About the position

The Senior NVM Memory Analog IC Design Engineer will be responsible for designing innovative memory products within a growing semiconductor company. This role involves working closely with the design team to create multiple analog circuit building blocks and optimizing memory array architectures. The position is hybrid-remote, requiring two days in the office and three days from home, and offers a competitive compensation package including base salary, profit sharing, and stock options.

Responsibilities

• Design of multiple analog circuit building blocks from scratch, such as sense amplifiers, write and wordline drivers, charge pumps, bandgaps, op-amps, voltage regulators, IO drivers & receivers, oscillators, power supply detectors, and current distribution networks
• Supervise layout for mixed signal analog layout best practices to achieve compact area
• Explore and develop memory array architecture options, optimizing for IDD, area, and speed
• Interact with Device engineering for bitcell design and new read/write circuit concepts
• Work with product and test engineers for test plan and reviewing lab test results to drive bug fixes and yield improvement
• Run design verification flows (e.g., fast-spice, electromigration, IR drop, aging, etc.) to verify design is ready for tape-out
• Document design simulation and verification towards formal design reviews
• Support layout designers and drive final layout through post-layout and top-level simulations to validate top-level integration

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or Physics or similar field
• Minimum 4-7+ years of experience in any Non-Volatile (NVM) memory circuit design, such as EEPROM, EPROM, Flash, ROM, SSD, NOR flash memory chips or other NVM Memory IC designs
• Experience with the design of Non-volatile memory IC's (NVM) is required
• Proven track record of working Silicon in production
• Deep understanding of transistor operation, device physics, analog/mixed-signal design
• Techniques and trade-offs as applied to memory and mixed-signal IC design
• Knowledge of memory interface protocols, such as SPI and DDR is preferred
• Experience with CMOS and/or FinFET would be ideal
• Strong communication skill and a team player
• Commitment to core values of Leadership, Innovation, Communication, Persistence, Enthusiasm, and Respect

Nice-to-haves

• Knowledge of memory interface protocols, such as SPI and DDR is preferred
• Experience with CMOS and/or FinFET would be ideal
