Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

The ideal candidate for this role is a seasoned professional with over 10 years of industry experience in analog or memory circuit design. You possess a strong foundation in transistor-level CMOS circuit design and are adept at using circuit simulation tools like XA/PrimeSim, HSIM, and HSPICE. Your experience spans across designing sense amplifiers, voltage regulators, charge pumps, and bandgap references. You bring hands-on experience with silicon debugging and have a basic understanding of Verilog simulation flow. As a team player, youare able to guide and lead others, exhibit excellent written and verbal communication skills, are detail-oriented, independent, self-motivated, and thrive in a multi-national, cross-functional team environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading and contributing to all parts of advanced memory development flow, starting from design specifications through to product release.
• Designing standard CMOS-based non-volatile memory circuits.
• Designing and modifying charge pumps, voltage regulators, and sense amplifiers.
• Leading and collaborating closely with on-site and off-site design, layout, and CAD teams.
• Performing or reviewing reports for full chip level simulation and verification (both digital and analog).
• Support product engineers to perform silicon verification, test and debug to analyze the IP on silicon.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Driving the development of next-generation NVM IP.
• Enhancing the performance and reliability of memory designs.
• Ensuring seamless integration of memory solutions across various process technologies.
