DRAM Memory Design Engineer - Principal | MTS | SMTS
Originally posted 13 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves designing and optimizing DRAM products, focusing on memory arrays, control logic, datapaths, and I/O circuitry.
What you'll do
- Design and optimize digital and analog circuits for DRAM products, including memory arrays, control logic, datapaths, address decoding, and I/O circuitry.
- Lead circuit development, simulation, verification, and silicon validation to achieve performance, power, area, and quality targets.
- Drive floor-planning, layout optimization, parasitic analysis, and tape-out activities.
- Advance AI-assisted design, automation, and design-space exploration through collaboration.
- Provide technical leadership through innovation, multi-functional collaboration, and mentorship.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, plus MSEE with 10+ years, BSEE with 12+ years, or equivalent relevant semiconductor design experience; SMTS candidates typically have 15+ years of experience with demonstrated technical leadership.
- Extensive knowledge of CMOS circuit design, device physics, state machine logic, and design verification methodologies.
- Experience with Verilog modeling, simulation tools, and power delivery network (PDN) analysis.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl.
Nice to have
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience with DDR5, LPDDR5/LPDDR6, GDDR6/7, or HBM3/HBM4 memory technologies.
- Experience with FINESIM, HSPICE, or similar schematic entry and simulation tools.
- Experience leading complex circuit design projects and mentoring engineers.
- Exposure to AI/ML-assisted design flows, agentic AI, or advanced design automation frameworks.
