Staff Engineer - CE CAD

Overview

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. Micron’s EDA and Design Enablement team sits at the heart of Micron’s memory development. We build and support the tools, rule decks, and flows that enable world‑class CMOS design and physical verification  work closely with design, layout, and process teams, and we thrive on solving hard technical problems that directly impact product quality and reliability.

As a CAD Engineer, you will play a critical role in enabling robust physical verification across the design ecosystem. You will develop, improve, and support verification tools, rule decks, and flows while partnering closely with engineers across the design and technology stack. This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys debugging, innovating, and ensuring design correctness and manufacturability.

• Develop and improve physical verification tools, rule decks, and methodologies for CMOS design, including DRC, LVS, DFM, and PERC.
• Debug, evaluate, and support in‑house and commercial EDA verification solutions in a production environment.
• Develop and maintain rule decks, and guide design teams on physical verification requirements and best practices.
• Collaborate closely with design, layout, modeling, and process teams to solve verification and workflow challenges.
• Evaluate EDA industry tools and identify opportunities to improve quality, performance, and efficiency.
• Document processes and provide training and support for end users.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in CAD, VLSI, or a related semiconductor engineering role.
• Experience programming in SVRF/TVF (Calibre), Python, and/or Perl.
• Experience with physical verification rule deck development and/or validation, and familiarity with Calibre EDA tools and flows.
• Experience working in Linux/Unix environments, shell scripting, databases, and version control.
• Effective communication skills in a collaborative engineering environment.

• Understanding of CMOS process fundamentals and layout design rules.
• Experience developing and debugging DRC/LVS rule decks, including antenna, ESD, LUP, and reliability checks.
• Experience with parasitic extraction flows and methodologies.
• Good understanding of physical verification methodologies, flows, and quality metrics.
