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.
Our Opportunity Summary:
For more than 43 years, Micron Technology, Inc. has redefined innovation with the world’s most advanced memory and semiconductor technologies. We’re an international team of visionaries and scientists, developing groundbreaking technologies that are transforming how the world uses information to enrich life.
High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is a specialized computer memory interface crafted for 3D-stacked synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM). HBM stacks multiple DRAM chips vertically, resulting in a compact form factor. It provides very wide data channels both within the stack and between the memory and processor. It can deliver high bandwidths needed for cutting-edge applications like ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). HBM incorporates RTL-style logic design, custom high-speed PHY design, analog circuit design, and DFT circuits to deliver advanced HBM products using in-house and external foundry processes.
We are looking for a HBM Power Network Design Engineer. Are you passionate about designing circuits for the next generation of memory that will power groundbreaking AI applications? As an HBM Power Network Design Engineer, you will work in an innovative and dynamic team and will be responsible for crafting and analyzing analog & mixed-signal circuits, Power Distribution Network (PDN) design & evaluation for Interface die and HBM Cube. This includes simulating, optimizing, and floor planning power network, and high-speed signal routing. In this position, you will collaborate with Micron’s worldwide design and verification teams and support the efforts of multi-functional teams such as Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to proactively design HBM products that optimize all manufacturing functions and assure the best performance, power, cost, quality, reliability, time-to-market, and customer happiness.
*This position will be a hybrid role located in either Atlanta, GA – Folsom, CA – Allen, TX
*The seniority level offered will be based on a combination of experience and education.
What’s Encouraged Daily:
Contribute to the development of new HBM products by assisting with the overall design, layout
Interpret product specifications and design circuits to meet the required functionality
Design and develop custom integrated circuits (ICs) with a focus on power network design and analysis for HBM Interface die, DRAM die & HBM cube
Perform detailed analysis of power networks to identify and mitigate potential issues such as IR drop and electro-migration.
Conduct thorough verification of power networks using parasitic models in pre-layout and using TOTEM (static, dynamic) at post-layout to ensure compliance with design specifications and reliability standards.
Apply sophisticated design tools and methodologies to create efficient and reliable IC layouts.
Perform circuit simulations using standard industry simulators such as FINESIM, HSPICE, and VERILOG. Responsible for reliability verification
Assist in design validation, reticle experiments, and required tape-out revisions
Chips in experienced technical knowledge to advance innovative technical solutions
Provides advice and counsel to senior management on significant technical issues
Supervise and lead the layout process
Lead floor-planning process, including placement and routing optimization, with focus on PDN planning, distribution, TSV placement.
Optimize design rules for cost, performance, and functionality
Import layout parasitic information into the circuit simulation environment
Maintain Technical Expertise and Provide Training
Contribute to cross-group communication to work towards standardization and group success
Aid in design documentation and communicating best-known practices to the entire department
Participate in continuing education and competitor analysis
Proactively solicit feedback from Standards, CAD, modeling, and verification groups to ensure the design quality
Drive innovation into the future Memory generations within a dynamic work environment
How To Qualify:
Extensive knowledge of CMOS circuit design, device physics, analog & mixed-signal design techniques, reliability mechanisms, analog layout techniques
Experience with PDN design, and evaluation using tools like TOTEM, RedHawk
Strong technical leadership skills.
