Staff Engineer, HIG HBM Layout

Job Title

Staff Engineer, HIG HBM Layout

Role Summary

Senior layout engineer on Micron's HBM team responsible for creating and delivering block-level and full-chip custom/analog/mixed-signal layouts for High Bandwidth Memory used in AI and HPC applications. The role collaborates with global design and verification teams and supports multiple projects and tape-outs.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 8 to 15 years of experience in analog/custom IC layout design.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development, verification, delivery, and coordination of custom layout projects.

• Design and develop critical analog, mixed-signal and custom digital blocks and support full-chip integration.
• Perform physical verification (LVS/DRC/Antenna), quality checks and documentation for layouts.
• Deliver block-level layouts on schedule with required quality and manufacturability considerations.
• Plan, estimate area/time, schedule and execute multiple layout projects; drive to project milestones.
• Guide and review work of junior layout engineers and provide technical mentorship.
• Coordinate and communicate effectively with global engineering teams to ensure successful layout integration.
• Support multiple tape-outs and handle project-management activities related to layout delivery.

Requirements

Key technical skills and experience required and desirable for success in this role.

Must-have:

• Proven hands-on experience in analog/custom layout design in advanced CMOS processes (planar, FinFET).
• Proficiency with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre DRC/LVS.
• Experience creating layouts for critical analog blocks (e.g., temperature sensor, PLL, ADC, DAC, LDO, bandgap, reference generators, charge pumps, current mirrors, comparators, differential amplifiers).
• Strong understanding of analog layout fundamentals (matching, electromigration, latch-up, coupling, crosstalk, IR-drop, parasitics) and how layout affects circuit performance (speed, capacitance, power, area).
• Ability to interpret design constraints, implement high-quality layouts, and perform physical verification of custom layouts.
• Experience managing multiple layout projects and performing quality checks throughout layout development.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Multiple tape-out support experience.

Education Requirements

BE or MTech in Electronic or VLSI Engineering.
