Staff SOC Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer - HBM | TPG

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Job Description

The High-Performance Integrated Group (HIG) is a division within the Technology and Products Group (TPG). We are developing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) solutions for AI and ML applications. Using TSV (Through Silicon Via), we stack multiple DRAM chips on a high-speed memory controller with an integrated logic chip in one package, significantly increasing memory density and bandwidth through parallelization. Our ultimate goal is to deliver the lowest power per bit solutions in the industry. 

Micron is looking for a Senior Verification Engineer. You will be directly involved in the SoC verification of next-generation HBM DRAM products and be a part of a multi-functional team of experts in Design Engineering, Product Engineering, Process Development, Package Engineering & Business Units to implement our HBM roadmap.  

You will apply your deep understanding of SoC Verification, testbench architecture, SoC verification methodologies, and 2.5D & 3D package integration to understand and analyze bottlenecks and propose innovative solutions to target best in class scalability, quality, testbench performance and verification cycle time. Verification and Testing (validation) of an HBM product are most challenging due to the size of the design and complexity of the functions. They require significant innovation, making this position uniquely exciting. You are a self-motivated, hard-working team player who enjoys working with diverse abilities and backgrounds. You have an innovative approach that is open to improving upon any of our processes or products. 

Responsibilities:

• Develop test plans at SOC Level and analyze Coverage.

• Build verification environments to verify complex SOCs.

• Develop Random/Directed test in RTL and GLS environments.

• Review architectural specifications to ensure high quality. 

• Work with customers to understand their verification and validation requirements and provide the necessary collateral.

• Work with IP suppliers to ensure that proper verification and validation collaterals are provided.

• Be proactive in identifying and flagging quality issues, performance problems, and opportunities to reduce power consumption.

• Debug and identify root causes and solutions for pre-silicon and post-silicon issues encountered in current HBM products and architectures.  

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS in Electrical Engineering or a related equivalent field. 

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in SoC/IP verification.

• Proficient in writing tests and developing verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.

• 3+ years of experience with writing assertions and coverage monitors.

• Strong and relevant expertise with SoC simulation tools and advanced verification methods.

What Sets You Apart 

• MSEE or higher

• Proven track record of innovation and problem-solving in building verification environments and/or validating complex SOCs. 

• Experience working with Synopsys and/or Cadence validation IPs. 

• 2 years of experience working on gate-level simulation (GLS). 

• 2 years of experience with scripting languages such as Python. 

• Experience in any of the following IPs: UCIE, memory controller, NOCs, MBIST, ATPG scan controllers.

• Familiarity with DRAM operation and JEDEC specifications, preferably with the HBM product family.

• Good verbal and written communication skills with the ability to efficiently synthesize and convey sophisticated technical concepts to other partners and leadership.
