DMTS Design Engineer

Job Title

DMTS Design Engineer

Role Summary

Lead technical analysis of DRAM and emerging memory technologies to influence architecture, product strategy, and competitive positioning. Work within DRAM Engineering and the Technical Leadership Program to mentor engineers and align cross-functional teams (architecture, firmware, validation, hardware, business).

Experience Level

Senior-level technical leadership role (Distinguished Member of Technical Staff). No specific years required; expects demonstrated expertise in memory systems and leadership influence.

Responsibilities

Provide technical assessments and design guidance across memory product development.

• Analyze DDR4/DDR5, LPDDR, and emerging memory technologies across electrical, thermal, power, and performance dimensions.
• Identify performance gaps and evaluate tradeoffs in cost, latency, bandwidth, and efficiency.
• Translate analysis into actionable design guidance for architecture and product teams.
• Drive multi-functional alignment with firmware, validation, hardware, and business partners.
• Deliver clear technical assessments and recommendations to guide future memory strategy.
• Use AI tools to build models, surface design gaps, and summarize collected data for distribution and analysis.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Strong understanding of DDR memory architecture including timing, signaling, and system behavior.
• Experience analyzing memory systems at device and system levels.
• Knowledge of high-speed I/O, electrical margins, and memory power and thermal characteristics.
• Proven ability to evaluate tradeoffs and communicate data-driven recommendations to stakeholders.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with DDR4/5, LPDDR5/5X/5T or advanced DRAM technologies.
• Background in memory controller architecture, firmware, or training algorithms.
• Familiarity with DRAM physical layout, packaging, and topology impacts.
• Experience in benchmarking, competitive analysis, product architecture strategy, modeling, workload analysis, or system-level simulation.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
