Principal Design Engineer, DRAM

Job Title

Principal Design Engineer, DRAM

Role Summary

Member of the Design DFT team responsible for building testability into advanced memory products. The role combines hands-on circuit design, architectural thinking, and methodology development to ensure products are testable, robust, and production-ready.

You will influence early design, define DFT requirements and testmodes, validate solutions via modeling and simulation, and collaborate across design, verification, and manufacturing.

Experience Level

Senior (Principal). Years of experience: not specified.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Define and implement DFT, testmode, and related design methodology requirements for current and future memory products.
• Design and evaluate new DFT circuits and architectural solutions to improve coverage, scalability, and robustness.
• Influence early design planning by shaping DFT architecture, testability strategies, and reusable design intent.
• Validate DFT solutions through modeling, simulation, and review of circuits, testmodes, and verification results.
• Collaborate with design, verification, product engineering, and manufacturing to meet coverage, cost, and quality goals.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Experience with digital or mixed-signal circuit design and simulation.
• Working knowledge of Design-for-Test concepts, testmodes, or scan-based methodologies.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.

Preferred / nice-to-have:

• Experience designing DFT circuits for complex SoC or memory products.
• Familiarity with DFT verification flows, automation, or industry-standard EDA tools.
• Experience applying or evaluating AI-assisted techniques in design or verification workflows.

Education Requirements

Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Preferred: Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
