DRAM Power Engineer

Job Title

DRAM Power Engineer

Role Summary

Analyze DRAM power behavior and develop models, methodologies, and tools to guide architecture and product decisions that balance power, performance, and energy efficiency for next-generation memory products. The role partners with Design, Product Engineering, and System Architecture teams and supports power targets throughout the product development lifecycle.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting specifies 3+ years of relevant industry experience (or advanced degree as described in Education Requirements).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include analysis, modeling, and collaboration to improve DRAM power efficiency.

• Perform AI-assisted DRAM power analysis, including IDD characterization, workload-based modeling, and power breakdown analysis.
• Develop and maintain power models, methodologies, and tools to evaluate DRAM architectures and power-performance tradeoffs.
• Translate system and customer power requirements into recommendations that drive architectural and product decisions.
• Define and support DRAM power targets throughout product development.
• Partner with Design, Product Engineering, and System Architecture teams to identify and implement power improvements.

Requirements

Must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications.

• Must-have: 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Must-have: Experience in at least two of the following areas: DRAM architecture, memory subsystems, semiconductor fundamentals, power analysis, modeling, simulation, architecture evaluation, or technical data analysis.
• Must-have: Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex technical challenges and develop solutions.
• Must-have: Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and collaborate effectively across engineering teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with DRAM power analysis (IDD metrics, power characterization), workload-based power modeling, memory controller behavior, system-level power analysis, automation/tool development, architectural evaluation methodologies, or competitive benchmarking to influence product decisions.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field plus 3+ years of relevant industry experience; alternatively, a Master's degree or PhD in a related field. Related technical fields include computer engineering, computer science, physics, or similar disciplines.
