Design Engineer

About the Role

The Design Engineer - DRAM Technology and Products at Micron Technology will focus on performing semiconductor design engineering assignments. This includes engineering and designing chip layout circuits, circuit checking, documenting specifications, and modifying and evaluating semiconductor devices and components. This role is typically responsible for projects, or portions of projects, to design, fabricate, optimize, and validate memory circuit solutions while supporting advanced semiconductor technology development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, layout, and optimize memory circuits with a focus on performance, power, area, and manufacturability.
• Perform circuit simulation and analysis using industry-standard tools such as SPICE and Verilog to validate circuit functionality.
• Develop and support schematic blocks including memory arrays, control logic, address decoders, datapaths, and internal test circuitry.
• Evaluate design architecture tradeoffs and incorporate layout parasitics to ensure robust circuit operation and silicon success.
• Drive innovation through test chip development, silicon validation, and AI-enabled improvements to design methodologies and workflows.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Basic understanding of memory array architectures, circuits, and operation.
• Strong understanding of circuit simulation setup, analysis, and debug techniques.
• Familiarity with semiconductor device fundamentals and integrated circuit design principles.
• Experience with SPICE, Verilog, or similar circuit design and simulation tools.
• Understanding of memory design blocks including memory arrays, address decoding, datapaths, and control logic.
• Knowledge of layout parasitic extraction and integration into simulation environments.
• Experience with silicon validation, test chip development, or Design for Manufacturability (DFM) methodologies.
• Demonstrated curiosity and ability to apply innovative or AI-enabled approaches to improve engineering processes and design efficiency.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or higher, or equivalent experience.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey technical concepts to peers and management.
