Technical Staff Engineer-Design

Microchip•San Jose, CA

6d•Onsite

About The Position

The position is responsible for the design, development, and integration of analog circuit blocks for Flash-IP and/or memBrain IP, which uses an analog compute-in-memory (CIM) approach based on SuperFlash technology to handle vector matrix multiplication for neural networks, enabling ultra-low-power AI inference at the edge and in data centers. The role requires close coordination with engineers from design, technology, process, and testing departments to facilitate effective collaboration and project delivery. Additionally, the position involves interfacing with marketing teams and customers to support the development of embedded flash memory macros and address specific requirements.

Requirements

BSEE with 10 years+ of experience in analog design
Experience in leading analog design aspects of product development, driving architecture definition, circuit implementation, and validation
Experience in non-volatile memory design (HV circuits, charge pump generation and regulation, references, sensing, read circuits, etc)
Experience in silicon validation, debug, and testing
Experience in CAD tools ( HSPICE/FINESIM, Verilog, Cadence Design Entry, LPE, EMIR, etc) ) for design flow
Creative thinker capable of finding solutions to solve complex problems
Team player able to work in a cross-functional team environment

Nice To Haves

Experience in data conversion circuits (DAC, ADC)
Experience in communication circuits ( PLL, DLL, LVDS, HS interfaces, etc.)
Experience in regulation circuits (LDO, digital LDO) and references (bandgap, bias, etc.)
Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Tcl, etc.) and AI Tool adoption
Knowledge in Semiconductor device physics
Neural network (e. g, MLP, CNN, Transformer, LMM ) knowledge with PTQ and/or HAT for HW implementation

Responsibilities
