Principal Engineer - Signal Integrity

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.

Micron’s Signal Integrity Research and Development (SI R&D) group develops various memory products, including DRAM, LPDRAM, NAND, NOR, 3DXP, DIMM modules, and ASICs for managed memory and SSDs. We focus on end-to-end system solutions to ensure efficient Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) performance. We will contribute to future specification development within industry standards groups like JEDEC, ONFI, and IBIS. The working environment is technically exciting, team-oriented, and customer-centric.

As a Staff Engineer in Signal Integrity, you will own the design and analysis of high-speed memory interfaces and power distribution networks (PDN) A few sentences about the position here.

Within the larger SI R&D group, as a Principal Signal Integrity Engineer at Micron, you will be responsible for:

• Leading the design and analysis of high speed (HS) memory interfaces and power distribution networks (PDN).
• Leading out in SI/PI development across a broad range of Micron’s portfolio to ensure product electrical performance through modeling, simulation, analysis, and correlation to measurement for the various products.
• Representing the SI R&D team in technical cross-functional collaborative groups, and integrating with package design, silicon design, system design, product engineering, and marketing departments to ensure overall product performance.
• Driving and development of SI/PI aspects of future standards (including but not limited to JEDEC, ONFI, and IBIS) through system and product electrical capability exploration.
• Supporting external customer as needed
• Developing methodologies and processes for SI/PI analysis
• Supporting (and in some cases driving) path-finding activities for IO and channel innovation to enable next generation of memory technologies at higher speeds and densities.

Qualifications

• Engineering bachelor's degree with a minimum of 8 years relevant industry experience, or equivalent degrees such as Master's or PhD.
• Experience in Signal and Power Integrity Background, particularly in areas that affect I/O circuit signaling performance, PMICs, current workloads, PI performance & optimization and Experience with equalization schemes for IO circuits.
• Required courses covering electromagnetic, transmission line and RF theory, analog design or similar fields of study or experience.
• Experience with, and working knowledge of E.M. field solvers (quasi-static and full wave), time and frequency domain simulation tools like Q3D, SIWAVE, HFSS, POWERSI, CLARITY, HSPICE, ADS, etc.
• Deep understanding of electromagnetic and transmission line theory, general I/O design, signal integrity, differential and single-ended interface technologies.
• Deep understanding of timing budgets and jitter analysis.
• Expertise in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout or electrical package design techniques.
• Experience in design and analysis of high-speed single-ended or differential buses.
• Familiarity with, and fundamental understanding of lab measurement equipment like Oscilloscopes, TDR, Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), etc.
• Familiarity with peak distortion analysis, statistical analysis (DOE) and equivalent tools (example: JMP) is also beneficial.
• Memory industry experience is desired.
• Ambitious candidate should enjoy leading and taking ownership of assigned projects, exhibit good written and verbal interpersonal skills, and have the ability to work well in a team with varied strengths.
• Understanding of AI/ML is desired.
