As an Electrical Design Engineer – (FPGA/ASIC) in the Systems Integration Group (SIG) at Micron Technology, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing FPGA and/or ASIC solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing test equipment. Responsibilities will include generation of specifications, component selection, FPGA coding, simulation, and analyses, support of PCB/PWB layout, and integration & verification testing. You will work closely with cross-functional teams located around the world to ensure the successful integration of FPGA designs in various projects, contributing to innovative test solutions and enhancing system performance.
Responsibilities
- Derive SoC/FPGA and/or ASIC design specifications from system requirements
- Using HDL, develop modules and top-level implementations.
- Debug RTL code using modern simulation tools ensuring coverage closure and functional correctness
- Perform Synthesis, Place and Route (PAR) and Static Timing Analysis (STA)
- Perform timing closure and optimization for high-performance designs.
- Generate verification test plans and perform end-to-end simulations
- Collaborate with other design disciplines, including electrical, software, and systems engineering.
- Support electrical engineers during various phases of PCB assembly verification: design, bring-up and test.
- Prepare technical documentation, including design requirements, specifications, test reports, and user manuals.
- Provide regular progress updates to other team members and leadership.
- Participates in the improvement of digital (FPGA/ASIC) design processes.
Skills and Experience
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
- Proficiency with FPGA/ASIC design using HDL such as Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog.
