Principal Engineer, VLSI Design Engineering

Job Description

• Design, optimize, verify, and debug transistor-level circuit, CORE (ROW/COL) for emerging 3D non-volatile memory
• Design and conduct analysis on memory core circuits such as Row/Column drivers, decoder, sense amplifier, etc.
• Perform mixed/analog design to implement core operation supporting circuit design which is the interface circuit for core operation.
• Validate design performance and functionalities by running block and chip level simulations using industry standard integrated circuit (IC) tools such as Cadence design environment, HSPICE/FINESIM, UNIX.
• Supervise layout work, support verification, and silicon bring up throughout design cycle.
• Conceive new concepts and approaches in memory core design, architecture, and operation algorithm for best performing NAND device.

Qualifications

REQUIRED:

• Requires BS/MS degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with 7 or more years of relevant experience.
• Knowledge and/or experience in non-volatile memory design (NAND flash memory cell operation in particular) is a big advantage
• A strong device background and experience with evaluating new process technologies for use in design is preferred.

Skills

• The ideal candidate must have proven ability to achieve results in a fast moving, dynamic environment
• Self-motivated and self-directed, however, must have demonstrated ability to work well with people
• A proven desire to work as a team member, both on the same team and outside of the team
• Ability to troubleshoot and analyze complex problems.
• Ability to multi-task and meet deadlines.
