Full ownership of custom SRAM and Register File designs from schematic capture to model generation.
Originally posted November 13, 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a CPU SRAM Design Engineer, you will design, improve, and analyze digital circuits for memories. The role involves full ownership of custom SRAM and Register File designs from schematic capture to analysis and model generation.
What you'll do
- Develop custom digital circuits for high-speed and low-power SRAM designs, including schematic capture.
- Plan and supervise layout, performing functional verification along with simulation and margin verification.
- Execute timing characterization and analysis steps required to generate deliverable collateral models.
- Collaborate with the CAD team on model generation and interface with the Physical Design team to resolve memory PPA challenges.
- Contribute to modeling, DFT, and analysis flow development based on project needs.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant engineering experience (or Master's degree with 1+ year, or PhD).
- Experience designing SRAM circuits.
- Hands-on experience with industry standard custom design tools and flows.
- Experience with circuit simulation and monte carlo analysis.
- Experience with static timing analysis.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 3 years of practical experience.
- Strong knowledge of SRAM and Register File techniques with advanced custom circuit implementations.
- Familiarity with variation-aware simulation in FinFet and Nanosheet technology nodes.
- Experience with custom memory layout designs and all memory analysis steps (design entry, functional verification, layout guidance, simulation, timing, power, and electrical characterization).
- Proficiency with tools including NanoTime, Ansys EMIR analysis, ESP-CV, and Liberate power analysis.
- Experience with memory logical models (Verilog), functional verification, BIST, and other DFT features.
