Senior Package Design Engineer
Micron Technology · Boise, ID · 2 wk ago
Full-time
About the role
We're looking for a Senior Package Design Engineer who is passionate about advanced semiconductor packaging and ready to lead at the intersection of silicon, system, and scale. This is a high-impact, highly visible role where you'll work across the full product lifecycle — from early-stage co-design with silicon teams all the way to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM). If you thrive where precision meets innovation, where your decisions shape products reaching millions of users worldwide, and where your expertise directly influences how the AI era unfolds — this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Lead Co-Design from Silicon to System
- Partner with silicon design, Business Units, customers, and package architecture teams to define new product concepts from the earliest stages of chip development
- Optimize die floorplans, interconnection schemes, and package architectures — from concept to HVM
- Drive trade-off studies and architecture decisions for advanced DRAM products targeting AI/Data Center, Mobile, Automotive, and Edge Computing applications
- Own Package Layout and Architecture
- Lead floorplanning, high-density routing, placement, and package layout for advanced memory packages
- Define and optimize substrate stack-ups, wire bond and flip chip interconnect schemes, and BEOL/RDL flows
- Create wire bond diagrams, interposer drawings, and complete manufacturing documentation packages
- Drive Electrical and Physical Design Quality
- Partner with Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) teams to incorporate simulation results into design decisions
- Conduct DFM reviews and feasibility studies; interpret parasitic modeling and validation data
- Drive material selection decisions based on simulation, reliability, and manufacturability data
- Collaborate Globally to Scale and Sustain
- Partner with OSAT assembly partners, substrate suppliers, and Technology Development teams to define design rules and advance routing methodologies for next-gen solutions
- Lead DFMEA reviews and define assembly DOEs to ensure HVM readiness
- Support continuous improvement: global design alignment, IP development, competitive analysis, and package design roadmaps
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field + 5 years of semiconductor package design experience OR Master's degree in the above fields + 3 years of semiconductor package design experience
- Hands-on proficiency with advanced package EDA tools such as Cadence Allegro Package Designer+, Cadence Integrity 3D-IC, or Siemens/Mentor Xpedition
- Experience with flip chip, wire bond interconnects, BEOL/RDL flows, substrate stack-ups, and high-density routing
- Experience partnering with SI/PI simulation teams to drive package architecture and design optimization
- Experience collaborating with OSAT partners or assembly engineering organizations to deliver designs through HVM
Preferred Qualifications
- 7+ years of proven experience with advanced DRAM technologies — LPDDR, HBM, or GDDR
- Experience with TSV stacking, micro-bump layout, and Chip-Package Interaction (CPI) analysis
- Familiarity with 2.5D/3D-IC, Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP), and System-in-Package (SiP)
- Experience with Assembly DOE definition, DFMEA reviews, and process/material development in HVM
- Proficiency with AutoCAD / Autodesk Mechanical for package and interposer drawings
- Experience leading co-design engagements and silicon floorplan optimization
- Experience and/or interest in developing Agentic AI workflows into current or future processes
Benefits
- A choice of medical, dental, and vision plans enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget
- Benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave
- A robust paid time-off program and paid holidays
