You will work closely with RTL design, verification, DFT, IP providers, packaging/assembly, and manufacturing teams to deliver best-in-class PPA (performance, power, area) and robust signoff collateral for tape-out. This is a hands-on role with opportunities to own blocks or top-level integration across multiple product generations. You will also work on efforts to enable and integrate AI-driven tools and AI-enabled workflows into the team's methodologies.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn physical implementation for SoC blocks and/or top-level, including floor-planning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization to meet PPA targets.\nDrive timing closure (setup/hold) across multi-mode/multi-corner (MMMC) scenarios; partner with RTL, architecture, and STA/signoff to converge designs.\nIntegrate and implement complex IP (e.g., controllers, microcontrollers, NOC, interfaces, MBIST/DFT logic, buffers, PHY-adjacent logic) with focus on robust physical integration and timing/power integrity.\nPerform and/or coordinate physical signoff, including DRC/LVS, IR drop/EM, and timing signoff, addressing violations efficiently.\nPartner with DFT teams to ensure scan/MBIST requirements are physically realizable and do not compromise PPA or schedule.\nWork with packaging, assembly, test, probe, and manufacturing collaborators to ensure builds meet manufacturability and quality requirements.\nSupport tape-out execution (checklists, ECO flows, signoff reviews) and contribute to post-silicon debug by correlating silicon behavior with PD/STA/power analysis.\nIdentify flow gaps and improve productivity through scripting/automation and best-practice methodology development.\nRequired Qualifications\nStrong experience in SoC physical design implementation from netlist to GDSII on advanced nodes and complex designs.\nProficiency with industry EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus/Tempus, Synopsys ICC2/PrimeTime, Siemens Calibre or equivalent).\nSolid understanding of STA fundamentals, clocking, constraints (SDC), and common closure techniques (buffering, path shaping, useful skew, etc.).\nExperience with power intent and power delivery considerations (e.g., UPF/CPF concepts, power grid planning, power gating implications).\nFamiliarity with physical verification/signoff concepts: DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction awareness, and signoff handoff quality.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with HBM / DRAM adjacent SoC designs, or memory-subsystem-heavy SoCs.\nBachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\nMinimum 3 years of experience in a related field.\nProven ability to mentor and develop engineers early in their careers.\nGood understanding of Agentic AI or willingness to learn Agentic AI to help develop efficient workflow.\n\nThe US base salary range that Micron Technology estimates it could pay for this full-time position is:\n$103,000.00 - $210,000.00 a yearAdditional compensation may include benefits, bonuses and equity.\nOur salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
