As a Semiconductor Design Engineer (Principal / Member of Technical Staff / Senior Member of Technical Staff), you will play a key role in designing and optimizing next-generation DRAM products. You will work closely with global design, verification, and multi-functional teams to develop innovative circuit solutions that balance performance, power, quality, reliability, and cost. This role also offers the opportunity to influence technical direction, mentor engineers, and help advance future memory technologies.

Responsibilities:

• Design and optimize digital and analog circuits for next-generation DRAM products, including memory arrays, control logic, datapaths, address decoding, and I/O circuitry.
• Lead circuit development, simulation, verification, and silicon validation to achieve performance, power, area, and quality targets.
• Drive floor-planning, layout optimization, parasitic analysis, and tape-out activities.
• Advance AI-assisted design, automation, and design-space exploration through collaboration with internal and external partners.
• Provide technical leadership through innovation, multi-functional collaboration, and mentorship of other engineers.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, plus MSEE with 10+ years, BSEE with 12+ years, or equivalent relevant semiconductor design experience; SMTS candidates typically have 15+ years of experience with demonstrated technical leadership.
• Extensive knowledge of CMOS circuit design, device physics, state machine logic, and design verification methodologies.
• Experience with Verilog modeling, simulation tools, and power delivery network (PDN) analysis.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and multi-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience with DDR5, LPDDR5/LPDDR6, GDDR6/7, or HBM3/HBM4 memory technologies.
• Experience with FINESIM, HSPICE, or similar schematic entry and simulation tools.
• Experience leading complex circuit design projects and mentoring engineers.
• Exposure to AI/ML-assisted design flows, agentic AI, or advanced design automation frameworks.
