About the role
This role involves designing, simulating, and verifying memory or circuit blocks at the gate or transistor level.
What you'll do
- Analyze different memory architectures and highlight tradeoffs.
- Design and build memory or circuit blocks at the gate or transistor level.
- Simulate and analyze circuit designs using transistor level simulators.
- Extract layout, perform post-layout simulations and verification.
- Specify and verify various behavioral and physical memory models.
- Specify silicon test plans and correlate silicon to simulation data.
What you'll need
- Knowledge in development of memory compilers or custom digital circuits (SRAMs, Register-files, Multi-ports, ROM).
- Understanding of transistor level circuit behavior and device physics.
- Understanding of signal integrity, EM/IR, and reliability analysis.
- Understanding of memory behavioral and physical models.
- Understanding of DFT schemes and chip level integration.
- Proficiency in running simulators and writing automation scripts.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with test setups, silicon testing and debug.
