DRAM Product Engineer - Bristol, United Kingdom
Originally posted 27 July 2026 by the employer.
Work on AI accelerator chips that integrate high-current power delivery and PCIe Gen6 interconnect.
About the role
What you'll do
- Develop and execute test strategies for DRAM devices and their interconnects, covering functional, timing, signal integrity, and reliability failure modes.
- Diagnose complex DRAM issues across logical, architectural, and physical domains, including cell behavior, addressing, timing margins, and interface interactions.
- Build, modify, and maintain simulation models to study DRAM behavior, interfaces, and test scenarios at multiple abstraction levels.
- Use simulation tools to explore corner cases, stress conditions, and failure mechanisms prior to and alongside silicon testing.
- Analyze DRAM behavior with a deep understanding of circuit operation, including variability, noise, leakage, and process effects.
- Apply statistical methods to large test datasets to identify trends, characterize distributions, isolate root causes, and support yield and reliability conclusions.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Electronics and Electrical Engineering or related field.
- Strong background in DRAM architecture, operation, and interfaces.
- Solid understanding of DRAM failure modes, and associated test and characterisation methods.
- Solid understanding of advanced CMOS electronic circuit behavior and its impact on memory operation.
- Experience applying statistics to hardware test and characterization problems.
- Strong mathematical skills applied to modeling, analysis, and problem solving in test development.
- Ability to reason rigorously across abstraction levels, from physical circuits to logical test algorithms.
Nice to have
- Experience with memory test, silicon bring-up, and failure analysis.
- Exposure to SPICE or equivalent circuit-level simulation.
- Experience analyzing high-volume test data and yield trends.
- Familiarity with manufacturing or system-level memory test environments.
