Director, Custom HBM Design and Architecture

Micron Technology • Folsom, CA

1d • $199,000 - $379,000

About The Position

As a Director of Custom HBM Design and Architecture, you will lead a team responsible for the 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, working closely with architecture, design, verification, physical design, firmware, and product engineering teams.

Requirements

• 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 signoff 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., SystemVerilog, Python, TCL).

Nice To Haves

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Drive translation of 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.

Benefits

• Choice of medical, dental and vision plans
• Benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury
• Paid family leave
• Robust paid time-off program
• Paid holidays
