SRAM Circuit Design Engineer - Beaverton, United States
Originally posted 20 July 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves designing and implementing custom digital circuits for SRAM within the Digital Custom Group. Your designs will influence CPU, GPU, SoC, Neural Engine, and Camera designs.
What you'll do
- Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM design.
- Formulate design specifications with the logic/architecture team.
- Define architecture/topologies optimizing for power, timing, area, and yield.
- Perform schematic capture, simulations/analysis, and margin verifications.
- Conduct functional equivalency and DFT modeling.
- Work with the layout team to create optimal GDS.
- Verify extracted GDS meets design specifications.
- Perform backend verification, IR/EM.
- Write RTL, validate use-cases, and verify against design schematics.
- Support post-silicon efforts to enable productization.
What you'll need
- BS degree and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
- Work experience within an SoC design cycle, developing circuits and SRAM/Register File for low power, low voltage, and high performance.
- Knowledge of Cache design/architecture.
- Knowledge of memory hierarchy.
- Working knowledge of RTL modeling.
- Solid understanding of industry-standard design tools.
- Deep understanding of nanometer device physics, leakage mechanisms, and technology interactions with device behavior.
- Ability to devise experiments and analyze data for silicon debug.
Nice to have
- Machine Learning algorithms (ML).
- Scripting.
