As the Director of HBM SoC Design, you will lead a team of HBM SoC Design Engineers within the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG). Your team will be responsible for the design, development, and integration of digital and analog circuits, including complex IP blocks. This role involves simulating, optimizing, and floor planning various blocks. You will collaborate with Micron’s global design and verification teams and support groups such as Product Engineering, Test, Probe, Process Integration, Assembly, and Marketing to proactively design HBM products that optimize manufacturing functions and ensure the best performance, power, cost, quality, reliability, time-to-market, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop innovative HBM solutions with new memory subsystem frameworks targeting AI/ML applications.
• Lead the design and development of HBM base die SoC solutions, including top-level design, verification, and integration of various IP blocks.
• Ensure HBM products are best-in-class for speed, power, cost, quality, and reliability by collaborating with HBM engineering teams.
• Work with HBM Engineering, Marketing, Probe, Assembly, Test, Process Integration, and Manufacturing groups to ensure proper manufacturability of products.
• Lead and collaborate with physical design, layout, and verification teams to deliver high-quality, on-time deliverables, including initial tape-out and design revisions.
• Debug and identify root causes and solutions for pre-silicon and post-silicon issues in HBM products.
• Create architectural specifications and external-facing documents, working with partners to generate specifications considering various hardware and protocol standards.
• Proactively solicit input from Standards, CAD, modeling, and verification groups to ensure design quality.
• Foster cross-group communication to work towards standardization and group success.
• Attract, recruit, train, engage, and retain top talent to build a world-class HBM SoC design team.
• Challenge the team to set and achieve stretch objectives while focusing on continuous improvement in schedules, quality, and capability.
• Build a team culture of hard work, innovation, and strong global collaboration with a focus on Micron’s Values.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience leading highly technical SoC design teams in a multinational design center model with multiple successful tape-outs to advanced logic foundries such as TSMC.
• Familiarity with the full cycle of SoC development, from architectural spec development to frontend and backend design, verification, and post-silicon bring-up.
• Experience working with IP providers and seamlessly integrating complex IP from third parties into the SoC, ensuring smooth pre-silicon and post-silicon engagement. This includes PHY, memory controllers, NOC, microcontrollers, MBIST, interfaces, adapters, RAS, buffers, etc., for various memory types (DDR, LPDDR, HBM).
• Strong RTL development capabilities and familiarity with IP level verification, synthesis, STA, and logic equivalence.
• Knowledge of DRAM operation, preferably with the HBM product family.
• Proficiency with various EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphic, etc.
• Experience with programming languages and scripting (e.g., Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, Python).
• Knowledge of industry standards and compliance requirements (e.g., JEDEC, ISO 26262, etc).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Minimum 15 years of experience in a related field.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in project management methodologies.
• Proven ability to mentor and develop junior engineers.
• Strong collaboration, adaptability, and effective communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.
