Job description

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.

We are seeking a Principal Analog Design Engineer to lead the design, integration, and delivery of advanced analog and mixed-signal IPs for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. This role is critical in developing and integrating high-performance analog subsystems within the HBM logic die, enabling industry-leading bandwidth, power efficiency, and reliability.

As a principal engineer, you will provide deep technical leadership across analog design, IP integration, system alignment, and silicon execution, driving end-to-end success of HBM solutions.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Lead the design and own critical HBM analog circuits, including:
  • High‑speed transmitters and receivers
  • Clock generation and distribution (PLLs, DLLs, CDRs)
  • SerDes‑related analog blocks
  • Biasing, reference, and calibration circuits
  • Power delivery and regulation circuits (LDOs, regulators)
• Define and lead IP interfaces, power domains, clocking schemes, and reset strategies across subsystems
• Perform detailed pre‑layout and post‑layout simulations
• Conduct PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, and aging analyses
• Work closely with layout engineers to definefloorplanningand symmetry requirements,ensure matching, shielding, and EM/IR compliance
• Review and sign off on analog layouts
• Drive layout‑aware build optimizations for advanced nodes
• Define guidelines for analog build, documentation, and reuse
• Collaborate across analog, digital, system, packaging, and test teams

Minimum Qualifications:

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
• ~10-15+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal IC build
• Proven expertise in:
  • High-speed interface design
  • Clocking circuits (PLL/DLL/CDR)
  • Power management circuits
• Strong experience in:
  • Analog IP integration at subsystem or SoC level
  • SPICE simulation, extraction, and modeling
  • Silicon bring‑up and lab validation
• Deep understanding of:
  • Advanced CMOS processes
  • Noise, jitter, SI/PI, and cross-domain coupling effects

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep knowledge of DRAM sub‑system architecture, specification, operation, or build.
• Understanding of Physical Layout & Circuit Floor Planning
• Excellent Problem‑Solving & Analytical Skills
