New College Grad - Semiconductor Design Engineer
Design and optimize CMOS circuits for advanced DRAM and emerging memory technologies.
Originally posted 21 July 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves the design, simulation, optimization, and validation of digital and analog CMOS circuits for advanced DRAM and emerging memory technologies.
What you'll do
- Design, simulate, analyze, and optimize CMOS memory circuits and functional blocks, including memory arrays, control logic, datapaths, address decoding, and input/output interfaces.
- Support physical design activities such as floor planning, placement, routing optimization, layout verification, and manufacturability improvements.
- Perform circuit simulations and debugging using industry-standard tools (e.g., FINESIM, HSPICE, VERILOG).
- Collaborate with Product Engineering, Process Integration, Test, Assembly, CAD, Modeling, Verification, and other multi-functional partners.
- Leverage AI Assisted design tools, Agentic AI workflows, Generative AI solutions, and automation methodologies to improve simulation efficiency, design exploration, debug processes, and engineering productivity.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Foundational knowledge of CMOS circuit design, semiconductor devices, and device physics.
- Experience or academic exposure to circuit simulation and modeling tools such as FINESIM, HSPICE, SPICE, or VERILOG.
- Understanding of digital logic design, state machines, and design verification methodologies.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, written communication, and collaboration skills.
Nice to have
- Experience or coursework in memory design technologies such as DRAM, NAND, SRAM, high-speed circuits, or mixed-signal design.
- Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso, physical design flows, layout methodologies, and power delivery network (PDN) analysis.
- Programming or scripting experience using Python, Tcl, Perl, or similar languages.
- Experience using AI Assisted development tools, Code Assist, LLMs, or Generative AI technologies.
