Memory Circuit Design Engineer

Memory Circuit Design Engineer

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: 10–16 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Memory Circuit Design Engineer with strong expertise in transistor-level circuit design, SRAM design, and custom memory development for advanced semiconductor technologies. The ideal candidate will drive circuit design, simulation, characterization, and PPA optimization for high-performance, low-power SoCs.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop SRAM bitcells, sense amplifiers, write drivers, decoders, and memory peripheral circuits.
• Perform transistor-level schematic design, circuit simulation, and optimization for power, performance, and area (PPA).
• Conduct pre-layout and post-layout simulations, including timing, noise, stability, and power analysis.
• Perform PVT corner analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, mismatch analysis, and circuit characterization.
• Collaborate with memory architecture, custom layout, physical design, and silicon validation teams.
• Support parasitic extraction, layout verification, design robustness, and yield optimization.
• Debug circuit-level issues and support silicon bring-up, characterization, and failure analysis.
• Evaluate advanced process nodes and implement innovative circuit techniques for memory performance and power efficiency.

Required Technical Skills

• 10–16 years of hands-on experience in VLSI custom circuit design, with strong exposure to memory circuit design.
• Expertise in SRAM design, memory bitcells, sense amplifiers, and peripheral circuitry.
• Strong understanding of CMOS fundamentals, transistor-level design, device physics, and circuit behavior.
• Proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso and SPICE-based simulation tools such as Spectre or HSPICE.
• Experience in PVT analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, mismatch analysis, and circuit characterization.
• Knowledge of timing optimization, low-power design, signal integrity, and process variation.
• Experience with custom layout collaboration, parasitic extraction, and post-layout verification.
• Understanding of advanced semiconductor process technologies and memory design constraints.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in embedded SRAM, register files, and high-performance SoC memory subsystems.
• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, VLSI Design, or a related discipline.
• Exposure to memory compilers, memory characterization, and silicon validation.
• Knowledge of yield improvement, statistical circuit analysis, and advanced-node design challenges.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
