Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Own logic synthesis, optimization, and constraint development for large digital blocks or full SoCs.
  • Translate RTL and architectural intent into timing‑clean, area‑efficient, and low‑power gate‑level netlists.
  • Develop and maintain SDC constraints including clocks, generated clocks, CDC paths, false paths, and multicycle paths.
  • Perform QoR analysis (timing, area, power) and drive improvements across synthesis iterations.
  • Drive pre‑ and post‑synthesis timing closure across all modes and PVT corners.
  • Optimize designs for power (UPF/CPF), area, and performance using advanced synthesis techniques.
  • Analyze and fix timing violations, congestion issues, and synthesis‑related ECOs.
  • Support power‑aware synthesis, clock gating, and multi‑voltage designs.
  • Work closely with RTL designers to improve code quality, synthesizability, and performance.
  • Collaborate with physical design teams on floorplanning assumptions, timing budgets, and handoff readiness.
  • Partner with DFT teams to ensure scan, test, and synthesis flows are aligned.
  • Support formal equivalence checking (LEC) between RTL and synthesized netlists.
  • Deliver synthesis‑clean netlists ready for place and route.
  • Support ECO flows, metal‑only fixes, and late‑stage timing updates.
  • Participate in tape‑out reviews, ensuring synthesis assumptions and constraints are correct and complete.

HOW TO QUALIFY

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 8+ years of hands‑on experience in digital synthesis and timing closure.
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Digital logic design and micro‑architecture
    • Static Timing Analysis (STA)
    • Low‑power design techniques and power intent formats
    • ASIC/SoC design flows from RTL to GDS
  • Proven ability to independently own synthesis for complex blocks or full chips.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with high‑performance or low‑power SoCs.
  • Understanding of physical synthesis and congestion‑aware optimization.
  • Knowledge of clocking architectures and CDC/RDC considerations.
  • Scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl to automate synthesis flows.
