Semiconductor Principal Design Engineer

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. Position Overview The Principal Design Engineer in Micron’s NVEG organization, you will be at the forefront of shaping the future of memory technology

In this role, you will lead the development, layout, and optimization of cutting-edge datapath circuits for next-generation NAND flash memory. You will act as a key technical leader, driving task forces and making strategic architectural decisions to achieve critical design targets such as unprecedented data rates and lower power consumption. By evaluating the trade-offs of emerging architectures, you will direct end-to-end implementation—from design planning and layout to silicon validation—ensuring project milestones are met while mentoring the next generation of engineering talent

Responsibilities Technical Ownership: Manage, design, and verify major IO/datapath blocks (e.g., input receiver, serializer, deserializer, clock distribution, equalizer, ZQ calibration, ONFI training features, and wave pipelines) to strictly meet performance specifications. Layout & Optimization: Model layout parasitics and optimize signal quality. Conduct regular layout reviews to identify and execute on opportunities for area reduction and power efficiency improvements

Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate closely with project integration and other functional design teams to define and negotiate specifications for major block interfaces. Silicon Bring-up & Yield: Partner with Product Engineering (PE) to define silicon experiments, drive silicon debugging, and propose architectural fixes to improve yield and performance. Customer & Systems Alignment: Liaise with Applications Engineering (Apps) to evaluate the feasibility of introducin
