Staff Engineer - HIG HBM - PE Design Validation

In HBM HIG (High Bandwidth Memory, Heterogeneous Integration Group), we innovate and integrate end-to-end groundbreaking front-end and backend processes with groundbreaking design, debugging various tests, and qualification techniques to develop the lowest power per bit solutions to improve customer experience in the field of ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). The success of a sophisticated product such as HBM relies vastly on vertical integration and the various engineering working in unison. To provide greater detail, our HBM technology pertains to stacking numbers of DRAM chips along with a logic chip within one package through an assembly technology called TSV (Through Silicon Via). This greatly increases the memory density in a package, while allowing very high-speed signal transmission. Furthermore, "high bandwidth"; is an outstanding memory design area where custom gate-level design and RTL style logic design are blended into the same product, and most of the DDR or LPDDR design is based on the gate-level design only. Lastly, verification and testing (validation) of HBM is the most ambitious due to the total size of the design and complexity of the functions, and in addition to craft, many innovations are needed for verification and validation of the HBM product, thereby making it uniquely exciting.

Responsibilities:

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Key interface between Design, Manufacturing, Test and Quality internal departments as well as external customers. Internal collaboration with PE teams will be crucial as well.

• Perform Validation Work on Testmodes and Design using simulation, data analysis, and ATE/bench analysis.

• Root Cause Understanding and Resolution of Manufacturing, Test and Quality related issues through hardware and software debugging in the lab, circuit simulations and data analysis.

• Promotion of Innovation and Challenge Status Quo: Having an innovative approach that is open to improving upon any of our procedures or products. This is vital for maintaining Micron’s competitive edge in the market.

• Data Analysis for Validation: Utilizing in-house statistical tools for engineering data analysis for validation and risk assessment provides valuable insights into the performance and reliability of the products.

• Technical Decision Making: The role involves making final decisions on risk analysis and project prioritization. These decisions directly impact the direction of technological development.

• Process Improvement: The role requires identifying system and process improvements and promoting continuous cost reduction and quality improvement efforts. These responsibilities are critical in the tech industry, where efficiency and quality are paramount.

• Understand of JEDEC specifications for HBM and creating internal architecture documentation. And schematic & layout knowledge of our design.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• More than 5 years of relevant experience.

• Strong knowledge of VLSI, semiconductor process, and basic device physics.

• Exposure to Schematic, Simulation, Data Analysis, Lab Debug or Pattern Manipulation.

• Experience with either: Verilog, VHDL, or System Verilog

• Excellent in problem-solving and analytical skills

• Self-motivated and passionate to learn and excel in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to work effectively in team-based projects, contributing to shared goals and outcomes.
