Staff Design and Verification Engineer, Pathfinding

Job Title

Staff Design and Verification Engineer, Pathfinding

Role Summary

As a Design and Verification Engineer on Micron’s Pathfinding Design Team, you will verify and develop next-generation memory technologies across the full design path — from memory array to interface — including DRAM and emerging memories. The role covers full-chip functional verification, array architecture analysis, mixed-signal circuit development, and floorplanning.

Work includes verification plan development, testbench and assertion creation, circuit simulation, co-simulation, and collaboration with digital and analog design teams to enable new memory concepts.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 4+ years of verification engineering experience in digital, analog, or mixed-signal verification.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities for this role include:

• Perform chip‑wide functional verification for memory development projects.
• Develop verification plans from composition specifications.
• Build SystemVerilog testbenches and apply assertions to achieve functional coverage.
• Debug testcases with digital design teams and ensure functional accuracy.
• Conduct circuit simulation, co‑simulation, and real‑number modeling.
• Support array architecture definition, mixed‑signal circuit development, and floorplanning.
• Contribute to novel concept development, circuit optimization, and system‑level tradeoffs.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 4+ years of verification engineering experience in digital, analog, or mixed‑signal verification.
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and verification methodologies (testbenches, assertions, coverage).
• Experience with FastSpice, co‑simulation, and real‑number modeling.
• Experience in custom (schematic‑based) design flows and RTL verification.
• Knowledge of semiconductor physics, electronic circuits, and circuit‑level verification using SPICE.
• Familiarity with UNIX and Cadence simulation, schematic entry, and extraction tools.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and independent decision‑making skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with design‑for‑test (DFT) methodologies for memory products.
• Exposure to static timing analysis (STA) or timing‑accurate Verilog.
• Programming skills and experience applying AI to verification/design workflows.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
