Principal Digital Designer, HIG HBM
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. 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.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with 9+ years of proven experience, or Master’s degree with 7+ years of proven experience in digital development and RTL development.
- Expert-level knowledge of front-end digital design, RTL coding, micro-architecture, and system integration.
- Deep understanding of timing closure, power optimization, area trade-offs, and system-level complexity management.
- Strong experience with synthesis, STA, constraints, LEC, Lint, CDC, and front-end sign-off methodologies.
- Proven ability to lead technical teams, mentor engineers, and influence build direction across large programs.
- Exceptional problem-solving, analytical, communication, and technical leadership skills.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with UPF, power-intent development, power analysis, DFT/scan insertion, ATPG, and timing model generation.
- Proficiency in Python, Perl, or scripting to automate and improve design flows.
- Familiarity with sophisticated place-and-route tools and back-end requirements for successful RTL-to-GDS integration.
- Proven history delivering high-complexity systems, preferably in memory, high-speed I/O, or compute-intensive ASIC builds.
- Ability to define architectural trade-offs, influence product direction, and guide teams toward scalable and maintainable build solutions.
Responsibilities
- Define, architect, and lead the development of advanced RTL blocks for HBM subsystems, ensuring alignment with product requirements and architectural goals.
- Own end‑to-end front‑end design, including micro‑architecture, RTL development, simulation strategy, and design quality.
- Drive technical decisions across circuit development, synthesis, constraints, and physical‑design integration, ensuring timing, power, and area compliance.
- Champion design methodologies, develop reusable frameworks, and improve RTL design flows, validation strategies, and sign‑off processes.
- Collaborate closely with physical design, verification, architecture, and product engineering to integrate subsystems and deliver high‑quality silicon.
- Lead root‑cause analysis and corrective actions for complex design issues, ensuring long-term design robustness.
- Communicate effectively at all levels, contributing to technical planning, project execution, and cross-organizational alignment.
