Embedded memory design
Job Description and Requirements
The Embedded Memory and Logic Team is part of Solutions Group and is responsible for standard and custom embedded SRAMs/ROMs/TCAMs development and provides both functional and physical views of memory in form of Memory compilers, A semiconductor intellectual property (IP) for the design of complex integrated circuits. The team is completely responsible for all aspects of memory development starting from Bit Cell Analysis, Architecture Design, Characterization and Verification.
Responsibilities
- Manage a team and develop SRAM/Register file /TCAM /ROM architectures and circuit implementation techniques.
- Schematic entry, simulation of major blocks, layout planning, layout supervision and interface with CAD team for full verification and model generation.
- Designing and implementing optimum low-power and area-efficient embedded memory (SRAM, register files, etc.) circuits and architectures.
- Learn and apply skills in memory compilers having Transistor level circuit Design.
- Resolves a wide range of issues in creative ways
- Inter-team interaction
- Customer focus
- Frequently networks with senior internal and external personnel in own area of expertise
- Experience of FinFet Technology for Memory Design
- Can coordinate, facilitate, and monitor the daily activities of a small to large group of support resources within their section or project team
- With minimal supervision, prioritizes workload to successfully manage multiple tasks and responsibilities
- Proactively addresses and communicates issues impacting productivity
As a Manager, the individual will be involved in challenging projects and drive it to completion in record time.
You will quickly ramp on the existing flow, understand the challenges, and produce the work plan.
Your expertise in deep submicron technology and Finfet, SRAM design, processor design, Digital design flow and teamwork skills will be highly leveraged to guide activity across the entire cross-discipline, multi-site team.
You will work with others to identify the issues, get buy-in on proposed solutions, and implement the solutions in time for the team to execute to schedule.
Skills/Experience:
