Senior Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Design Engineer

Role Summary

Senior Design Engineer in the NVE Design Engineering Core group responsible for analog and mixed-signal circuit design for NAND memory products. Work focuses on designing, simulating, validating, and optimizing core and mixed-signal blocks to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting specifies at least 2+ years of NAND design-relevant experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design, verification, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver NAND circuit blocks.

• Design, simulate, optimize, and floor-plan NAND analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks.
• Evaluate design feasibility and analyze circuit functionality across use cases.
• Implement analog/mixed-signal circuits to meet performance and reliability targets.
• Validate block- and chip-level performance using industry-standard simulation tools.
• Collaborate with teams to analyze and reduce NAND power consumption and improve manufacturability.
• Develop and maintain Python-based AI utilities that integrate with EDA tools to accelerate workflows.
• Generate and review user/build documentation and test collateral.
• Coordinate with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing for cost, reliability, and time-to-market tradeoffs.

Requirements

Required technical skills and attributes; preferred items listed separately.

Must-have:

• Proficiency in analog/mixed-signal circuit design (charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, bandgaps).
• Solid fundamentals in semiconductor and device physics and analog/mixed-signal design; familiarity with reliability issues (CHC, NBTI, stress, snapback) and EM/IR analysis.
• Strong circuit debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in circuit verification and optimization, layout planning, parasitic extraction, and guiding layout implementation.
• Practical experience employing AI tools to assist development workflows.
• Self-motivated with strong verbal and written English communication and teamwork skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with analog and digital simulators such as HSPICE, Fast SPICE, or Verilog.
• Familiarity with Cadence design and LVS/DRC tools.
• Experience with scripting languages and Linux/UNIX.

Education Requirements

BS in Electrical Engineering required. MS or PhD in a related field preferred or equivalent practical experience accepted. The posting also specifies 2+ years of NAND design-relevant experience.
