Staff Memory Design Engineer

Job Title

Staff Memory Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and optimize DRAM memory arrays, peripheral logic, and analog circuits across schematic, layout, and verification. Lead layout activities (floor-planning, placement, routing) and perform circuit-level verification including functional, timing, power, and reliability analysis.

Work with CAD, EDA, and software teams to integrate AI-driven flows and automation into simulation, verification, and sign-off environments and evolve semicustom memory design methodology.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical experience: 4–8 years in memory design (as specified in the posting).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design, verification, layout oversight, and integration of advanced design flows:

• Contribute to design, layout, and optimization of DRAM memory arrays, peripheral logic, and analog circuits.
• Leverage AI-based tools and automation to accelerate schematic optimization, design-space exploration, parasitic analysis, sensitivity studies, and debug across simulation and silicon learning loops.
• Define and advance semicustom methodology for memory design and drive methodology improvements for future memory generations.
• Collaborate with CAD, EDA, and software teams to integrate AI-driven flows into simulation, verification, and sign-off environments.
• Oversee and manage layout tasks including floor-planning, placement, and routing.
• Perform circuit-level verification: functional, timing, power, and reliability analysis using industry-standard and Micron-specific simulators and tools.
• Contribute to cross-group communication and standardization efforts.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience, plus preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: Strong fundamentals in CMOS circuit design, device physics, and memory operation.
• Must-have: Experience with SPICE-based simulation and parasitic extraction.
• Must-have: Experience working with CAD/EDA flows and verification tools.
• Nice-to-have: Domain knowledge in DRAM design (DDR5, LPDDR5, HBM) or NAND memory design.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to or interest in AI/ML-assisted design flows, agentic AI, or advanced automation in circuit design and verification.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with SoC/ASIC semicustom flow.
• Nice-to-have: Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Education Requirements

Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering is specified. The posting indicates 4–8 years of experience in memory design.
