Job summary

Micron Technology seeks an experienced HBM Datapath Architect to design and optimize high-speed datapath circuitry for next-generation HBM products. You will work across core and logic die with cross-functional teams to deliver robust datapath designs from concept through silicon bring-up.

The role requires 7+ years in relevant field with strong RTL/schematic experience, plus knowledge of HBM/DRAM architectures and high-speed layout considerations.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant industry experience with a bachelor’s degree or 5+ years with a Master’s degree.
• 3+ years of experience in high-speed digital datapath design (memory, SerDes, or SoC datapath).
• 3+ years hands-on experience with digital schematic build, RTL, or mixed-signal datapath implementations.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design HBM read and write datapath across core and logic die, including alignment, buffering, timing, and control logic.
• Develop high-speed, low-latency datapath circuits supporting multi-channel HBM architectures and wide internal buses.
• Optimize datapath designs for bandwidth, power, area, and timing closure at advanced technology nodes.
• Design and integrate data reliability features, including parity, ECC hooks, lane redundancy, and remapping mechanisms.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to translate specifications into robust micro-architectures.
• Collaborate with PHY, DFT, verification, and layout teams to ensure accurate functionality, testability, and manufacturability.
• Drive schematic-level and RTL-level datapath implementations, including clocking, gating, and reset strategies.
• Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and technical mentoring across HBM programs.
• Demonstrate proficiency in using AI-enabled tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot and other approved AI solutions) to improve productivity.
