Design/Senior Design Engineer – NAND datapath (NVE Engineering)

Job Title

Design/Senior Design Engineer – NAND datapath (NVE Engineering)

Role Summary

The Design Engineer will work in the NVE Design Engineering Datapath group to design, optimize, and validate NAND Flash datapath logic and high-speed interfaces at block and sub-system level, contributing to full-chip integration.

The role involves circuit architecture, transistor-level implementation, timing and signal-integrity analysis, power optimization, and collaboration with cross-functional teams for manufacturable solutions.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Specific years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design, verification, and integration of high-speed datapath and interface circuits.

• 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 that balance performance, power, and area.
• Perform functional, timing, and signal-integrity verification using advanced simulation methodologies, including PVT and corner analysis.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams on floorplan integration, manufacturability, and alignment with product specifications.
• Develop and apply automation (scripting, AI-assisted methods) and support silicon validation, debug, and documentation.

Requirements

Required technical skills and experience (must-haves) and selective preferred skills (nice-to-have) are listed below.

• Must-have: Strong knowledge of high-speed digital, analog, and mixed-signal CMOS circuit design.
• Must-have: 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 (e.g., SPICE, mixed-signal tools, RTL/Verilog-based flows).
• Must-have: Strong problem-solving and communication skills; proven ability to work effectively in dynamic, multi-functional environments.
• Nice-to-have: Experience in NAND Flash or other non-volatile memory technologies.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with high-speed interfaces (DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, SerDes).
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with design automation and scripting (e.g., Python) or AI-assisted design approaches.
• Nice-to-have: Understanding of layout constraints, physical design flows, and ESD considerations.

Education Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field (as listed in the minimum qualifications).
