In short

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Memory Architect to design and optimize memory IPs such as SRAM, ROM, and Register files for advanced semiconductor nodes. The role involves transistor-level design, simulations using HSPICE/Spectre, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Architect memory compiler and custom memory instance design.
Analyze memory specs and meet PPA requirements.
Perform transistor-level design and simulations (HSPICE, Spectre).
Conduct corner analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and variation-aware design.
Debug design issues across PVT conditions.
Identify design margin measurements and create simulation setups.
Create and verify setups for Bitcell Analysis, Sense amp analysis, and self-time analysis.
Design and optimize leaf cells in memory from scratch.
Integrate leaf cells into memory instances and perform top-level simulations.
Manage multiple projects and guide team towards project closure.
Collaborate with layout and Verilog modelling teams.

Requirements

Good understanding of different Memory architectures (SRAM, ROM, emerging memory is a plus).
Familiar with bitcell and peripheral design.
Strong understanding of CMOS fundamentals.
Good understanding of Low-power design techniques.
Good understanding of various Read and Write assist circuits design techniques.
Good understanding of Redundancy and memory BIST feature.
Good Experience with Fast Spice and True Spice simulators.
Good understanding of critical path schematic creation for memory compiler modelling.
Good understanding of timing and power arcs required for memory characterization.
Good understanding of layout dependent effects in design.
Good understanding of parasitic extraction tool working and options associated with it.
Knowledge of memory compilers or embedded memory IP development.
Knowledge of FinFET technologies.
Exposure to ESPCV tool working.
