About the role
You will directly influence architecture, product strategy, and competitive positioning within the DRAM System team.
What you'll do
- Analyze DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR, and emerging memory technologies across electrical, thermal, power, and performance dimensions.
- Identify performance gaps and evaluate tradeoffs in cost, latency, bandwidth, and efficiency.
- Partner with architecture and product teams to translate analysis into actionable design guidance.
- Drive multi-functional alignment with firmware, validation, hardware, and business partners.
- Deliver clear technical assessments and recommendations to guide future memory strategy.
- Use Artificial Intelligence tools to build models to find design gaps and summarize collected data for distribution and analysis.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- Strong understanding of DDR memory architecture including timing, signaling, and system behavior.
- Experience analyzing memory systems at device and system levels.
- Knowledge of high-speed I/O, electrical margins, and memory power and thermal characteristics.
- Proven ability to evaluate tradeoffs and communicate data-driven recommendations.
Nice to have
- Experience with DDR4/5, LPDDR5/5X/5T, or advanced DRAM technologies.
- Background in memory controller architecture, firmware, or training algorithms.
- Familiarity with DRAM physical layout, packaging, and topology impacts.
- Experience in benchmarking, competitive analysis, or product architecture strategy.
- Exposure to memory modeling, workload analysis, or system-level simulation.
