Memory Design Engineer

SRAM Memory Design Engineer

Role: Memory Design Engineer – SRAM

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop SRAM memory macros for ASIC/SoC technologies.
• Design and analyze 6T/8T/10T SRAM bitcells, sense amplifiers, write drivers, precharge circuits, decoders, and peripheral circuits.
• Perform schematic design, simulation, characterization, and optimization across PVT corners.
• Analyze SRAM for read stability, write margin, leakage, speed, power, and area.
• Develop and optimize memory architectures for different capacity, performance, and power requirements.
• Work on low-voltage SRAM operation and variation/Monte Carlo analysis.
• Collaborate with layout, circuit verification, PDK, and physical design teams.
• Support memory compiler/macro development, silicon characterization, and debug.
• Perform post-layout simulations and resolve design issues.
• Document design methodology, specifications, simulation results, and silicon correlation.

Typical qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics/VLSI.
• Strong understanding of CMOS transistor-level circuit design.
• Knowledge of SRAM architecture and memory circuits.
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre or equivalent tools.
• Understanding of SPICE simulation, PVT, Monte Carlo, mismatch, and process variation.
• Knowledge of semiconductor fundamentals, timing, power, and signal integrity.
• Familiarity with Linux, scripting (Perl/Python/Tcl), and automation is often useful.
