Job Title

Member of Technical Staff, Memory Design

Role Summary

Senior memory-design engineer responsible for DRAM memory array, peripheral logic, and analog circuit design. Lead schematic and layout optimization, verification, and methodology development while integrating AI-driven tools and automation into design and sign-off flows.

Experience Level

Senior — requires significant senior-level experience (minimum guidance: 15+ years in VLSI design as specified in the posting).

Responsibilities

Primary duties include:

• Design, layout, and optimization of DRAM memory arrays, peripheral logic, and analog circuits.
• Leverage AI-based tools, agentic workflows, and automation to accelerate schematic optimization, design-space exploration, parasitic analysis, and corner coverage.
• Improve debug efficiency across simulation and silicon learning loops and integrate AI-driven flows into simulation, verification, and sign-off environments in collaboration with CAD/EDA/software teams.
• Define and implement semicustom memory-design methodologies and drive innovation for future memory generations.
• Oversee layout activities including floor-planning, placement, and routing.
• Perform circuit-level verification: functional, timing, power, and reliability analysis using industry-standard and proprietary tools.
• Coordinate cross-group communication to support standardization and project objectives.

Requirements

Core technical and professional requirements.

• Must have strong fundamentals in CMOS circuit design, device physics, and memory operation.
• Proven technical leadership and a record of innovation in prior roles.
• Extensive hands-on experience with layout, floor-planning, placement, routing, and circuit-level verification tools and flows.
• Experience collaborating with CAD, EDA, and software teams to integrate automated and AI-assisted flows.
• Preferred: domain knowledge in DRAM (DDR5, LPDDR5, HBM) and/or NAND memory design.
• Preferred: exposure to or strong interest in AI/ML-assisted design flows, agentic AI, and advanced automation.
• Preferred: experience with SoC/ASIC semicustom flows; patents or publications are a plus.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Education Requirements

Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering is specified in the posting. The posting pairs this degree requirement with 15+ years of VLSI design experience.
