TL;DR · SRAM Circuit Design Engineer

SRAM Circuit Design Engineer As part of the Digital Custom Group, the SRAM Circuit Design Engineer will design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM designs within a high-performance silicon environment. This role involves collaborating with logic and architecture teams to formulate specifications, defining topologies optimized for power, timing, area, and yield. Day-to-day responsibilities include schematic capture, simulation, margin verification, RTL writing, and backend verification including IR/EM analysis. The engineer will also work with layout teams to create optimal GDS and support post-silicon efforts. Required skills include experience in SoC design cycles for low power and high performance, knowledge of memory hierarchy, and understanding of nanometer device physics. Candidates should be proficient in RTL modeling and industry-standard tools, with additional expertise in machine learning algorithms and scripting to solve complex problems in CPU, GPU, and SoC designs.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement custom digital circuits specifically for SRAM design.
  • Define architecture and topologies optimized for power, timing, area, and yield.
  • Perform schematic capture, simulations, analysis, and margin verifications.
  • Model functional equivalency and Design for Test (DFT) requirements.
  • Collaborate with layout teams to create and verify optimal GDS files.
  • Conduct backend verification including IR and EM analysis.
  • Write RTL code and validate use-cases against design schematics.
  • Support post-silicon efforts to ensure successful productization.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in SoC design cycles, specifically developing circuits and SRAM/Register Files for low power and high performance.
  • Knowledge of cache design, architecture, and memory hierarchy.
  • Working knowledge of RTL modeling.
  • Solid understanding of industry-standard design tools.
  • Deep understanding of nanometer device physics, leakage mechanisms, and technology interactions with device behavior.
  • Proficiency in Machine Learning algorithms and scripting.
