DRAM Senior Design Layout Engineer

As a DRAM Engineering Group (DEG) Layout Designer at Micron Technology, Inc. you will be responsible for translating schematics into layout used for the creation of fabrication reticules. You will be required to meet all engineering and process related criteria needed for an assigned Dram product. You will organize and prioritize logistics and resource allocations to meet scheduled deadlines, and proactively develop methodologies for issue resolution. In this role you will work with Design and other engineering groups to apply multiple layout techniques for the design and verification of digital and analog circuits. You will be expected to understand various circuit design protocols, different fab processes, mask generation techniques, and tapeout processes and procedures. 

Design and Verify All Levels of Analog and Digital Layout 

• Use computer aided design software (i.e. Cadence, Calibre, etc.) 

• Work with Design Engineers to floor plan and design layout 

• Understand and follow verification protocols 

• Apply custom and/or automated layout techniques to design pitch, array, and peripheral layout for digital and analog circuits. 

Develop and Maintain Technical Knowledge 

• Interface with design engineering to understand layout methodology. 

• Possess basic understanding of circuit design. 

• Understand tape out processes and procedures. 

• Apply fab process knowledge, including Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Optical Proximity Correction (OPC). 

Manage and Participate in Project-Based Environment 

• Organize, prioritize, and manage, logistic and resource allocations. 

• Prioritize tasks to attain schedules and deadlines. 

• Proactively develop methodologies to resolve issues. 

• Guide layout designers to encourage professional and technical development. 

Required Experiences and qualifications: 

Bachelor’s degree on Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Biomedical Engineering or similar. It is necessary to have some electrical engineering background and most of those programs have them.
