  • Develop memory architectures and implement them in advanced semiconductor technologies.
  • Perform schematic capture, simulation, and margin verification of major memory blocks.
  • Oversee layout planning to ensure tight pitch-matched memory layout designs.
  • Collaborate with architecture and design teams to define memory PPA and yield targets.
  • Manage the full embedded memory design flow, including architecture, circuit design, physical implementation, compiler usage, characterization, timing, and model generation.

What you'll need

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
  • Over 10 years of experience in memory design, verification, validation, and integration.
  • Strong knowledge of custom memory design, high-speed, and low-power memory design for configuration of FPGA.
  • Expertise in high-performance and low-power design techniques.
  • Familiarity with variation-aware design in advanced semiconductor technologies.

Nice to have

  • Experience with large density memory cell design for high yield.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor device fundamentals.

Skills: SRAM, CRAM, memory architectures, FinFET, memory PPA, memory design, memory compiler
