Sr Design Automation Engineer, Simulation

About the role

Micron Technology’s vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all, innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence. In this role you will join a brilliant team collaborating with global design and verification groups, supporting design verification flow development, optimization, and implementation, and working cross‑functionally to ensure optimal cost, quality, reliability, time‑to‑market, and customer satisfaction. As a CAD senior engineer specializing in analog and digital simulations, you will optimize and simulate complex circuits, develop industry‑first flows to boost productivity and reduce pre‑silicon failures, and contribute to state‑of‑the‑art products.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with memory design teams and solve their daily challenges and provide complete solutions for the future.
• Proactively identify problem areas for improvement, propose, and develop innovative solutions.
• Develop highly scalable, and clean software systems.
• Continuously evaluate and implement new tools and technologies to improve the current software flows.
• Work with EDA vendors to evaluate and integrate EDA tools in CAD flows.
• Lead agentic flow implementation using AI‑assisted and automated workflows, applying copilot‑based assistants, agentic AI flows, and rule‑aware automation to circuit simulation & verification.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers, fostering their professional growth and development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field with 5+ years industry experience.
• Experience in analog circuit simulation flows.
• Expert in circuit simulation debugging with required knowledge of leading‑edge circuit design and simulation methodologies.
• Hands‑on experience with one of the circuit simulators (Finesim/Primesim/XA/Spectre/VCS/Xcelium etc.).
• Hands‑on experience with Cadence custom IC Virtuoso platform, Virtuoso‑L, and Virtuoso‑XL, schematic capture, or Synopsys custom compiler or equivalent.

Skills

• Develop and deploy AI‑enabled methodologies for circuit simulation flows.
• Hands‑on with Python/Perl Object Oriented Programming.
• Good understanding of CMOS concepts and electronic fundamentals.
• Knowledge of Linux, LSF, shell scripting, TCL scripting, SKILL(Cadence) language.
• Knowledge of parasitic extraction tools like StarRC/Quantus (added advantage).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex circuit issues effectively.
• Proficiency in working effectively with global teams and stakeholders.
• Experience in EM/IR & STA (Static Timing Analysis) (added advantage).
• Experience in AI/ML (added advantage).
