Staff/Principal Engineer, Design Enablement

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 include but are not limited to the following:

Do you want to be a part of an inclusive team

• Coordinate the work of engineers from multiple groups and across several geographies to develop Design Rules, Requirements, Test Structures and improve process margin for all DRAM generations from early development until manufacturing ceases
• Handle effort to build and evaluate test structures to provide data for next generation devices and to quantify process margin on current devices
• Define sub-milestones for the project within the layout schedule and work with the various teams to achieve the targets and time-lines
• Pro-actively identify and address process issues and process window vs. die size issues stemming from specific database layout or layout techniques
• Partner with Design, Product Engineering, Process integration, Business Units and Quality groups to optimize PPAC (Performance, Power, Area, Cost) for all Micron DRAM products
• Assure that the right DRC’s (Design Rule Checks) are in place, assure appropriate reaction to deviation from established design rules
• Strategically partner with multiple teams and fields to understand process issues related to the database layout, and prioritize development of solutions with Process Integration, Advanced Mask Design, Scribe & Frame, Layout & Design
• Summarize sophisticated problems, derive and explain actions taken to address them
• Drive effective multi-functional communication on issue resolution, and support across node Design Rule alignment
• Maintain and implement meaningful communication between Process Integration, Product Engineering, Design, and Advanced Mask teams
• Improve timely documentation of the R&D activities with regard to design rule improvements for transfer to parts still in design

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics or related field
• Senior level (7+ years) experience in the semiconductor industry in the areas of Process Integration, Yield Enhancement, Product Engineering, Device Characterization, Spice/Compact Modeling
• Experience in the areas of BEOL process integration OR interconnect process integration is highly desired
• Proven grasp and exposure to design & layout with the ability to do minor layout, work with Pcells is desired
• Experience with Test Structure Design and characterization
• Success in resolving sophisticated issues
• Think and communicate clearly in urgent and stressful situations
• Possess a deep understanding of the DRAM process flow, as well as the function and purpose of major DRAM components, such as Sense Amp, Word-line driver, and Anti-Fuse
• Exposure and familiarity with CAD group interactions, data post-processing, and the process of transferring data from the database to the reticle
