Interested in changing the landscape of artificial intelligence workloads? Join our team where we are building next-generation, high-performance memory solutions for AI. In Micron's AI-optimized Memory Architecture organization, we partner closely with customers to design and deliver memory solutions purpose-built for emerging AI systems and applications!
As a Senior Member of Technical Staff in the AI-optimized Architecture team, you will drive the definition of SoC microarchitecture of tightly coupled, high-performance memory for AI workloads. Apply expert knowledge to analyze micro architectural SoC trade-offs in close collaboration with peer architecture, design, and packaging teams. Drive microarchitecture and early SoC design activities, including definition of IP interfaces (e.g., signals, power delivery), clocking, power sequencing, design-for-test, floorplanning, and specification development.
Responsibilities:

• Define SoC microarchitecture, including clocking architectures, power sequencing, power delivery, and signal interfaces.
• Own and drive estimates of and optimizations for full-chip timing, area, performance, power, and energy.
• Define and analyze on-die power delivery networks (PDN), including IR drop budgets and power grid topologies.
• Analyze full-chip thermal implications, including power hotspot identification and mitigation.
• Define DFT architectures (e.g., scan chain topology), and set verification requirements.
• Define SoC floorplans in collaboration with physical designers.
• Compose and maintain clear SoC microarchitecture documentation.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong foundation in analog and digital circuit design, applied to IP interface requirements, power delivery behavior, and clocking constraints.
• Experience with RTL design with experience developing and maintaining microarchitecture specifications.
• Familiarity with chip-level thermal analysis and power hotspot mitigation strategies.
• Strong experience reasoning about finite state machines, interconnects, and frequency vs. energy/power tradeoffs.
• Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis, and relevant EDA toolsets: Prime Power, Prime Shield, Redhawk, and ICC2.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience with advanced packaging building blocks and techniques
• Experience with high performance and efficiency stacked architectures.
• Ability to influence decisions through data-driven analysis and clear communication.
• A Masters or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of proven industry experience delivering silicon-demonstrated SoC hardware designs.
