TL;DR · SRAM Design Engineer

The SRAM Design Engineer joins the Digital IP group to develop sophisticated SRAM compilers used extensively by internal SOC design partners. In this role, you will perform transistor-level circuit design, supervise layout implementation, and manage physical and logical verification for SRAM macros. You will also code efficient methods to automate the simultaneous assembly and validation of unique macros using compute resources. Key responsibilities include exploring future process nodes to optimize power, performance, and area characteristics while guiding silicon test and productization efforts. Required skills include a BSEE or equivalent, with an MSEE or PhD and two years of professional experience in SRAM design. You must be proficient with Cadence Virtuoso schematic and layout capture tools and demonstrate the ability to use AI coding and analysis tools like Codex and Claude Code.

What you'll do

  • Perform transistor-level circuit design for embedded SRAM macros.
  • Supervise layout implementation, physical and logical verification, and debug of SRAM macros.
  • Code automated systems for the simultaneous assembly and validation of multiple unique SRAM macros.
  • Explore future process nodes to develop techniques for optimal power, performance, and area.
  • Guide SOC design partners in achieving specific performance and cost goals.
  • Lead silicon test and characterization efforts for new hardware.
  • Prepare new silicon for real-world application requirements with productization teams.

What we're looking for

  • BSEE minimum (or equivalent experience).
  • MSEE or PhD with 2+ years of professional experience in SRAM design.
  • Familiarity with Cadence Virtuoso schematic and layout capture tools.
  • Willingness and ability to use AI effectively in day-to-day tasks.
  • Self-motivation, attention to detail, and good written, verbal, and presentation skills (preferred).
  • Skills in AI coding and analysis tools such as Codex and Claude Code (preferred).
  • Silicon testing and debugging experience (preferred).
