Senior Custom Design Engineer

Design and ship high-performance, low-power SRAM and custom-digital sub-systems that sit at the core of our compute-in-memory technology. You will own architecture, circuit implementation, verification, and silicon correlation for advanced nodes, down to sub-5 nm, thereby improving both the efficiency and robustness of our macros. Expect hands‑on work on memory periphery and datapath interfaces, as well as close collaboration with layout, digital, backend, DFT, and test teams.

• Design and verify embedded SRAM or custom digital blocks, including caches, register files, datapath, and datapath‑adjacent interfaces.
• Optimize for PPA on advanced nodes: variation and stability closure, corners and Monte Carlo, leakage and dynamic power reduction.
• Integrate for product: define clean digital boundaries and timing budgets so blocks drop into a digital‑on‑top flow without surprises.
• Plan and run silicon correlation: bring‑up, characterization benches, analysis of ATE data, clear errata, and fixes.
• Partner with layout early on floorplan, guarding, shielding, routing topology; review extraction and resolve EM/IR issues.
• Improve methods with scripts for characterization, regression, and reporting (Python or Tcl), and contribute specs, checklists, and reusable collateral.

• Tape‑in and silicon of at least one SRAM or custom‑memory sub‑system that meets spec across PVT, with signed correlation and test reports.
• A measurable efficiency gain on an existing macro or block you optimize, documented with before/after data.
• A reusable design and verification kit (models, plans, scripts, checklists) that shortens the following variant’s cycle time.

• MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 5+ years in custom digital, analog, or SRAM design.
• Proven ownership through complete design cycleson sub‑blocks.
• Strong understanding of high‑performance and low‑power circuit design on FinFET nodes, including bitcell stability and periphery trade‑offs.
• Ability to frame and communicate clear interfaces and constraints across teams; organized, self‑directed, delivery‑oriented.

• Scripting for automation and characterization (Python, Tcl).
• Experience with memory compiler development, characterization, or verification.
• DTCO or STCO experience aligning device, bitcell, and periphery choices with product goals.
• A creative mindset and a drive for continuous improvement aimed at extreme hardware optimization.
