What is a SRAM Design job?

An SRAM Design job involves designing and optimizing Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) circuits for use in semiconductor devices. Engineers in this role work on transistor-level circuit design, layout, and verification to ensure high performance, low power consumption, and reliability. They collaborate with process engineers, digital designers, and verification teams to meet product specifications. Strong knowledge of CMOS technology, memory architecture, and simulation tools is essential for success in this field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Sram Design position, and why are they important?

To thrive in SRAM Design, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, semiconductor physics, and digital circuit design, often holding at least a bachelor's or master's degree in a related field. Familiarity with EDA tools like Cadence or Synopsys, experience with SPICE simulations, and understanding of process design kits (PDKs) are typically essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are important soft skills in this role. These skills are critical for developing reliable, efficient memory circuits and ensuring successful collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.

What are some common challenges faced in SRAM Design roles?

Professionals in SRAM Design often encounter challenges such as meeting aggressive power, performance, and area (PPA) targets while ensuring circuit reliability across various process corners and conditions. Debugging and optimizing circuits to avoid issues like data retention failures or access time violations are frequent aspects of the job. Additionally, collaborating with layout, verification, and product engineering teams requires strong communication and organizational skills. Embracing these challenges can lead to significant technical growth and open pathways for advancement into lead or architect roles in the future.

Job description

Please Note:

To provide the best candidate experience amidst our high application volumes, each candidate is limited to 10 applications across all open jobs within a 6-month period.

Advancing the World's Technology Together

Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you'll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what's possible and powering the future.

We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We're dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we're building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities.

What You'll Do

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Staff Engineer, SRAM Layout to lead the development of next-generation SRAM solutions.

  • Lead the development and execution of full-custom SRAM memory layout and sign-off verification flows (including compiler automation where applicable).
  • Collaborate closely with circuit designers to translate schematics into efficient, high-performance physical layouts, own floor planning, placement, routing, and tape-out.
  • Design and optimize SRAM layouts at the cell, array, and peripheral levels for area, speed, power, yield, and manufacturability.
  • Perform and close all physical verification; DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna checks, custom memory rules, RC extraction, parasitic analysis, and signal integrity verification.
  • Debug and resolve layout issues efficiently, including process-specific challenges in advanced nodes.
  • Lead layout reviews, mentor junior engineers, and drive best practices, optimization techniques, design-rule compliance, and knowledge sharing.
  • Develop automation scripts (Perl, Tcl, SKILL, etc.) to improve productivity.
  • Address reliability concerns such as EM/IR drop, soft errors, and process variability.
  • Work cross-functionally with circuit, architecture, verification, and foundry/process teams to ensure first-pass silicon success and support product integration

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of experience in custom SRAM, memory compiler and IC physical layout design or master's degree 8+ years of experience strongly preferred.
  • 3 year's experience in leadership of management role preferred.
  • Extensive experience in SRAM layout design in advanced process nodes (e.g., 3nm, 2nm, or below).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and manage a team of layout engineers.
  • Strong project management skills to handle complex schedules and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Strong proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools:
  • Candence Virtuoso (or Custom Compiler/IC Compiler) for custom/analog layout.
  • Physical verification tools for DRC/LVS/ERC flows.
  • Perform and close all physical verification; DRC, LVS, ERC, antenna checks, custom memory rules, RC extraction, parasitic analysis, and signal integrity verification.
  • Experience with RC extraction, parasitic reduction, and memory-specific verification.
  • Scripting/automation skills (Perl, Tcl, SKILL, etc.) are highly valued.
  • Proven ability to drive layout quality, constraints, and closure while collaborating in global, cross -functional teams.
  • Prior work on high-speed, low-power SRAM in leading-edge nodes preferred.
  • Mentoring or technical leadership experience preferred.
  • Understanding of SRAM architecture, timing, power analysis, and yield optimization preferred.
  • You're inclusive, adapting your style to the situation and diverse global norms of our people.
  • An avid learner, you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience, seeking data to help build understanding.
  • You're collaborative, building relationships, humbly offering support and openly welcoming approaches.
