SMTS Physical 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. Micron's Interface Pathfinding team operates at the leading edge of that mission — driving performance-scaling innovation across circuits, signaling, packaging, and interconnects with a 3–5 year technology horizon

As the Physical Design Engineer, you will own the complete back-end implementation of a high-speed interface chip program — from synthesis netlist through GDSII tape-out. This is a full-flow PD role on a small, senior team spanning analog design, layout, silicon characterization, digital design, and verification — united around the goal of carrying high-speed interface innovations from architecture to tape-out. You will be the primary PD voice, working closely with the Chip Lead on timing and constraints, with the analog team on mixed-signal floorplanning considerations, and with the verification team on DFT and scan implementation

The program includes contractor support that will grow as the program scales, but the expectation is that you can drive implementation decisions independently, leverage available resources effectively, and know when to engage the broader team. The ideal candidate brings not just technical depth but creative problem-solving ability — the capacity to find non-obvious paths to closure when standard approaches don't apply cleanly to a mixed-signal PHY environment. This is a foundational hire for a growing program, and strong execution early is expected to lead to follow-on projects of increasing scope, team size, and PD complexity

Responsibilities Floorplanning: Define and implement full chip floorplans in close collaboration with the analog design team — including custom analog block placement, analog/digital partitioning, I/O ring
