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. You will also work on efforts to enable and integrate AI‑driven tools and AI‑enabled workflows into the team's methodologies. Key Responsibilities Own 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 Qualifications Strong 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 Qualifications Experience 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 3 years of experience in a related field. Proven ability to mentor and develop engineers early in their careers. Good understanding of Agentic AI or willingness to learn Agentic AI to help develop efficient workflow.
