Staff DRAM Design Engineer
Design and analyze digital and analog circuits for DRAM memory products.
Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves designing and analyzing digital and analog circuits used in the development of memory products. You will play a critical role in shaping DRAM memory architectures and circuit innovations that directly impact product performance, power, and reliability.
What you'll do
- Lead design and optimization of DRAM circuits including memory array, control logic, datapath, and test logic.
- Perform and analyze circuit simulations using tools such as SPICE and Verilog.
- Evaluate architectural trade-offs impacting power, performance, and die size.
- Integrate layout parasitics into simulations and drive design for manufacturability.
- Define validation strategies including test chip development and silicon bring-up.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 5+ years of circuit design experience or 7+ years of product engineering experience.
- Strong understanding of analog and digital circuit fundamentals and debugging.
- Experience with circuit simulation tools and methodologies.
- Knowledge of CMOS behavior, timing, and performance optimization.
Nice to have
- Experience with memory architectures, especially DRAM array design and sense amplifiers.
- Familiarity with DFT/DFM concepts and semiconductor test flows.
- Experience working with layout parasitics and advanced process nodes.
- Interest or experience in applying AI tools to engineering workflows.
