Principal Physical Design Architect, HBM

About this role

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. As an HBM Design Architect, you will support the development of advanced analog, mixed‑signal, and digital circuits as well as full‑chip integration for next‑generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products

This role focuses on physical design and layout, including creating optimized floorplans, driving circuit placement and routing strategies, and delivering high‑quality block‑level layouts using advanced process nodes. You will collaborate closely with architecture, circuit build, and layout teams to enable groundbreaking DRAM solutions that push performance, power efficiency, and density for developing HBM technologies. Responsibilities Develop floorplans that optimize circuit placement, routing efficiency, and power delivery networks

Deliver block‑level analog or mixed‑signal layouts using advanced foundry process technologies. Collaborate with HBM architects and circuit designers on floorplanning, placement, routing, and integration strategies. Evaluate timing, area, power, and complexity trade-offs for high‑speed DRAM and mixed‑signal circuits

Support integration of Memory, Logic, and Analog circuits for new HBM product architectures. Ensure alignment with developed rules, manufacturability requirements, and physical verification constraints. Provide design-focused insights to improve circuit robustness, performance, and reliability

Participate in reviews and fixing issues across physical build, parasitic extraction, and full‑chip integration. Qualifications MS degree with 5+ years of memory‑related layout or physical design experience, or BS degree with 7+ years of relevant experience. Expertise with Cadence VLE/VXL and Mentor Graphics Calibre DRC/LVS
