Principal Design Development - Technical Lead

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Our Opportunity Summary:

For more than 43 years, Micron Technology, Inc. has redefined innovation with the world’s most advanced memory and semiconductor technologies. We’re an international team of visionaries and scientists, developing groundbreaking technologies that are transforming how the world uses information to enrich life.

As the Design Development Technical Lead for HBM Design, you work multi-functionally across DRAM, logic/interface die, IP design and Foundry Interface organizations within the Heterogenous Integration Group (HIG) and be responsible for driving execution across all design activities. You will be responsible for delivering HBM product DBR on schedule across internal and external foundries. You will collaborate with Micron’s global groups such as PDT, Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Business to proactively align with future products.

In HBM, we innovate and integrate end-to-end groundbreaking front-end and backend processes with groundbreaking design, debugging various tests, and qualification techniques to develop the lowest power per bit solutions to improve customer experience in the field of ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). The success of a sophisticated product such as HBM relies vastly on vertical integration and the various engineering working in unison. To provide greater detail, our HBM technology pertains to stacking numbers of DRAM chips along with a logic chip within one package through an assembly technology called TSV (Through Silicon Via). This greatly increases the memory density in a package, while allowing very high-speed signal transmission. Furthermore, "high bandwidth"; is an outstanding memory design area where custom gate-level design and RTL style logic design are blended into the same product, and most of the DDR or LPDDR design is based on the gate-level design only. Lastly, verification and testing (validation) of HBM is the most challenging due to the total size of the design and complexity of the functions, and in addition to craft, many innovations are needed for verification and validation of the HBM product, thereby making it uniquely exciting.

*This position will be a hybrid role located in Dallas, TX, Boise, ID, or Folsom, CA

*The seniority level offered will be based on a combination of experience and education.

What’s Encouraged Daily:

Work with collaborators to plan requirements, interdependencies, manage change requests and drive/track required actions and follow ups to manage project schedules.

Helping identify program and technical risks and build mitigation plans, working in close collaboration with design, strategy, and architecture teams to ensure product excellence and timeliness.

Drive lessons learned workshops to ensure proliferation of knowledge and standard methodologies across the products as part of continuous improvement.

Regular meetings of the cross-functional team to track execution/progress, send out regular updates and be the voice of HBM design in forums like PDT.

Ensure HBM products are best-in-class for speed, power, cost, quality, and reliability by collaborating with HBM engineering teams.

Develop and refine business processes to improve execution.

Play active role in design contractor, IP vendor, external foundry & procurement engagements

How To Qualify:

10+ years of experience in a related field. Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.

Understanding of custom and digital design flows

Strong leadership skills and ability to guide large organizations to success while communicating effectively with the organization, peers, and executives.

Ability to drive product planning, roadmap definition & resource planning. Experience in project management methodologies

Familiarity with the full cycle of SoC development, from architectural spec development to frontend and backend design, verification, and post-silicon bring-up.

Experience working with IP providers and SoC and DRAM ecosystem partners ensuring smooth pre-silicon and post-silicon engagement.

Knowledge of DRAM operation, preferably with the HBM product family.

Knowledge of industry standards and compliance requirements (e.g., JEDEC, etc).

(Disclaimer): While you may not exhibit all of the characteristics/skills listed above today, we are highly interested in a teammate who is motivated to grow in technical breadth and depth. Suppose you are open to learning while being a valued member of an outstanding team of engineers. In that case, we are determined to help build upon your existing foundation, while rapidly growing your individual and collaborative skills in this exciting and outstanding opportunity.
