DRAM Device & Cell Technology Engineer

Job Title

DRAM Device & Cell Technology Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and optimize DRAM cell and access device technologies to improve density, retention, reliability, and disturb immunity. Work on silicon experiments, electrical characterization, and array-level analysis while collaborating with circuit, fabrication, and reliability teams to validate next-generation DRAM architectures.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No explicit years-of-experience requirement stated.

Responsibilities

Own technical tasks from experiment design through data analysis and roadmap input; collaborate across functions to ensure scalable, robust solutions.

• Develop DRAM cell and access device technologies to improve density, retention, and disturb immunity.
• Design, build, and conduct silicon experiments; perform in-depth electrical characterization and data analysis.
• Analyze array-level behaviors and collaborate with circuit teams to optimize operation sequences.
• Integrate solutions with multi-functional teams to ensure scalability and robustness.
• Contribute to the technology roadmap and benchmark internal capabilities against industry standards.

Requirements

Key technical must-haves and preferred skills. Degrees are listed separately under Education Requirements.

• Must-have: Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics (MOSFETs, access devices, capacitors).
• Experience in electrical characterization, device testing, and data analysis.
• Familiarity with DRAM operation fundamentals (activation, sensing, disturb mechanisms).
• Skilled in scripting and data-analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, and JMP.
• Ability to design and execute silicon experiments and interpret test results.
• Nice-to-have: Hands-on experience with DRAM or NAND device development, TCAD simulation experience (Synopsys Sentaurus, Silvaco), semiconductor fabrication or advanced BEOL integration, and knowledge of reliability mechanisms and device variation analysis.
• Clear communication skills to present experimental results and drive cross-team alignment.

Education Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a related technical field.
