New College Grad - Design Engineer - Pathfinding Design
Role Summary
The Design Engineer will design and analyze digital and analog circuits for advanced memory products, supporting silicon-to-systems development from design through tape-out. The role works within a design team and collaborates with cross-functional groups including Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly and Marketing to ensure manufacturability and performance.
Experience Level
Entry-level (new college graduate)
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on circuit design, layout oversight, modeling, verification, and cross-team collaboration to deliver manufacturable memory products.
- Design and optimize digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits for memory products.
- Perform parasitic modeling, design validation, reticle experiments, and support tape-out revisions.
- Oversee layout tasks including floor-planning, placement, and routing.
- Conduct verification using modeling and industry-standard simulators.
- Collaborate with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to ensure manufacturability and product readiness.
- Engage with Standards, CAD, modeling, and verification groups to improve design quality and standardization.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and capabilities; preferred items listed separately.
- Exposure to modeling and simulation of ICs using SPICE and Verilog.
- Familiarity with layout flow, floor-planning, placement, and routing processes.
- Experience or coursework in parasitic extraction, design validation, and supporting tape-outs.
- Experience with verification workflows and industry-standard simulation tools.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate design constraints and manufacturing considerations.
- Preferred: internship experience; proficiency with UNIX and Cadence design environment (simulation, schematic entry, SPF extraction).
Education Requirements
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (required). Analog or mixed-signal coursework is specified. Preferred qualification notes PhD completion within six months. The posting also highlights exposure to IC modeling and simulation (SPICE and Verilog) in the context of these degree requirements.
