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. Interface Pathfinding is where we turn bold interface ideas into working silicon. We design and tape out advanced PHY chips years ahead of products, learning directly from real hardware. We’re a small, senior team that values ownership, strong judgment, and close collaboration across analog, digital, and lab disciplines! This role owns the full physical design flow for a high‑speed interface chip. You’ll take the design from synthesized netlist through GDSII, serving as the primary PD voice on a lean program. Your work will directly shape timing closure, power integrity, and tape‑out quality for next‑generation PHY prototypes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 8+ years of physical design experience with at least one full chip tape‑out
• Hands‑on expertise with Cadence Innovus and Tempus
• Experience closing DRC, LVS, and ERC using Calibre
• Proven ability to own PD decisions and drive issues to closure on small teams

Nice To Haves

• Experience with mixed‑signal or analog‑adjacent physical design
• Familiarity with power integrity analysis using Voltus or RedHawk
• Experience with multi‑voltage designs and UPF or CPF
• Background leading PD for a chip or major subsystem

Responsibilities

• Define and implement full‑chip floorplans in collaboration with analog and digital teams
• Execute place and route, timing closure, and ECOs through final sign‑off
• Own static timing, power integrity, and physical verification closure
• Integrate scan and support DFT and ATPG execution
• Coordinate with foundry and document PD decisions for follow‑on designs

Benefits

• Choice of medical, dental and vision plans
• Benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury
• Paid family leave
• Robust paid time‑off program
• Paid holidays
