Principal Design Engineer

Req ID: JR105867 Principal Design Engineer 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. What’s Encouraged Daily: * AI-First Engineering: Deploy AI tools (LLMs, code/RTL generation, spec parsing, waveform interpretation, layout engines) as default practice. Continuously identify automation opportunities and rearchitect workflows—specs, simulations, reviews, hand-offs—to be AI-consumable. Build prompt libraries, agents, and scripts that eliminate recurring manual patterns! * AI Leadership: Champion AI adoption by evaluating emerging tools, running pilots, and publishing standard methodologies that measurably reduce cycle time or prove quality! * Technical Ownership: Design and verify major IO/datapath blocks (receivers, serializer, clock distribution, equalizers, ZQ calibration, ONFI training, wave pipelines) to meet performance specs, using AI to accelerate exploration, sizing, and verification. * Multi-functional Collaboration: Work with integration, design, and Apps teams to define interfaces and evaluate new specifications. Use AI to summarize discussions, reconcile specs, and quantify trade-offs. * Mentorship: Document AI-augmented methodologies and teach engineers to work in an AI-first environment—not just which tools to use, but how to rethink engineering with AI. Minimum Qualifications: * BS/MS in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years IC design experience * Hands-on AI tool usage (LLM assistants, coding copilots, agentic workflows, ML-based EDA) with concrete examples of productivity or design impact * Experience redesigning workflows around AI—restructuring specs, reviews, or verification for AI operation; building custom prompts/agents for automation * Deep understanding of high-speed IO performance, power/area optimization, and chip architecture/floor planning * Experience with physical design flows, layout optimization, and parasitic extraction Preferred Qualifications: * Built/deployed custom AI agents, LLM pipelines, or ML models for IC design, verification, layout, or debug; familiarity with prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, or agentic frameworks * Quantified productivity impact of AI inspired changes (cycle time, defects, coverage) * DRAM interface experience (DDR4/5, LPDDR5/6, HBM3/4) or other high-speed standards * Deep knowledge of CMOS device physics, reliability, BSIM modeling, and IO targets Job Profile(s): Semiconductor Design Engineer 5 Relocation Level: TBD Before Getting Started Please review Micron’s Internal Job Application Policy on your regional PeopleNow Career Opportunities page before searching and applying for jobs.
