Senior | Principal DRAM Design Engineer - TPG

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.

As a DRAM Design Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for crafting and analyzing digital and analog circuits used in the development of memory products! We are engaged in developing groundbreaking silicon-to-systems solutions – right from technology development and advanced memory designs to product development, systems design and validation resulting in world class memory solutions!


You will be working in a Design Technology Co-Optimization group. Your work will entail close collaboration with product design teams, pathfinding design teams and technology teams, with the goal of guiding design and technology choices for the next DRAM nodes.

 

In this position, you will work within an R&D environment, enabling future ground breaking memory products. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: 

 

Using information from existing DRAM designs identify key performance limiting circuits and build benchmarking circuits (schematic and/or layout) to be used for power, performance area (PPA) evaluations 

Performing simulations on benchmarking circuits using various CMOS models, to understand behavior concerning PPA metrics. 

Propose circuit-based solutions and/or technology-based solutions as appropriate, to ensure PPA goals are met 

Communication and collaboration with cross-functional teams are required - technology development, product design, CAD, and modeling teams are partners in Design-Technology-Co-Optimization 

Contributing innovation that matters to future memory generations within a dynamic work environment 

 

(Disclaimer): While you may not exhibit all of the characteristics/skills listed below 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 a team of premier 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. The seniority level offered will be based on a combination of experience and education. 

 

How To Qualify: 

Experience in DRAM, high-speed interfaces, analog and mixed-signal circuit designs 

Extensive knowledge of schematic entry and simulation using Finesim and/or Hspice 

Strong understanding of DRAM array core architectures, circuits, & functions 

Extensive knowledge of CMOS circuit design and device physics 

 

What Sets You Apart: 

Knowledge of high-speed I/O design such as DLL / PLL / FFE / CTLE / DFE, output drivers, ODT, Duty cycle correction (DCC), Training/calibration 

Deep understanding of PPA (performance, power, and area) 

Good DFT/DFM understanding with knowledge of PROBE and Backend test flows  

Strong scripting and automation skills using Tcl/Perl/python  

Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills 

A self-motivated, hard-working team player who enjoys working with diverse abilities and backgrounds 

Good communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to other design peers in verbal and written form 

Having an innovative approach that is open to improving upon any of our processes or products.
