And thanks to our welcoming yet fast-paced work environment, it is easy to collaborate with fellow team members to get difficult problems solved and turn customers’ dreams into reality faster.
The Senior/Principal HBM CAD Engineer is a technical leadership role within the Engineering Automation (EA) organization at Micron. We deliver DTK (Design Technology Kit) collateral, environments, tools and flows for the design, implementation, verification, & tape out of custom memory designs. These CAD tools and collateral enable DRAM, NAND, and other emerging memory designs on a range of industry-leading Micron-developed process nodes.
Specific focus:
TSMC mixed-signal, custom-digital experience like ADE-XL, Spectre, synthesis tools (DC/Genus), implementation tools (ICC2, Innovus), STA (Primetime, Tempus), EMIR (Redhawk, Voltus etc), functional & timing verification of cell-based designs (dynamic simulation and static analysis). Our ideal candidates combine pure digital RTL2GDS blocks with custom digital & analog blocks using TSMC collateral/environments for high speed, low power, area-efficient designs.
Responsibilities :
Own the day-to-day support of CAD tools, flows and collateral provided by functionally organized CAD teams worldwide to HBM design teams at the Dallas or Folsom Design Center. The tools and flows enable all aspects of mixed-signal, transistor-level custom IC design including logical design, custom layout, parameterized cells, automated place and route tools, physical design verification (LVS, DRC), ERC, Layout Parasitic Extraction, pre and post layout net listing and simulation, digital and analog circuit simulation, timing and power analysis, reliability simulation and analysis (including HCI, BTI, EM/IR), tape out and mask generation.
Drive close collaboration with HBM design, layout, & verification methodology teams to propose and co-develop capabilities outstanding or under supported by EDA vendors and deploy outstanding practices and methodologies consistently to High Bandwidth Memory designs worldwide.
Drive research and development at the intersection of IC Design Automation and Machine Learning to envision, scope, develop and deliver solutions benefiting IC design.
Qualifications:
Bachelor or preferably Masters/PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
(5-15) + years of direct CAD or Design experience in mixed-signal, custom IC design flows or Digital RTL to GDS Flows.
Familiarity with memory design preferred (DDR3/4/5, LP3/4/5, HBM, NAND)
Knowledge of CMOS circuit design, layout and verification, and in-depth experience supporting some of these areas:
CMOS transistor level design, logical design and net listing CMOS digital and analog layout, Cadence Skill, and parameterized cells
Automated place and route tools
LVS, DRC, LPE flows
ERC flows, static and dynamic circuit checks
Circuit simulation including nanometer scale MOS and interconnect effects
Digital simulation and verification flows (System Verilog/UVM test benches and coverage systems)
Power delivery network simulation and analysis
Reliability flows such as HCI, BTI, EM/IR, crosstalk
Mask generation and tape out basics
Knowledge and experience vetting and deploying sophisticated EDA software flows
Experience qualifying vendor tools and internally developed software releases
Experience developing software prototypes for innovative ideas in IC design, layout, and analysis
Experience running agile (software) sprints is a plus
Experience with Machine Learning algorithms and applications
Experience and record of accomplishment delivering production-grade ML applications in IC Design (one or more areas including custom design, layout, logic and timing verification, circuit simulation and physical design verification)
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are required
Strive to continuously learn, develop new skills, and self-improve
