SRAM Design Engineer, Staff
Originally posted 17 June 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 17 August 2026.
About the role
This role involves designing, verifying, and characterizing SRAM integrated circuits and developing SRAM compilers. The focus includes SRAM bitcell analysis and integrating SP/2P/ROM variety designs into SRAM IP solutions.
What you'll do
- Design and verify SRAM integrated circuits to ensure robustness and reliability.
- Develop SRAM compilers, including gds and netlist tiling.
- Characterize SRAM timing, power, and other critical metrics.
- Conduct SRAM bitcell analysis and formulate design criteria.
- Utilize EDA tools (XA, hspice, Verilog, Starrc, EMIR) for simulation, verification, and design optimization.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address post-silicon debug and implement improvements.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field.
- 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in SRAM circuit design.
- Prior understanding of CMOS-based block level circuit design and SRAM architectures.
- Experience with SP/2P/ROM variety design and SRAM bitcell analysis.
- Proficiency in digital circuit design and VLSI process concepts.
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl/Tk, Perl, and Unix shell.
- Experience with EDA tools for simulation and design: XA, hspice, Verilog, Starrc, EMIR.
Nice to have
- Post-silicon debug experience is a plus.
