- 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
