Senior Member of Technical Staff / Member of Technical Staff, DRAM Design Engineer, Next-generation HBM Architecture

About the role

Join our team in Micron's High Bandwidth Memory Architecture organization, where we partner closely with customers to deliver memory solutions purpose-built for emerging AI systems and applications. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff or Member of Technical Staff, DRAM Design Engineer, you will drive the architecture and optimization of 3D-stacked, high-performance memories, optimizing DRAM designs for maximum performance, power, and area (PPA).

Responsibilities

• Identify and develop novel DRAM circuit architectures that anticipate next-generation AI workload requirements to unlock improvements in bandwidth and energy efficiency.
• Collaborate with peers to identify the highest-leverage DRAM circuit bottlenecks and define architectural hypotheses.
• Validate architectural hypotheses through schematic-level circuit design, SPICE simulation, and tradeoff analysis, establishing PPA feasibility.
• Partner with layout designers to conduct floorplanning studies.
• Collaboratively define and optimize design-for-test and design-for-yield implementation.
• Compose and maintain clear specifications and architecture documentation.

Requirements

• Strong mixed signal design experience, including experience with custom analog and synthesis flows.
• DRAM circuit design experience in one or more of the following focus areas: cell arrays, sense amplifiers, row/column decoders, periphery, IO, and/or power distribution.
• Engineering experience with SPICE-based tools (e.g., FineSim, HSPICE).
• Strong communication skills with an ability to influence others through deeply technical, data-driven analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with HBM or other novel stacked memory architectures.
• Experience in one or more scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl) and hardware description language (e.g., Verilog).
• Strong knowledge of semiconductor device physics.
• A Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of proven experience delivering DRAM-based memory designs.
