Staff Engineer, SRAM Circuit Design

The role

You will lead the development of next-generation SRAM solutions. You will drive end-to-end design of high-performance, low-power memory circuits for semiconductor products.

What you will do

• Design and develop SRAM memory arrays including bit cells, sense amplifiers, decoders and control circuits.
• Optimize SRAM designs for performance, power, area and yield.
• Develop custom layouts and perform physical design verifications.
• Evaluate trade-offs between speed, power, and area.
• Develop and improve SRAM design methodologies and automation scripts.
• Work with product and test engineers to develop test plans and support silicon bring-up.
• Mentor Junior engineers.
• Perform extensive circuit simulations using tools like HSPICE, finesim or cadence Spectre.
• Contribute to patents, technical papers, or industry conferences.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with 10+ years of industry experience.
• Prior experience in SRAM or memory circuit design.
• Proven track record of delivering SRAM designs in advanced process nodes.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor devices physics and process technology (FinFET, GAA, SOI, etc.).
• Expertise in SRAM architecture, including bitcells, sense amplifiers, write drivers, and read/write control paths.
• Familiarity with timing analysis, power analysis, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Proficiency in circuit simulation, variation analysis, and design tools such as Spectre, HSPICE, Cadence Virtuoso, etc.
• Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL) for automation of design tasks.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills.
• Experience with advanced technology nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm, or beyond).
• Knowledge of SRAM compiler development.
• Experience with low-power SRAM design techniques (e.g., power gating, voltage scaling).

Nice to have

• master's degree in electrical engineering with 8+ years of experience
