Description About the role: As a member of the Ampere Circuit Team, you will contribute to the design of high-performance memory arrays-from initial concept through hardware validation. You will work on transistor-level design for SRAM arrays/caches, register files, and/or custom standard cells. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams including logic, DFT, and PD to translate system requirements into robust, manufacturable designs.
What you'll achieve: - Develop schematic and layout designs for advanced memory arrays
- Conduct bitcell analysis to ensure robust performance
- Analyze and balance area, power, and performance trade-offs in array design
- Perform EMIR analysis to assess signal integrity and power grid robustness
- Execute equivalence checking between SPICE and behavioral models
- Carry out circuit robustness checks and timing model generation/verification
- Hardware validation efforts to bring designs from simulation to silicon
About you: - Good understanding of VLSI circuits, design methodology, and device/electrical fundamentals
- Experience using EDA tool flows for simulation, verification, and characterization
- Familiarity with design-for-test (DFT) concepts and their impact on circuit design
- Ability to work independently on defined deliverables while also collaborating effectively with other teams
- Ability to program in Python, Perl, or TCL
- Electrical or Computer Engineering - Bachelor's degree & 5 years of related experience; or MS degree & 3 years; or PhD & no prior experience
What we'll offer: At Ampere we believe in taking care of our employees and providing a competitive total rewards package that includes base pay, cash long-term incentive, and comprehensive benefits. The full base pay range for this role is between $147,000 and $220,000.
Our benefits include health, wellness, and financial programs that support employees through every stage of life.
