Senior DRAM Systems Architecture

Job Title

Senior DRAM Systems Architecture

Role Summary

Provide systems-level architecture leadership for next-generation memory solutions, defining architectures, analytical models, and reliability strategies across the memory stack. The role reports to the Memory Systems Architecture team and collaborates with DRAM, packaging, module, controller, platform, and system software engineering teams.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Requires 8+ years of experience in memory systems, semiconductor or computer architecture, or related technical areas.

Responsibilities

Lead architecture definition, quantitative evaluation, and cross-functional technical influence for DRAM-based and emerging memory products.

• Define architectures for DDR, LPDDR, HBM, CXL-attached memory, and emerging memory technologies.
• Develop analytical and simulation-based models to evaluate performance, reliability, power, thermal, and cost tradeoffs.
• Drive architecture requirements across DRAM, packaging, modules, controllers, platforms, and system software.
• Lead technical studies, roadmap development, and architecture recommendations supported by quantitative analysis.
• Influence cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and contribute to patents, publications, and standards activities.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution.

• 8+ years of experience in memory systems, semiconductor architecture, computer architecture, or related technical areas.
• Strong knowledge of DRAM architecture and memory-system behavior in high-performance computing platforms.
• Proven ability to develop architecture recommendations based on quantitative analysis and engineering tradeoffs.
• Experience using AI-powered tools and methodologies (e.g., LLMs, agentic AI, generative AI or AI-enabled simulation environments).

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with memory-system simulation or modeling tools such as Ramulator, DRAMsim3, gem5, or equivalent.
• Experience with DDR, LPDDR, HBM, CXL memory, MRDIMM/RDIMM, or emerging memory technologies.
• Background in queueing/stochastic/performance/reliability modeling or mathematical optimization.
• Experience with RAS architecture, ECC, CRC, EDC, metadata, on-die ECC, rank-level or link protection.
• Familiarity with high-speed signaling, SI, clock distribution, packaging, module, PMIC, power, thermal systems, or standards participation (e.g., JEDEC).

Education Requirements

Master's degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
