Digital Design & SoC Architecture
Memory & Storage Technologies
About the role
What you'll do
- Lead development of advanced embedded memory technologies with emphasis on ReRAM and other emerging non-volatile memory solutions.
- Define memory technology requirements including PPA targets, density goals, endurance, retention, cost, yield, and manufacturability criteria.
- Drive bitcell and array architecture evaluations, including topology selection, assist schemes, variability assessment, margin analysis, and DFM assumptions.
- Plan and execute silicon learning activities, including test-chip definition, split/DOE planning, metrology, electrical characterization, and data analysis.
- Analyze read/write behavior, endurance, retention, disturb mechanisms, variation, failure Pareto trends, and model-to-silicon correlation.
- Translate silicon learning into design rules, compact models, memory assumptions, characterization specifications, and reusable technology collateral.
What you'll need
- Master of Science or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or Semiconductor Engineering.
- 5-10 years of relevant semiconductor industry experience in technology development, process integration, device engineering, characterization, reliability, or memory development.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor devices, wafer fabrication, process integration, and electrical characterization methodologies.
- Experience planning and analyzing DOE/split experiments, silicon learning vehicles, statistical data sets, yield learning, or technology qualification data.
- Knowledge of memory characterization methods including read, write, retention, endurance, variability, margin, and failure-mode evaluation.
- Working knowledge of device modeling, compact model correlation, SPICE/TCAD simulation concepts, or circuit-to-silicon correlation.
- Familiarity with semiconductor reliability principles and qualification methodologies such as HTOL, retention, endurance, ESD, latch-up, and failure analysis.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex cross-functional engineering efforts from concept through silicon learning and qualification readiness.
