Job Summary

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.

You will lead the physical implementation of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products that power artificial intelligence (AI) highperformance computing (HPC) and data center shape physical architecture and execution from early design through tapeout with a direct impact on firstpass silicon success.
This role offers broad technical ownership multi-functional influence and visibility at the most advanced process and packaging nodes.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

Lead endtoend physical design for HBM base and memory dies from netlist through GDSII (Graphic Data System II) including floorplanning power planning placement clock tree synthesis routing and signoff.
Define and drive HBMspecific physical architecture including channel partitioning physical layer (PHY) placement throughsilicon via (TSV) keepout regions and dietopackage codesign alignment.
Optimize bandwidth latency power and yield by partnering closely with memory architecture PHY registertransfer level (RTL) synthesis designfortest (DFT) and packaging teams.
Design and validate the power delivery network ensuring current integrity electromigration (EM) and thermal closure across all operating modes.
Drive timing closure across corners for highspeed logic and HBM interfaces addressing signal integrity noise and crosstalk.
Ensure physical signoff readiness including static timing analysis power integrity signal integrity design rule checks layout versus schematic density and reliability compliance.
Lead engineering change order strategies improve flows and automation and contribute to scalable HBM physical design methodologies.
Mentor engineers and represent physical design in tapeout reviews and executivelevel technical discussions.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field or an equivalent level of experience.
12 years of handson experience in advancednode physical design with proven tapeout success on HBM dynamic randomaccess memory (DRAM) or large memorycentric designs.
Deep expertise in hierarchical physical design timing closure static timing analysis power integrity thermal analysis and physical signoff.
Expertlevel experience with Cadence Innovus and/or Synopsys IC Compiler II (ICC2) or Fusion Compiler plus power integrity tools such as Voltus or RedHawk.
Experience with foundry signoff flows including design rule checking and layout versus schematic verification.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with HBM2E HBM3 or HBM3E products and TSVbased designs including microbump layouts.
Exposure to dietodie interfaces wide parallel buses and advanced packaging approaches such as 2.5D interposers and chipletbased designs.
Background in signal integrity considerations for dense highspeed memory systems.
Strong scripting skills using Tcl or Python to automate and scale physical design flows.
Experience supporting systemlevel integration with graphics processing units accelerators or systemonchip designs.
