## About the role

As a Principal Design Engineer on the NAND datapath team, you will lead architecture and design of the internal datapath between the page buffer and IO: wave-pipelined buses, flop-to-flop timing, FIFOs, dataline sensing, column repair and clocking. You will use AI daily to accelerate design, timing closure and verification, help bring STA-based semi-custom methodology into a simulation-only flow, and set technical direction as a recognized leader! Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years in memory datapath, SRAM or high-speed custom design
- BS/MS in EE or related field
- Deep expertise in flop-to-flop and wave-pipelined timing closure (setup/hold, skew, min/max delay, PVT margin)
- Experience in sense amp, dataline or SRAM read/write design, including Monte Carlo/high-sigma verification
- Proven collaboration with layout on floorplanning, extraction and post-layout timing correlation
- Daily hands-on AI use, with concrete examples of AI-based workflows (prompts, scripts or agents) that improved productivity or design outcomes
