In the Principal Engineer position, you will lead technical verification approaches to strengthen DRAM verification quality, standardization, and traceability throughout project families and pillars. You will invent the next generation of intelligent verification workflows and continuously advance scalable verification systems that align with new products, features, evolving design techniques (including RTL-focused flows), and scalable, family-based product development. This role is ideal for someone who excels in uncertain situations, enjoys forging new paths, and wants to impact verification across the DRAM roadmap.

Responsibilities

Verification Quality and Methodology Governance

  • Define and drive DRAM verification methodology, quality standards, and AI-enabled strategies to improve coverage, traceability, efficiency, and defect prevention.

  • Lead closed-loop silicon learning by identifying verification gaps, incorporating lessons learned into requirements and standard methodologies, and reducing recurring silicon issues.

  • Own and continuously improve the JAMA requirements framework, ensuring alignment, scalability, and adoption across projects and teams.

  • Simplify and optimize verification workflows through automation, AI, and process improvements that reduce cycle time and accelerate debug.

  • Partner across engineering teams to drive methodology decisions, align collaborators, and scale verification approaches.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

  • 10+ years of experience in DRAM verification, validation, or product engineering.

  • Experience with Linux environments and EDA tools, including Cadence Virtuoso.

  • Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

  • Experience using AI/ML/LLM tools to improve engineering productivity.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated capability to establish and advance clear, organized, and scalable verification methods or workflows across projects or teams.

  • Experience with requirements management, tracking systems, and structured documentation workflows (e.g., JAMA, JIRA).

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, with a demonstrated ability to learn and apply new DRAM concepts and verification methodologies.

  • Experience mentoring and developing less experienced engineers through technical leadership and mentorship. Interest or experience in applying AI‑enabled approaches to improve verification efficiency, quality, or scalability.

  • Hands‑on experience developing analog and digital verification testbenches, using industry‑standard tools such as SystemVerilog, UVM, SpectreFx, and PrimeSim. Advanced scripting or programming skills (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl, or similar) applied to verification automation or data analysis.
