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. Job Summary A Senior Physical Build Engineer is being sought by Micron Technology to contribute to the development of digital components for DRAM in advanced memory products. In this role, you will manage physical build starting at floorplanning and continuing to tape-out. You will work with RTL, verification, and CAD teams to develop high-quality, manufacturable solutions. You will play a key role in achieving aggressive power, performance, and area (PPA) targets using advanced RTL-to-GDS implementation flows. This is a hybrid position based in Boise, Idaho.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 4+ years of experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of ASIC physical design experience.
• Demonstrated experience delivering physical design for complex digital blocks from floorplanning through tape-out.
• Hands-on experience with place and route, clock tree synthesis, and timing closure in advanced process technologies.
• Strong knowledge of physical design signoff including STA, signal integrity, power integrity, and physical verification.
• Experience using industry-standard physical design tools such as Synopsys ICC2 or Fusion Compiler and PrimeTime.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with low-power physical implementation techniques and their impact on timing, power, and reliability.
• Solid understanding of CMOS technology, standard cell libraries, and physical effects in advanced nodes.
• Experience collaborating across RTL, verification, CAD, and physical design teams.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills with the ability to convey technical issues effectively.
• Experience with memory or high-performance physical design is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Contribute as a senior individual contributor responsible for physical design of DRAM digital blocks using advanced RTL-to-GDS flows.
• Implement high-performance, power- and area-efficient physical designs including floorplanning, place and route, and clock tree synthesis.
• Perform physical design signoff activities including static timing analysis, signal integrity, power integrity, and physical verification.
• Collaborate closely with RTL and implementation teams to resolve timing, power, and integration challenges.
• Apply power-, clock-, and implementation-aware physical design practices to reduce silicon risk and downstream iterations.

Benefits

• Micron benefits are designed to help you stay well, provide peace of mind and help you prepare for the future.
• We offer a choice of medical, dental and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.
