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 Memory Design Engineer in Micron’s Pathfinding Design Team, you will play a key role in crafting next-generation memory technologies. This position involves contributing to defining, developing, and analyzing high speed data paths. These paths span from the memory array to the interface block for memory technologies, including DRAM and emerging memories. You will work on novel concept development, circuit simulation, optimization, and floor planning to enable groundbreaking memory solutions!

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in high speed/bandwidth data-path design.
• Proficiency with UNIX and CADENCE design environment (Simulation, Schematic entry, SPF extraction)

Nice To Haves

• DDR, or other high-performance memory architectures
• Clock‑domain crossing (CDC), reset strategies, and low‑power design
• Semi-Custom digital circuit design (high-speed data-path design experience is strongly preferred).
• ECC design.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical direction and design implement for high speed/bancwidth data-path circuit from memory array to interface block.
• Design any data-path related circuit, such as timing generator, and CLK-tree.
• 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.
• Demonstrated experience working with custom mixed-signal IC build and development for volatile or nonvolatile memory technology.
• Experience with modeling and simulation of ICs using hspice/finesim.
