About The Position

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. We are seeking a Principal Digital Design Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and delivery of next-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) solutions. This role is a key technical leadership position within the HBM design team, responsible for driving complex digital designs from architecture definition through silicon validation and production. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on digital build expertise, system-level understanding of HBM architectures, and technical leadership across multi-functional teams, including architecture, verification, physical development, signal integrity, and product engineering.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in digital IC design, with significant experience in memory or high-speed interface designs.
• Strong expertise in: SystemVerilog RTL design HBM, DDR, or other high-performance memory architectures Clock‑domain crossing (CDC), reset strategies, and low‑power design Static timing analysis concepts and timing-aware RTL design
• Proven experience leading complex blocks or subsystems through successful silicon.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with HBM2 / HBM2E / HBM3 or later architectures.
• Familiarity with: Memory controller scheduling algorithms ECC, RAS, and reliability features Power management and DVFS in memory subsystems
• Experience with pre-silicon validation platforms (FPGA, emulation).
• Strong debugging skills across RTL, gate‑level, and silicon.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers or acting as a technical lead.

Responsibilities

• Lead digital architecture and micro‑architecture definition for HBM subsystems, including memory controllers, PHY interfaces, command/address logic, scheduling, ECC, and reliability features.
• Drive architectural tradeoffs across performance, power, area, and reliability (PPA) for advanced HBM generations.
• Provide technical direction and design reviews for complex RTL and system-level implementations.
• Own and implement high-quality RTL (SystemVerilog) for critical HBM digital blocks.
• Ensure robust clocking, reset, low‑power, and DFT-ready design practices.
• Collaborate closely with physical design teams to ensure timing closure, CDC robustness, and power intent alignment.
• Support pre-silicon validation, emulation, and post-silicon debug and bring‑up.
• Analyze silicon results and drive corrective actions across design revisions.
