Memory Design Engineer
$105,650 - $200,340 USD yearly
Originally posted 5 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role focuses on developing embedded memory technology collaterals, bitcells, array architectures, and peripheral circuits within Intel's Advanced Design (AD) team. The position supports pathfinding, design-technology co-optimization (DTCO), and PDK enablement on advanced CMOS process technologies.
What you'll do
- Define, develop, and optimize advanced memory bitcells, array architectures, and peripheral circuits.
- Lead memory pathfinding and optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) through design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) and product design enablement.
- Develop and validate memory libraries for PDK enablement across Intel's advanced process technologies.
- Design memory arrays and IP, develop innovative memory circuits, and execute and validate test chips.
What you'll need
- BA degree with 3 years of experience, Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field with 2+ years of experience, or a PhD.
- Experience in custom circuit design, simulation, layout design, and verification.
- Hands-on experience with relevant industry EDA tools and flows for digital and/or analog design and verification, such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys StarRC, and Synopsys HSPICE.
Nice to have
- Experience in memory bitcell and circuit design.
- Experience with advanced CMOS process technologies and device physics.
- Experience evaluating and balancing power, performance, and area trade-offs.
- Experience designing, characterizing, and verifying custom memory circuits, such as SRAM, register files, and ROM.
- Experience optimizing the physical design of custom circuits.
Skills: bitcells, SRAM, Virtuoso, HSPICE, memory design
