Role Posting Log in to save

As an ASIC Design Engineer, you will join a complex team focused on crafting upcoming products and transforming hardware technology. Your daily responsibilities involve architecture research and development of memory or highly interconnected system architectures, as well as RTL and micro-architecture work. You will drive new memory system architectures from DRAM up, explore trade-offs in system performance, area, and power consumption, and develop memory hierarchies for high-performance parallel computer architectures within a system-on-a-chip environment. The role requires expertise in high-performance memory subsystems, including dram controller design, PHY architecture, DFI interface, and calibration mechanisms. Additionally, you will collaborate with the performance team to develop simulators, models, and test suites while performing comparison studies and documenting results. You will solve complex problems related to advanced hardware systems and integrated circuit designs.
