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.

Department Intro

Micron's ASIC Analog Design team in Minneapolis develops next-generation internally designed tester ASICs and memory controller IP that enable high-speed, high-performance memory solutions. The team works at the forefront of deep sub-micron and advanced PHY technologies, collaborating closely across design, validation, packaging, and systems teams to deliver industry-leading products.
Position Overview

As a Design Engineer on Micron's ASIC Analog Design team, you will design and deliver critical analog and mixed-signal blocks for high-speed PHYs used in memory interfaces and controller ASICs. This role requires deep technical expertise in advanced CMOS technologies, ownership of complex sub-blocks, and hands-on involvement from architecture through silicon bring-up and validation.
Responsibilities

• Design and develop critical analog and mixed-signal PHY sub-blocks for deep sub-micron technology nodes.
• Own specifications, implementation, and integration of key blocks such as PLLs, DLLs, CDRs, receivers, transmitters, or high-speed datapaths.
• Drive and supervise complex analog layout activities, including IP floorplanning and coordination with mask designers.
• Plan and participate in silicon bring-up, characterization, and correlation of lab results to simulation data.
• Collaborate with Packaging, Board, and Validation teams to address signal integrity, power delivery, and system-level considerations.
• Present complex design concepts, tradeoffs, and results clearly to internal teams and external customers.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering.
• Proven ASIC analog or mixed-signal design experience.
• Strong fundamentals in AMS design, advanced CMOS, and FinFET technologies.
• Experience designing high-speed memory or SerDes interfaces (DDR3/4/5, LPDDR3/4x/5, GDDR5/6, PCIe, USB, SATA, or similar).
• Deep understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit behavior, architecture tradeoffs, and device physics.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience taking full ownership of at least one major PHY or SerDes sub-block.
• Hands-on experience with lab testing, data analysis, and design of experiments for complex debug scenarios.
• Knowledge of mismatch analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and transistor-level noise analysis.
• Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Cadence ADE, Spectre, AMS verification, EM/IR flows, MATLAB, and Calibre.
• Understanding of signal integrity, power delivery, ESD, and system-level modeling (Verilog-A or Python).
• Demonstrated curiosity, collaborative approach, and continuous learning orientation.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on modern ASIC and memory technologies.
• Hybrid work model with four days onsite and one day remote.
• Competitive compensation and benefits in an equal opportunity environment.
