorplan integration, manufacturability, and alignment with product specifications.
• Develop and apply automation solutions (scripting, AI-assisted methods), and support silicon validation, debug, and documentation.

Requirements

Key required and preferred skills. Education expectations are listed separately under Education Requirements.

• Must have: Strong knowledge of high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal CMOS circuit design; solid understanding of timing, signal integrity, noise, variability, and deep-submicron device effects.
• Must have: Hands-on experience with industry-standard simulation tools and flows (examples: SPICE, mixed-signal simulators, RTL/Verilog-based flows).
• Must have: Strong problem-solving ability and effective communication skills; proven ability to work in dynamic, cross-functional teams.
• Nice to have: Experience in NAND Flash or other non-volatile memory technologies and with high-speed interfaces (DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, SerDes).
• Nice to have: Familiarity with design automation, scripting (e.g., Python), AI-assisted design approaches, layout constraints, physical design flows, and ESD considerations.

Education Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
