- Define embedded NVM IP architecture, including EEPROM, ReRAM, and embedded Flash.
- Develop memory architecture specifications covering array organization, peripheral architecture, high-voltage generation, read/write algorithms, program/erase operations, ECC implementation, redundancy, Built-In Self Test (BIST), DFT architecture, and security features.
- Collaborate with process integration teams to optimize memory bitcells and process options.
- Define memory compiler requirements supporting multiple capacities, word widths, and redundancy options.
- Lead architecture reviews and technical decision-making across cross-functional teams.
- Drive silicon bring-up, characterization, failure analysis, and design improvements.
What you'll need
- B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 12+ years of semiconductor memory design experience.
- Deep expertise in Embedded EEPROM, Embedded Flash, or ReRAM.
- Strong understanding of memory bitcell operation, sense amplifiers, write drivers, charge pumps, high-voltage circuits, reference generation, and timing architecture.
- Experience with automotive-grade memory development.
- Experience defining memory compiler architecture.
- Knowledge of semiconductor reliability including endurance, retention, read disturb, write disturb, cycling degradation, HTOL, electromigration, and data retention qualification.
- Experience bringing multiple memory products to production.
