Job Description:
- Designs, develops, and builds digital circuits for custom blocks including SRAM, register files, memory compilers, and caches.
- Designs floorplans, performs circuit design, schematic entry, simulation for major blocks, and verifies functionality to optimize custom circuit for power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals.
- Creates block level DFT models, develops memory test tools, and improves and automates flows and methodologies to ensure streamlining of design.
- Collaborates cross functionally to report design progress and to collect, track, and resolve any performance and memory circuit design issues.
- Optimizes performance, power, and area, reduce leakage of circuits, and drive characterization of individual memory instances and memory compilers.
- Works with architecture and layout teams to design circuit for best functionality, robustness, and electrical capabilities.
