The Senior Manager of Memory CAD Guadalajara is a technical leadership role within the Engineering Automation (EA) organization at Micron. The EA organization delivers DTK (Design Technology Kit) collateral, environments, tools and flows for the design, implementation, verification, and tape out of custom memory designs. These CAD tools and collateral enable DRAM, NAND, and other emerging memory designs on a range of industry-leading Micron-developed process nodes.  

Responsibilities: 
Lead the day-to-day support of CAD tools, flows and collateral provided by functionally organized CAD teams worldwide to DRAM design teams at the Guadalajara DEG Design Center. The tools and flows enable all aspects of mixed-signal, transistor-level custom IC design including logical design, custom layout, parameterized cells, automated place and route tools, physical design verification (LVS, DRC), ERC, Layout Parasitic Extraction, pre and post layout netlisting and simulation, digital and analog circuit simulation, timing and power analysis, reliability simulation and analysis (including HCI, BTI, EM/IR), tape out and mask generation.  

Drive close collaboration with DRAM design, layout, and verification methodology teams to propose and co-develop capabilities outstanding or under supported by EDA vendors and deploy best in class practices and methodologies consistently to DRAM designs worldwide.  

Drive research and development at the intersection of IC Design Automation and Machine Learning to envision, scope, develop and deliver solutions benefiting IC design. 

Establish and grow university relationships in the local and regional Guadalajara area to foster partnered research and development in design automation tools with an emphasis on data science and machine learning applications to EDA. 

Qualifications: 

The ideal candidate has the following qualifications: 

- Bachelor or preferably Masters/PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering 

- (15-20) + years of direct CAD or Design experience in mixed-signal, custom IC design flows 

- Experience leading highly technical IC Design or CAD teams distributed worldwide 

- Familiarity with memory design preferred (DDR3/4/5, LP3/4/5, HBM, NAND)

• CMOS transistor level design, logical design and netlisting 
• CMOS digital and analog layout, Cadence Skill, and parameterized cells 
• Automated place and route tools 
• LVS, DRC, LPE flows 
• ERC flows, static and dynamic circuit checks 
• Circuit simulation including nanometer scale MOS and interconnect effects 
• Digital simulation and verification flows (System Verilog/UVM test benches and coverage systems) 
• Power delivery network simulation and analysis 
• Reliability flows such as HCI, BTI, EM/IR, crosstalk 
• Mask generation and tape out basics 

- Knowledge and experience vetting and deploying sophisticated EDA software flows 

• Experience qualifying vendor tools and internally developed software releases 
• Experience developing software prototypes for innovative ideas in IC design, layout, and analysis 
• Experience running agile (software) sprints is a plus 

- Data Science and ML 

• Experience with Machine Learning algorithms and applications 
• Experience and record of accomplishment delivering production-grade ML applications in IC Design (one or more areas including custom design, layout, logic and timing verification, circuit simulation and physical design verification) 
• Comfortable directing and leading risky/uncertain innovative ML development 

- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills are required 

- Strive to continuously learn, develop new skills, and self-improve
