Principal Engineer, HBM Memory Design

Employer

Job Description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

Our Opportunity Summary

For more than 43 years, Micron Technology, Inc. has redefined innovation with the world’s most advanced memory and semiconductor technologies. We’re an international team of visionaries and scientists, developing groundbreaking technologies that are transforming how the world uses information to enrich life.

In HBM DEG (High Bandwidth Memory, DRAM Eng Group), we innovate and integrate end-to-end groundbreaking front-end and backend processes with groundbreaking design, debugging various tests, and qualification techniques to develop the lowest power per bit solution to improve customer experience in the field of ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). The success of a sophisticated product such as HBM relies vastly on vertical integration and the various engineering working in unison. To provide greater detail, our HBM technology pertains to stacking numbers of DRAM chips along with a logic chip within one package through an assembly technology called TSV (Through Silicon Via). This greatly increases the memory density in a package, while allowing very high-speed signal transmission. Furthermore, "high bandwidth"; is an outstanding memory design area where custom gate-level design and RTL style logic design are blended into the same product, and most of the DDR or LPDDR design is based on the gate-level design only. Lastly, verification and testing (validation) of HBM is the most challenging due to the total size of the design and complexity of the functions, and in addition to craft, many innovations are needed for verification and validation of the HBM product, thereby making uniquely exciting.

As an HBM Interface Design Engineer in DRAM and Emerging memory Group (DEG), you will be responsible for designing and verifying Functional Blocks used in the development of the interface die in HBM products. This includes designing, simulating, optimizing, verification, and timing analysis. You will also support the efforts of HBM Memory Design and Verification groups to proactively develop products that optimize all manufacturing functions and assure the best performance, power, cost, quality, reliability, time-to-market, and customer satisfaction.

(Disclaimer): While you may not exhibit all of the characteristics/skills listed below today, we are highly interested in a team member who is anxious to grow in both technical breadth and depth. If you are open to learning from, while being a valued member of, a team of seasoned engineers, we are anxious to help build upon your existing foundation, while expanding your individual and collaborative skills in this exciting and unique opportunity.

Our team vision is a continuing desire to develop your skills working in an inclusive diverse environment of multi-cultural Teams across worldwide geographies! Enabling the creative career path you deserve with competitive compensation, bonus structure & equity.
