Job summary

Micron Technology is seeking a Principal RTL Design Engineer to lead the development of DRAM digital and mixed-signal IP, from architecture through silicon-ready signoff, delivering designs that meet power, performance and area targets.

The role emphasizes technical leadership and collaboration with global teams, with responsibilities spanning front-end checks, timing QoR, and working closely with physical design, verification and architecture units on timing closure.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of pre-silicon RTL design experience or Bachelor’s degree with 10+ years of pre-silicon RTL design experience.
• Proven ownership of complex RTL/IP development from micro-architecture definition through handoff to physical design.
• Strong experience with ASIC low-power design methodologies, including UPF-based power intent and power-aware CDC/RDC.
• In-depth knowledge of RTL design, logic synthesis, functional verification, and static timing analysis (STA).
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and industry-standard simulation and front-end tools.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive RTL design for DRAM digital and mixed-signal IP from specification through silicon-ready signoff.
• Architect and deliver high-performance, power- and area-efficient RTL designs aligned with product requirements.
• Perform and sign off front-end quality checks, including lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, UPF, and timing QoR.
• Collaborate closely with physical design, verification, and architecture teams to achieve timing closure and PPA goals.
• Improve design quality and efficiency by refining methodologies, driving automation, and enhancing RTL design flows.
