Memory Circuit Design Engineer - MN Rochester

Job Title

Senior Memory Circuit Design Engineer — Rochester, MN

Role Summary

Join the Central Engineering Group to design and deliver memory compilers and custom memory macros for advanced process nodes. The role covers circuit-level design, transistor- and gate-level simulation, physical layout integration, characterization, and silicon correlation.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 5+ years of related industry experience.

Responsibilities

The engineer will take memory designs from architecture through silicon verification and support production-readiness.

• Analyze memory architectures and evaluate trade-offs.
• Design memory and circuit blocks at gate or transistor level (SRAM, register files, ROM, multi-port memories).
• Perform transistor-level simulations and circuit analysis.
• Extract layouts and run post-layout simulation and verification.
• Floorplan and integrate leafcell layouts to build physical macros.
• Integrate and run characterization flows to extract timing and power.
• Develop automation scripts for simulation, characterization, and verification.
• Specify and verify behavioral and physical memory models; document specifications and timing diagrams.
• Define silicon test plans and correlate silicon results to simulations; assist with silicon debug.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, plus a few desirable qualifications.

• Proven experience developing memory compilers or custom digital memory circuits (SRAM, register-files, multi-port, ROM).
• Strong understanding of transistor-level circuit behavior and device physics.
• Experience with signal integrity, EM/IR, and reliability analysis.
• Familiarity with memory behavioral and physical modeling and DFT/chip-level integration.
• Proficient with transistor-level simulators and automation scripting; tools-savvy for characterization flows.
• Good communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills; able to manage multiple tasks independently.
• Nice-to-have: hands-on silicon test setup experience and silicon debug skills.

Education Requirements

Requires a BS in Electrical Engineering.
