Description
Micron's Signal Integrity Research and Development (SI R&D) group supports all current and future product development, including DRAM, LPDRAM, NAND, NOR, 3DXP, DIMM modules and SSDs within the consumer, server, mobile, networking, graphics, automobile and embedded businesses. The SI R&D works on analysis of end to end systems solutions including but not limited to circuit level, integrated circuit (IC) packages, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and measurements to ensure good Signal Integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) performance for Micron's memory solutions. The team owns all steps of the signal and power integrity support process including die and package model generation, product performance analysis, system-level SI evaluation, measurement, correlation, and customer support. The team also supports future specification development within several industry standards groups including but not limited to JEDEC, ONFI, and IBIS. The group working environment is technically challenging, team-oriented, collaborative and customer-centric.
Within the larger SI R&D group, as a Senior Signal Integrity Engineer at Micron, you will be responsible for
- Leading out in the design and analysis of high speed (HS) memory interfaces and power distribution networks (PDN).
- Leading out in SI/PI development across a broad range of Micron's portfolio to ensure product electrical performance through modeling, simulation, analysis, and correlation to measurement for the various products.
- Representing the SI R&D team in technical cross functional collaborative groups, and integrating with package design, silicon design, product engineering, and marketing departments to ensure overall product performance.
- Driving and development of SI/PI aspects of future standards (including but not limited to JEDEC, ONFI, and IBIS) through system and product electrical capability exploration.
- Supporting external customers with their design challenges
- Providing expert SI PI support for Field Apps teams
- Developing methodologies and processes for SI/PI analysis
- Establish and communicate best know SI design methods to external customers
- Supporting (and in some cases driving) path-finding activities for IO and channel innovation to enable next generation of memory technologies at higher speeds and densities
