Job description

About the Role

Micron Technology is a world leader in memory and storage solutions. The Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG) develops High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) solutions for AI and ML applications. The HBM Design Verification team ensures the functionality, performance, and quality of next‑generation memory products. As a Senior Design Verification Engineer, you will collaborate with design, architecture, and product engineering teams to verify complex, high‑density DRAM circuits and deliver production‑ready designs. The role focuses on verifying high‑density memory chips (up to 32 Gb) with over 4 million transistors, ultra‑high speed designs, and advanced low‑power and power‑management technologies such as DDR5 and LPDDR5.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate full‑chip and block‑level HBM and DRAM circuit designs to ensure functional correctness and performance.
• Develop verification plans from functional specifications in collaboration with architects and design teams.
• Create, enhance, and maintain verification environments, testbenches, test vectors, and regressions.
• Increase functional coverage across DRAM architectures and features using appropriate verification tools and methodologies.
• Debug design issues, support root‑cause analysis, track bugs, and drive coverage and closure.
• Apply mixed‑signal and digital verification techniques using industry‑standard simulation tools.
• Collaborate with global design, verification, and product engineering teams to ensure successful project execution.
• Lead verification efforts on assigned projects and mentor verification engineers who are developing their skills.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of CMOS circuit design fundamentals.
• 7 plus years of experience with mixed‑signal and/or digital verification methodologies.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog (or equivalent), including assertions (SVA), and verification methodologies.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem‑solving skills with effective technical communication abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with analog and digital simulation tools such as HSPICE, Verilog‑HDL, and FINESIM.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Perl to support verification automation.
• Demonstrated technical leadership, including mentoring engineers and influencing verification strategies.
