TL;DR · Senior System Integration Engineer, Memory

Senior System Integration Engineer, Memory joins the ArchDev team to own HBM and LPDDR integration in sophisticated SoCs. This role covers the full stack, including silicon, package, embedded software, testing, and product development. You will drive system integration, bringup, characterization, and debug for next-generation SoCs while ensuring memory performance, power management, thermal, and reliability closure across firmware and hardware. Key responsibilities include leading post-silicon margining, VF shmoo, eye, and correlation work to establish the characterization foundation for product decisions. You will resolve complex issues involving training, calibration, SI/PI, and system-level stability at the intersection of electrical, physical, and software behaviors. The role requires expertise in HBM, LPDDR, PHY controller development, and JEDEC margins. You will solve critical memory challenges to ensure products meet performance targets within high-power density environments.

What you'll do

  • Drive HBM and LPDDR system integration, bringup, characterization, and debug for next-generation SoCs from first silicon to production.
  • Own memory performance, power management, thermal, and reliability closure across silicon, package, board, and firmware layers.
  • Lead post-silicon margining, VF shmoo, eye, and correlation work across voltage, temperature, and frequency.
  • Resolve complex memory training, calibration, SI/PI, and system-level stability issues at the intersection of electrical and software behaviors.
  • Define validation, characterization, and issue-tracking plans to ensure accurate data collection and resolution for chip programs.
  • Utilize LLM-assisted tools and ML models to perform pattern-matching for failure signatures and root cause analysis.
  • Automate data collection, test sequencing, and results analysis across characterization programs to reduce cycle times.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in EE/CE or equivalent experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in HBM, LPDDR, or high-speed memory systems.
  • Hands-on depth in silicon bringup, characterization, and debug at scale.
  • Deep command of SI/PI, timing, margining, and memory training behavior.
  • PHY controller development experience (preferred).
  • Familiarity with HBM PHY and controller architecture (preferred).
  • Experience with HBM3/HBM3E specifics, JEDEC margins, thermal-electrical co-sim, ECC methodology, and power management (preferred).
  • Ability to use LLM-assisted tools and ML models for debug, root cause analysis, and architecture exploration (preferred).
