Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 6+ years experience with a BS or 4+ years with an MS in relevant fields.

Responsibilities

The role is responsible for sustaining HBM designs, debugging silicon and system issues, and coordinating cross‑functional fixes.

• Support HBM product design updates, ECOs, and specification changes.
• Own end‑to‑end silicon, system, and customer debug; perform root‑cause analysis and drive resolutions.
• Collaborate with design engineering, product engineering, process integration, packaging, and system teams to align priorities and execute fixes.
• Identify and debug yield, reliability, and performance issues to improve product quality.
• Support customer bring‑up, qualification, and system‑level validation as required.
• Capture sustaining learnings to improve verification and debug methodologies.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Must-have: Strong understanding of DRAM/HBM architecture and high‑speed memory interfaces.
• Experience in digital and/or custom design and verification.
• Hands‑on silicon debug or post‑silicon validation experience.
• Proven ability to independently drive complex technical issues to closure.
• Proficiency using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code or similar) to improve design quality and debug efficiency.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with HBM/DDR/LPDDR or other high‑speed I/O systems.
• System‑level debug and silicon‑to‑system correlation experience.
• Timing and margin analysis, signal and power integrity knowledge.
• DFT, mBIST, and test‑mode debug experience.
• Programming/scripting for automation (Python preferred) and strong cross‑functional communication skills.

Education Requirements

BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 6+ years of relevant experience; or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 4+ years of relevant experience.
