Director, Custom HBM Design and Architecture

As a Director of Custom HBM Design and Architecture at Micron Technology, you will lead a team responsible for design, integration, and delivery of next‑generation HBM SoC logic die for AI/ML applications.

You will drive technical strategy and execution across multiple product generations and collaborate with architecture, design, verification, physical design, firmware, and product engineering teams.

• Analyze hardware and software interaction at the system level to identify bottlenecks in existing AI/ML workloads and HBM‑based hardware.
• Drive future HBM architecture, design, and technology to address bottlenecks, including implementing proof‑of‑concept designs.
• Translate architectural and micro‑architectural specifications into robust, high‑quality RTL implementations across multiple teams.
• Own RTL design deliverables across the lifecycle, from RTL development through integration, validation, and silicon bring‑up.
• Drive trade‑offs across performance, power, area, schedule, and risk, ensuring optimal product outcomes.
• Proactively identify execution risks and implement mitigation strategies across teams and design phases.
• Build, lead, and scale a high‑performing RTL design and integration team, including recruiting, mentoring, and retention of top engineering talent.
• Set technical direction and expectations, enabling engineers to execute complex designs with high quality and efficiency.
• Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement aligned with organizational values.
• Develop future technical leaders and strengthen organizational capabilities in HBM SoC design.

• Proven experience leading large‑scale SoC design teams delivering complex SoCs to advanced process nodes (e.g., TSMC).
• Deep expertise in RTL design, SoC integration, and full RTL‑to‑GDS flows, including synthesis, timing, and sign‑off considerations.
• Strong experience integrating complex IP subsystems (controllers, NOC, microcontrollers, PHY‑adjacent logic, RAS, MBIST, interfaces).
• Solid understanding of SoC architecture, clocking, reset, power management, and system‑level design trade‑offs.
• Experience with pre‑silicon validation, hardware emulation, and post‑silicon debug methodologies.
• Familiarity with EDA tools and scripting languages (e.g., System Verilog, Python, TCL).
• Knowledge of DRAM/HBM systems and JEDEC standards preferred.

• 15+ years of relevant SoC design experience with increasing scope and technical leadership.
• Demonstrated success driving multiple tape‑outs and cross‑functional SoC programs.
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational influence skills.
• Experience building and managing global engineering teams.

• US base salary range: $ – $ per year.
• Additional compensation may include benefits, bonuses, and equity.
