3D Stacked DRAM Design Engineer
$150,000 - $260,000 USD yearly
Focus on 3D-stacked DRAM logic dies and DRAM-on-Logic architecture co-design.
Originally posted 16 July 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role drives the co-design of 3D-stacked DRAM logic dies and DRAM-on-Logic solutions in collaboration with U.S.-based customers. You will design circuits for 3D-stacked DRAM, define product architectures, and implement DRAM DFT to meet customer specifications.
What you'll do
- Co-design 3D-stacked DRAM logic dies and DRAM-on-Logic solutions with U.S.-based customers.
- Design circuits for 3D-stacked DRAM that meet internal and external specifications, including DRAM DFT implementation.
- Review specifications and define architecture for 3D-stacked DRAM products.
- Improve design quality and yield throughout the 3D-stacked DRAM development phase.
- Enhance performance and ensure stable operation to meet customer requirements during product development.
- Establish technical engagement with U.S.-based customers to address immediate 3D-stacked DRAM design challenges.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 4+ years of relevant experience.
- Experience with DRAM development and DRAM circuit design using custom design methodology (Virtuoso or similar tools, SPICE simulator).
- Experience reviewing DRAM specifications and architecture.
- Experience in full custom + digital co-design and PDN analysis.
- Experience in full custom-based logic foundry design.
- Experience evaluating compliance with DRAM specifications through design analysis at wafer level test, package level test, or system level test.
- Expertise in Python and circuit simulators such as HSPICE, PrimeSim, or Spectre.
