R&D Engineering, Sr Engineer
Originally posted 14 September 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 30 September 2026.
About the role
This role involves the design and optimization of SRAM bitcells and peripheral circuits for power, performance, area, and yield. The focus includes memory solutions that power AI, mobile, automotive, and networking silicon.
What you'll do
- Design and optimize SRAM bitcells and peripheral circuits including sense amplifiers, write drivers, precharge circuits, and row/column decoders.
- Run transistor-level simulations using SPICE-class tools to validate circuit behavior.
- Perform Monte Carlo and variability analysis to ensure robust operation.
- Contribute to SRAM compiler development and automation flows using scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Debug circuit failures, analyze noise margins, and implement read/write assist techniques.
- Document design decisions, simulation results, and circuit methodologies.
What you'll need
- B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, VLSI Design, or Microelectronics.
- 0-2 years of experience in circuit design, VLSI engineering, or memory design (internships, projects, and relevant coursework included).
- Strong foundation in CMOS device physics, transistor operation, and semiconductor process technology.
- Understanding of SRAM architecture, bitcell design, and memory circuit fundamentals.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Experience with SRAM compiler development.
- Experience with advanced node design challenges.
- Published work in memory design.
