Staff HBM Design Architect

Job Title

Staff HBM Design Architect

Role Summary

Member of the HBM Architecture team designing and analyzing digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits for advanced HBM memory products. Work focuses on evaluating functionality, optimizing performance (timing, power, area), and performing architectural feasibility/pathfinding for next-generation HBM used in AI, ML, and HPC.

This role partners with architecture, design, and verification teams to ensure functional correctness and scalable, high-performance memory designs.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 3+ years of relevant engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include circuit- and chip-level design, analysis, and architectural evaluation for high‑bandwidth memory (HBM) products.

• Design and analyze digital and analog DRAM circuits: schematic entry, circuit simulation, optimization, and floorplanning.
• Evaluate full-chip or block-level functionality and develop solutions to ensure functional correctness.
• Analyze timing, power, area, and complexity trade-offs in high-speed DRAM and mixed‑signal designs.
• Perform architectural pathfinding and feasibility analysis for future HBM products.
• Contribute to design and optimization of memory, logic, and analog circuits with cross-team collaboration.

Requirements
