Hiring Manager
Robin Philippe
Responsibilities
Design and develop SRAM bitcells, peripheral circuits, SRAM macros, and compilers for advanced technology nodes (2 nm and beyond)
Perform transistor-level circuit design and simulation to meet performance, power, stability, and variability requirements
Collaborate with process integration and device teams to improve SRAM cell robustness, yield, and manufacturability through DTCO activities
Define and maintain the SRAM technology roadmap, including scaling strategy, bitcell architecture evolution, and feature planning for future nodes
Lead and contribute to DTCO studies for SRAM, evaluating device options, layout constructs, Vt choices, and PPA trade-offs
Work closely with standard cell, GPIO, and logic IP teams to ensure cross-IP alignment and consistent design assumptions
Participate in SRAM macro architecture definition and compiler feature planning (timing, redundancy, power management)
Conduct layout verification, DRC/LVS debug, parasitic extraction, and variation analysis for SRAM arrays and peripherals
Analyze silicon test and characterization data and support failure analysis and yield improvement activities
Work with EDA vendors and PDK teams to define and validate SRAM modeling, sign-off, and enablement flows
Contribute to SRAM qualification test chips and shuttle programs
Qualification
Required
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
3+ years of experience in SRAM circuit design, memory architecture, or advanced CMOS memory development
Strong knowledge of SRAM bitcell design, peripheral circuits, and variability-aware design techniques
Experience with EDA tools for schematic design, layout, and simulation (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys HSPICE, Siemens Calibre)
Solid understanding of device physics, PVT variation, and reliability challenges at advanced nodes
Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams (process, DTCO, EDA, test, and enablement)
Strong communication and technical documentation skills in English
Preferred
Experience with FinFET or nanosheet (GAA) SRAM design
Experience contributing to SRAM technology roadmap definition or long-term memory scaling strategy
Familiarity with DTCO methodologies, including device/layout co-optimization and trade-off analysis
Experience with SRAM compiler development and automation flows
Hands-on experience with silicon debug, failure analysis, and test-chip bring-up
Knowledge of EDA PDK development or SRAM model validation flows
Business-level Japanese proficiency is a plus
