SRAM Design Lead: Architect High-Performance Memory

Micron Technology, Inc.; Boise (ID); On-site; USD 153,000 - 267,000; Full time

Job summary

Micron Technology, Inc. in Boise, Idaho seeks an experienced SRAM Design Engineer to develop high-performance, low-power embedded memory IP and testchip content across advanced technologies.

You will lead architecture definition, transistor-level circuit design, layout interface, and pre-/post-silicon validation, collaborating with layout, CAD, process, test, and product teams to deliver production-ready memory solutions.

Qualifications

• Experience in SRAM, register-file, ROM, or other memory circuit design.
• Strong knowledge of CMOS transistor-level design, memory architecture and timing.
• Hands-on with Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE-class simulators.
• Experience with PVT corners, Monte Carlo, and post-layout analyses.
• Ability to translate requirements into architecture, verification plans, and release criteria.
• Collaborates with layout, CAD, process/foundry, verification, product, and chip testing teams.
• Clear technical communication and problem-solving skills.
• Structured working style and ability to debug complex circuits.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize custom SRAM, register-file, and embedded-memory circuits.
• Develop and verify memory-array subsystems including bitcell arrays and decoders.
• Evaluate stability, performance, leakage, power and area across conditions.
• Own transistor-level simulation and signoff across tools and corners.
• Drive SRAM PPA optimization through sizing and architectural choices.
• Define timing, power, noise, and functional characterization methodologies.
• Partner with layout engineers on floorplanning and routing.
• Support memory-compiler development with configurations and checks.
• Develop automation for macro assembly and regression using Python, Tcl, Perl, SKILL.
• Plan and support SRAM testchips and pre/post-silicon activities.
• Lead pre-silicon verification, silicon bring-up and model-to-silicon correlation.
• Create circuit specifications, reviews, and release documentation.
• Mentor engineers on memory-circuit fundamentals and debugging.
• Explore AI-assisted workflows for specification extraction and design automation.
