Asic Design Engineer Jobs in Boise, ID (NOW HIRING)

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.
The Compute Strategy & Pathfinding group focuses on compute architectures and algorithms that define future memory and compute capabilities 3-5 years ahead of product integration. The team works closely with internal engineering groups, external partners, and customers to architect, evaluate, simulate, and design advanced ASIC solutions that shape Micron's long-term technology roadmap.
We are seeking a highly skilled ASIC Architect with strong experience in architecture definition, logic design, synthesis, and system-level evaluation. The ideal candidate will assist with architectural definition from concept through implementation readiness, bridging high-level system modeling with RTL development, physical design considerations, and product transition.
Responsibilities

• Define and evolve ASIC and system architectures, including logic partitioning, module interfaces, and design tradeoffs across performance, power, area, and scalability.
• Write detailed block-level and architectural specifications to guide RTL design, verification, and system simulation activities.
• Oversee logic design and synthesis activities, ensuring alignment with architectural intent and project requirements.
• Contribute to backend synthesis and physical design flows, evaluating the impacts of placement, routing, timing, and power on architectural decisions.
• Perform system-level modeling, validate proof-of-concept designs, and analyze new architectural capabilities to assess feasibility and value.
• Drive evaluation of complete ASIC flows from high-level design through synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and power optimization.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams-including build, verification, CAD, modeling, product engineering, and external vendors-to ensure successful implementation readiness.
• Support the transition of new architectures into product development, contributing to long-term roadmap planning and technology pathfinding.
• Using AI to improve job functions

Minimum Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 12+ years of relevant ASIC architecture and build experience.
• Extensive experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog for architecture exploration, logic design, and RTL definition.
• Strong background in computer architecture, data processing, and system-level design concepts.
• Experience across ASIC design flows, including logic design, synthesis, and interaction with physical design teams.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced ASIC design tools and methodologies, including synthesis, static timing analysis, and power optimization.
• Solid understanding of backend physical design flows and their impact on architectural decisions.
• Familiarity with high-level synthesis (HLS), system modeling, or architectural exploration frameworks.
