Position Overview:

We are searching for a Principal HBM IO Architecture Design engineer own the development of the PHY IO on the interface die in HBM products. In this position, you will be responsible for the development including defining design target, developing spec, architecting IO/clocking/datapath, being responsible for design, optimization, and verification. Use of both analog and digital CMOS design skills will be needed to work on the various circuits you would be responsible for. You will be part of a highly multi-functional team of technical domain experts collaborating closely with a distributed team of Design Engineering, Product Engineering, Process Development, Package Engineering & Business Units to implement a common goal of ensuring our future HBM roadmap is successful.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: 

• IO and datapath design architect for HBM products

• Design low-power high-speed Tx, Rx, clock tree

• Analyze timing jitter and variation to improve speed and optimize design

• Contribute to cross group communication to work towards standardization and group success 

• Proactively solicit guidance from Standards, CAD, modeling, and verification groups to ensure the design quality 

• Drive innovation into the future Memory generation with multifaceted work environment 

Successful candidates for this position will have: 

• Prior industrial experience in high-speed clocking design at 16Gbps+ speed

• Good IO circuit design background with familiarity of both, analog and digital design and simulation experience required 

• Solid knowledge of IO design principles for practical design tradeoffs on speed/area/power/complexity

• Experience with circuit verification and optimization including layout verification and parasitic extractions of the circuits 

• Familiar with one or more off-chip protocols such as UCIe, HBM, DDR, PCIe, MIPI, etc

• Good understanding on FinFET device characteristics and hands-on design experience
