Staff Memory Circuit Design Engineer
Originally posted 20 August 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves the development of foundation IP for AI products, including memory compilers, logic cells, and custom macros. You will be part of a team responsible for designing and building memory or circuit blocks.
What you'll do
- Design and build memory or circuit blocks at the gate or transistor level
- Simulate and analyze circuit designs using transistor level simulators
- Extract layout and perform post-layout simulations and verification
- Floorplan physical implementation and integrate layout of design components
- Integrate characterization flow to extract timing and power information
- Develop scripts to automate characterization flow, simulations, and verification
- Specify and verify various behavioral and physical memory models
- Document design specifications, behavioral descriptions, and timing diagrams
- Help specify silicon test plan and correlate silicon to simulation data
What you'll need
- Good understanding of transistor level circuit behavior and device physics
- Good understanding of signal integrity analysis, EM/IR analysis, and reliability analysis
- Proficiency in running simulators and writing automation scripts
Nice to have
- Understanding of memory behavioral and physical models
- Expertise in memory circuit design
- Understanding of DFT schemes and chip level integration
Skills: memory or circuit blocks, transistor level simulators, layout, memory behavioral and physical models, silicon test plan
