Engineer / Senior Engineer / Principal — NAND CMOS DTCO
Micron TechnologyJob Title
Engineer / Senior Engineer / Principal — NAND CMOS DTCO
Role Summary
Work on Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) for NAND CMOS process and device integration. Influence PPAC (performance, power, area, cost) targets, translate them into design rules and device/test monitors, and enable models used by design teams.
Position is based in San Jose, CA; full-time role within Micron's process and device engineering organization focused on closing PPAC gaps and model enablement.
Experience Level
Senior — principal-level engineering role. Specific years of experience not stated.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Define and converge PPAC targets linked to process capability and device limits.
- Translate targets into design rules (including interconnect) and device/test monitors.
- Drive trade-offs across process/device capability and IC/interconnect design to optimize performance, area, RC, and reliability.
- Ensure alignment from targets → design rules → models → design usage.
- Own model enablement and quality assurance; keep models consistent with silicon learning.
- Support pathfinding and containment to close PPAC gaps early in development.
Requirements
Must-have skills and responsibilities inferred from the posting:
- Experience in DTCO for NAND/CMOS technologies and translating process/device targets into design rules and monitors.
- Proven ability to drive cross-functional trade-offs between process, device, and IC/interconnect design.
- Experience with device modeling, model enablement, and keeping models aligned with silicon data.
- Ability to define PPAC targets and support early pathfinding to close gaps.
Nice-to-have: semiconductor manufacturing experience, interconnect RC and reliability analysis.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
