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.

The HBM Architecture team develops advanced datapath solutions that enable industry-leading bandwidth, power efficiency, reliability, and scalability for Micron's next-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. The team collaborates closely across design, PHY, ECC, verification, layout, and system groups to drive innovative logic-die and core-die architectures from concept through production.

We are seeking a highly motivated HBM Datapath Engineer to architect, design, and optimize high-speed data paths for next-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products! This role focuses on logic-die and core-die datapath circuitry, enabling industry-leading bandwidth, power efficiency, reliability, and scalability across JEDEC and custom HBM solutions. The ideal candidate will work closely with design, PHY, ECC, verification, layout, and system teams to deliver robust datapath designs from concept through silicon bring-up and production.
