About This Role
- Design Engineer / Staff Design Engineer in the NVE Design Engineering Analog Design Group at Micron Technology, Inc., you will contribute to the development of memory products that are best-in-class, using your specialized knowledge and Micron proprietary methods of designing and analyzing core and mixed circuits used in the development of memory products.
- Responsibilities Design, simulate, optimize, and floor‑plan NAND circuit blocks.
- Evaluate design feasibility and analyze circuit functionality across use cases.
- Implement analog and mixed‑signal circuit designs that meet performance and reliability specifications.
- Validate design performance at block‑ and chip‑level using industry‑standard simulation tools.
- Continuously improve NAND die size, performance, power consumption, reliability, quality, cost, and time-to-market , including collaborating in a multi-functional, multi-time zone working environment.
- Build and maintain Python‑based AI utilities that collaborate with EDA tools to accelerate development workflows (e.g., environment setup, corner execution, regressions, automated documentation, predictive build/layout).
- Review existing user documentation and generate new build collateral.
- Collaborate with groups such as Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to ensure optimized manufacturability, cost, reliability, and time‑to‑market.
- Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is first and foremost a strong analog and mixed-signal designer who can independently solve complex circuit problems.
- In addition, the candidate is curious about AI, comfortable writing code, and motivated to convert engineering pain points into practical agent-based flows.
- The candidate should balance experimentation with disciplined validation, ensuring that AI augments engineering judgment rather than replacing technical review.
Requirements
- MS/PhD or equivalent experience preferred, BS in electrical engineering required. 2+ (Sr) or 4+ (Staff) years of NAND design relevant industry experience required.
- A high level of self-motivation.
- Proficiency in analog/mixed signal circuit design (charge pumps, op amps, DACs, ADCs, linear regulators, oscillators, bandgaps) Good fundamentals in semiconductor and device physics and analog/mixed-signal circuit design.
- An understanding of semiconductor reliability issues including CHC, NBTI, stress, and snapback, as well as Electromigration (EM) and IR analysis.
- Strong circuit debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Experience of circuit verification and optimization, layout planning, parasitic extractions of the circuits, experience guiding layout.
- Familiarity with tool-calling, retrieval, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop review for reliable engineering AI applications.
- Excellent teamwork attitude.
- Good verbal communication skills (English) and ability to convey complex technical concepts in verbal and written form.
Nice to Have
- Knowledge of analog and digital simulators such as HSPICE, Fast SPICE, and Verilog Familiarity with Cadence design, LVS/DRC tools (a plus).
- Experience with a scripting language.
- Familiarity with Linux/UNIX We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
- Please contact us to request accommodation.
- Micron is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
