About The Position

As a Sr. Design Engineer in Micron Technology’s NVE Design Engineering Core group, you will contribute to developing best-in-class memory products using specialized knowledge and Micron proprietary methods to design and analyze core and mixed circuits. The work focuses on NAND circuit blocks and analog/mixed-signal circuits, including design, simulation, optimization, validation, and collaboration to improve power consumption and product manufacturability, cost, reliability, and time-to-market. You will also build and maintain Python-based AI utilities that work with EDA tools to accelerate development workflows, and support user documentation and build collateral.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is required.
• At least 2 years of proven NAND-design-relevant experience is required.
• High level of self-motivation.
• Proficiency in analog/mixed-signal circuit design, including charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, and bandgaps.
• Good fundamentals in semiconductor and device physics and analog/mixed-signal circuit design.
• Understanding of semiconductor reliability issues, including CHC, NBTI, stress, and snapback, as well as Electromigration (EM) and IR analysis.
• Strong circuit-debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with circuit verification and optimization, circuit layout planning, parasitic extraction, and guiding layout.
• Ability to employ artificial intelligence for task efficiency.
• Excellent teamwork attitude.
• Good English verbal communication skills and ability to convey sophisticated technical concepts verbally and in writing.

Nice To Haves

• MS, PhD, or equivalent experience is preferred.
• Knowledge of analog and digital simulators such as HSPICE, Fast SPICE, and Verilog.
• Familiarity with Cadence design and LVS/DRC tools.
• Experience with a scripting language.
• Familiarity with Linux/UNIX.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, optimize, and floor-plan NAND circuit blocks.
• Evaluate design feasibility and analyze circuit functionality across use cases.
• Implement analog and mixed-signal circuit designs that meet performance and reliability specifications.
• Validate design performance at block and chip levels using industry-standard simulation tools.
• Collaborate with multifunctional teams to analyze and reduce NAND power consumption.
• Build and maintain Python-based AI utilities that collaborate with EDA tools to accelerate development workflows, including environment setup, corner execution, regressions, automated documentation, and predictive build/layout.
• Review existing user documentation and generate new build collateral.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to ensure optimized manufacturability, cost, reliability, and time-to-market.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Income-protection benefit programs for illness or injury.
• Paid family leave.
• Paid time off.
• Paid holidays.
• Additional compensation may include benefits, bonuses, and equity.
