Principal Digital Designer, HIG HBM

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

As a Principal HBM RTL Designer, you will serve as a technical leader driving the front‑end digital design of next‑generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. This role requires deep expertise in RTL architecture, build methodology, and multi‑functional technical leadership. You will own complex design blocks end‑to‑end—from architectural definition through production‑quality implementation—while mentoring engineers, influencing design strategy, and ensuring world‑class design execution.

As a world leader in the semiconductor industry, Micron is dedicated to your personal wellbeing and professional growth. Micron benefits are designed to help you stay well, provide peace of mind and help you prepare for the future. Micron offers a choice of medical, dental and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.

Micron also provides benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave. Additionally, Micron benefits include a robust paid time‑off program and paid holidays. For additional information regarding the benefit programs available, please see the Benefits Guide posted on
