HBM SoC Physical 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.As a SoC Physical Design Engineer in the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), you will drive the implementation of advanced HBM SoC logic/base die designs from netlist to GDSII. You will work closely with RTL design, verification, DFT, IP providers, packaging/assembly, and manufacturing teams to deliver best‑in‑class PPA (performance, power, area) and robust signoff collateral for tape-out. This is a hands‑on role with opportunities to own blocks or top‑level integration across multiple product generations.Key ResponsibilitiesOwn physical implementation for SoC blocks and/or top-level, including floor-planning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization to meet PPA targets.Drive timing closure (setup/hold) across multi-mode/multi-corner (MMMC) scenarios; partner with RTL, architecture, and STA/signoff to converge designs.Integrate and implement complex IP (e.g., controllers, microcontrollers, NOC, interfaces, MBIST/DFT logic, buffers, PHY‑adjacent logic) with focus on robust physical integration and timing/power integrity.Perform and/or coordinate physical signoff, including DRC/LVS, IR drop/EM, and timing signoff, addressing violations efficiently.Partner with DFT teams to ensure scan/MBIST requirements are physically realizable and do not compromise PPA or schedule.Work with packaging, assembly, test, probe, and manufacturing collaborators to ensure builds meet manufacturability and quality requirements.Support tape-out execution (checklists, ECO flows, signoff reviews) and contribute to post-silicon debug by correlating silicon behavior with PD/STA/power analysis.Identify flow gaps and improve productivity through scripting/automation and best-practice methodology development.Required QualificationsStrong experience in SoC physical design implementation from netlist to GDSII on advanced nodes and complex designs.Proficiency with industry EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus/Tempus, Synopsys ICC2/PrimeTime, Siemens Calibre or equivalent).Solid understanding of STA fundamentals, clocking, constraints (SDC), and common closure techniques (buffering, path shaping, useful skew, etc.).Experience with power intent and power delivery considerations (e.g., UPF/CPF concepts, power grid planning, power gating implications).Familiarity with physical verification/signoff concepts: DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction awareness, and signoff handoff quality.Preferred QualificationsExperience with HBM / DRAM adjacent SoC designs, or memory-subsystem-heavy SoCs.Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.Minimum 10 years of experience in a related field.Proven ability to mentor and develop engineers early in their careers.As a world leader in the semiconductor industry, Micron is dedicated to your personal wellbeing and professional growth.
