Requirements

  • BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of experience in memory subsystem architecture, design, and validation, with a strong focus on system-level features that optimize memory power for perf-per-watt efficiency in datacenter or high-perf systems
  • Strong fundamentals in EE, digital/analog design, signal integrity, low power design, memory power management techniques, timing analysis, and architecture
  • Deep understanding of how system-level memory interacts with different IPs and SW/FW, including their impact on power, latency, and reliability
  • Experience with control systems, boot/reset flows, and memory controller micro-architecture
  • Validated hands-on lab experience with silicon bringup, lab debug, and lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers)
  • Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills
  • Experience with Python, Perl, C/C++, Windows, and Linux is a plus
  • Prior experience in the lab with system-level post-silicon bring-up and debug is highly desired

Responsibilities

  • Build roadmaps of memory system-level features to address low power, low noise, perf/watt efficient, and stable/reliable product needs by doing prototyping, use case analysis, and system-level cost/benefit tradeoff
  • Architect, design, and integrate memory system-level features, controllers, and policies - including binning, pairing, and adaptive control techniques based on the roadmap to optimize product performance, power, and reliability/stability
  • Collaborate with architecture, ASIC, board/platform design, software/firmware, marketing, and other multi-functional teams to drive architecture, design, and debug
  • Expand power improvement initiatives to cover various products and market segments, including high-demand environments such as data centers. Drive scalable, power-efficient, and reliable memory system solutions across diverse platforms
  • Keep track of the latest industry direction, market needs, and technology development; incorporate them into future roadmaps to build more competitive products
  • Lead debug, craft WARs, and support bringup, validation, manufacturing, and customer issues on relevant features
