Memory Design and Technology Exploration

Imec is seeking a highly skilled Circuit Design and Implementation Expert to join our team in Cambridge, UK. As a leading research center in nanotechnology, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of memory technology and exploring new solutions. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in memory design, layout, and implementation, with a focus on emerging technologies such as SRAM, MRAM, and FeRAM.

In this role, you will be responsible for the comprehensive design of memory subarrays, including intricate stitching and detailed periphery design, to optimize for maximum efficiency and performance. You will also be instrumental in shaping the memory instances and delving into the future of compute in memory and near memory architectures.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading the design, layout, and integration of bitcells, arrays, and complex periphery ICs for various emerging technologies aimed at test-chips.
  • Assisting in the design and layout of diverse test-keys, ensuring accurate representation and functionality for hardware demonstrations of these pioneering technologies.
  • Leveraging expertise in circuit design implementation to comprehensively evaluate the power, performance, and area of various memory technologies, ensuring the results align with practical measurements.
  • Conducting thorough pre/post silicon validation to ensure designs meet the highest standards.
  • Engaging deeply with process teams in a DTCO environment, fostering collaboration across lithography, device modeling, and process integration sectors.

What we do for you

We offer a competitive salary and a range of benefits, including a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits, and a chance to work in a dynamic, multicultural environment. You will have the opportunity to interact closely with circuit designers, device experts, and process integration engineers, as well as major foundry, fabless and EDA partners in imec's eco-system.

Who you are

  • You already possess a UK visa and/or UK working rights as we cannot sponsor visas for the UK.
  • The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Electronics or a master with at least 5 years relevant industrial experience in memory design, layout, and implementation.
  • You possess basic coding capabilities.
  • You have a background of IC layout and memory design.
  • You have worked in multi-disciplinary teams, ideally both interacting with hardware designers as well as EDA vendors and foundry partners.
  • You have a critical mindset, eager to explore new challenges in the future and evolve together with the changing R&D demands.
  • Open and constructive team player.
  • Basic experience with circuit design, layout and simulation tools is a must (Virtuoso IC design, Hspice, Calibre DRC/LVS).
