SRAM Circuit Design Engineer

About the role

The role of SRAM Circuit Designer within the Digital Custom Group involves designing and implementing custom digital circuits for SRAM. You will work closely with a talented logic and architecture team to define specifications and optimize designs for power, timing, area, and yield.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM design.
• Work with the logic and architecture team to formulate design specifications.
• Define architecture and topologies optimizing for power, timing, area, and yield.
• Conduct schematic capture, simulations, analysis, and margin verifications.
• Perform functional equivalency and DFT modeling.
• Collaborate with the layout team to create optimal GDS.
• Verify that extracted GDS meets design specifications.
• Conduct backend verification, including IR and EM analysis.
• Write RTL, validate use-cases, and verify against design schematics.
• Support post-silicon efforts to enable productization.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
• A minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience within a SoC design cycle.
• Knowledge of Cache design and memory hierarchy.
• Working knowledge of RTL modeling.
• Deep understanding of industry-standard design tools.
• Deep understanding of nanometer device physics and leakage mechanisms.
• Ability to devise experiments and analyze data for silicon debug.
• Familiarity with Machine Learning algorithms and scripting is a plus.
