About Micron Technology

Micron is a global leader in memory and storage, powering AI and compute-intensive applications from cloud to edge with innovative semiconductor solutions.

About the role

As a SoC Physical Design Engineer in the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), you will drive the implementation of advanced HBM SoC logic/base die designs from netlist to GDSII. You will work closely with RTL design, verification, DFT, IP providers, packaging/assembly, and manufacturing teams to deliver best‑in‑class PPA (performance, power, area) and robust signoff collateral for tape-out. This is a hands‑on role with opportunities to own blocks or top‑level integration across multiple product generations. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Strong experience in SoC physical design implementation from netlist to GDSII on advanced nodes and complex designs
  • Proficiency with industry EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus/Tempus, Synopsys ICC2/PrimeTime, Siemens Calibre or equivalent)
  • Solid understanding of STA fundamentals, clocking, constraints (SDC), and common closure techniques (buffering, path shaping, useful skew, etc.)
  • Experience with power intent and power delivery considerations (e.g., UPF/CPF concepts, power grid planning, power gating implications)
  • Familiarity with physical verification/signoff concepts: DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction awareness, and signoff handoff quality

This is a hands‑on role with opportunities to own blocks or top‑level integration across multiple product generations.

  • Own physical implementation for SoC blocks and/or top-level, including floor-planning, placement, CTS, routing, and physical optimization to meet PPA targets.
  • Drive timing closure (setup/hold) across multi-mode/multi-corner (MMMC) scenarios; partner with RTL, architecture, and STA/signoff to converge designs.
  • Integrate and implement complex IP (e.g., controllers,...
