Job summary

Micron Technology seeks a Sr Design Engineer in Richardson, TX to design, simulate, and validate next‑generation HBM architectures and DRAM blocks, collaborating across global teams to optimize performance, power, area, and yield. A MS in Computer Engineering and 3+ years in DRAM design/verification are preferred.

The role involves post‑silicon bring-up support, layout coordination, and robust verification across advanced memory technologies. This is an on-site position with Micron benefits.

Qualifications

• Prior experience in HBM, DRAM, high-speed I/O, or memory-related designs.
• Familiarity with design constraints.
• Apply AI/ML-enabled tools that enhance productivity, design quality, verification coverage, and time-to-market.
• 3D-stacked architectures, TSVs, wide I/O interfaces, or PHY-adjacent logic.
• Understanding of DRAM array control and high speed circuit design.
• Experience in function verification and timing analysis with mixed signal design.
• Familiar with device reliability.
• Experienced in reliability mitigation technology and verification flow.
• Familiar with analog/digital simulation tools, i.e., HSPICE, VerilogHDL, PrimeSim.
• MS in Computer Engineering or related field.
• 3 years DRAM Design or Verification experience.
• Excellent Problem-Solving & Analytical Skills.
• Identify memory, logic, analog, or mixed-signal circuits used in HBM products, including PHY-adjacent or subsystem logic.

Responsibilities

• Design, optimize, and support post-silicon bring-up, failure analysis, and design correlation when required.
• Work closely with layout engineers on floorplanning, placement, routing, and design rule compliance.
• Review parasitics, EM/IR, and reliability results; drive design or layout fixes as needed.
• Ensure designs are manufacturable and meet foundry and packaging.
• Contribute to HBM architecture definition, block-level specifications, and design tradeoff analysis across performance, power, area, and reliability.
• Perform pre-layout and post-layout simulation, modeling, and analysis to ensure robust design margins.
• Support tape-out activities, ECOs, and reticle experiments as required.
• Participate in functional, timing, and power verification using industry-standard simulation tools.
• Collaborate closely with Design Verification teams to review test plans, debug failures, and close coverage gaps (LLM)

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. As a Sr Design Engineer, you will work on design, simulation, and validation of next‑generation High‑Bandwidth Memory (HBM) architectures and circuit blocks. HBM requires advanced DRAM design knowledge combined with deep understanding of 3D stacked architecture, TSV signaling, wide I/O interfaces, PHY timing, power integrity, and system co‑optimization with GPUs/accelerators. This role sits at the intersection of DRAM design and high‑performance computing, enabling future AI/ML, HPC, and advanced graphics products. In this position, you will collaborate with Micron’s various design and verification teams all over the world and support the efforts of groups such as Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly and Marketing to proactively design products that optimize all manufacturing functions and assure the best cost, quality, reliability, time‑to‑market, and customer satisfaction.
