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.

Benefits

• Micron offers a choice of medical, dental and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.
• Micron also provides benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave.
• Additionally, Micron benefits include a robust paid time‑off program and paid holidays.
