Mixed Signal Design Engineer for DTCO on emerging memories and SRAM

Imec is looking for a talented Mixed Signal Design Engineer (f/m) to advance their research in emerging memories periphery and SRAM periphery using advanced logic nodes.

What you will do

You will design and optimize mixed signal circuits and flows for both emerging memories (e.g., MRAM, FeRAM, eDRAM), advanced nodes SRAM and high density 3D structures for DRAM applications. 

You will focuson Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) between the system subblocks and the underlying technology, to enhance performance and reliability, developing cutting-edge interconnect strategies to improve integration and scalability. 

You will support tape-out processes, ensuring successful fabrication and implementation. 

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to drive technology co-optimization efforts. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design mixed signal circuits for advanced memory applications. 
• Conduct DTCO to optimize the synergy between design and technology. 
• Support tape-out activities, ensuring timely and successful project completion. 
• Innovate in advanced logic technology nodes 

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at our imec office in Cambridge, UK. We can sponsor visas for relocation too.  

With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. 

We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits. 

Who you are

• PhD in Electronics or a related field, or a Master’s degree with significant industrial experience. 
• Proven expertise in mixed signal circuit design, DTCO, and  tapeout processes. 
• Proficiency in EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor Graphics. 
• Experience in IC layout, memory design.  
• Knowledge on advanced technologies. 
• You are a capable coder that utilizes the power of versioning and documentation. 
• You are a strong team player and a good communicator. Sharing the progress of tasks, seeking feedback from your colleagues, and acting as a soundboard, is important to you.
