Job Summary

Micron is seeking a Senior Digital Design Engineer to contribute to the development of advanced DRAM digital and mixed-signal blocks. This role is responsible for RTL design, implementation, synthesis, timing analysis, power optimization, and design quality throughout the RTL-to-GDS flow. The engineer will collaborate with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to deliver high-performance, power-efficient designs that meet product specifications and PPA (Power, Performance, Area) objectives for next-generation memory products.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deliver RTL for complex DRAM digital and mixed-signal blocks, ensuring alignment with product specifications and performance targets.
• Perform front-end design quality checks including linting, CDC/RDC analysis, logic synthesis, timing constraint development, and timing closure activities.
• Collaborate with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to optimize power, performance, area (PPA), and overall design quality.
• Develop and maintain synthesis and timing constraints (SDC), analyze timing reports, and drive timing closure across multiple operating scenarios.
• Improve design methodologies, automation, and RTL-to-GDS flows to enhance development efficiency, design quality, and time-to-market.

Minimum Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent) with 4+ years of experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of experience in digital ASIC/RTL design.
• Proven experience developing RTL for complex digital designs from specification through implementation handoff.
• Strong knowledge of ASIC front-end design flows including RTL design, functional verification, logic synthesis, CDC/RDC analysis, and static timing analysis (STA).
• Experience developing and maintaining design constraints (SDC), including clocks, timing exceptions, I/O constraints, and multi-mode multi-corner timing scenarios
• Proficiency with Verilog/SystemVerilog and industry-standard simulation tools.
• Experience with low-power design methodologies, UPF-based power intent, timing constraints, and PPA optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing RTL for memory products or other high-performance digital designs.
• Familiarity with CMOS digital and mixed‑signal circuit concepts.
• Experience collaborating across architecture, verification, and physical implementation teams to resolve integration and design challenges.
• Demonstrated ability to improve engineering productivity through process improvements, automation, and enhanced design methodologies.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, with the ability to demonstrate AI-assisted technologies and generative AI tools to improve engineering efficiency and collaboration.
