R&D Engineering, Sr Manager
Originally posted 30 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves leading an engineering team focused on the architecture and circuit implementation of embedded memory products such as SRAM, Register File, TCAM, and ROM.
What you'll do
- Lead a team developing SRAM, Register File, TCAM, and ROM architectures and circuit implementations across advanced FinFET nodes.
- Oversee the full memory design flow from architecture definition through schematic entry, simulation, layout planning, verification, characterization, and model generation.
- Drive low-power and area-efficient circuit design strategies, balancing performance, variation, and manufacturability constraints.
- Coordinate with CAD teams on layout verification, parasitic extraction, and compiler automation using Perl and Python.
- Manage project timelines, prioritize deliverables, and resolve technical and resourcing issues across multi-site teams.
- Mentor engineers on memory compiler development, transistor-level design, and advanced node challenges.
What you'll need
- BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech/MS in Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
- 15+ years of hands-on experience in embedded memory design, including SRAM, Register File, TCAM, or ROM.
- Deep expertise across the full memory design flow: architecture, circuit design, layout, compiler automation, characterization, timing, and model generation.
- Proven experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex projects on schedule in a multi-site environment.
- Strong proficiency in Perl and Python for design automation and scripting.
- Hands-on experience with deep submicron and FinFET technologies, including variation-aware design techniques.
- Solid understanding of CMOS fundamentals, digital design, RC circuits, transfer function analysis, and CMOS fabrication processes.
