Memory Macro Researcher

Engineering - Leuven | More than two weeks ago

As a Memory Macro Researcher, you will work on the cutting edge of advanced CMOS and memory technologies and you will contribute towards their evaluation and benchmarking, optimizing bit-cell, array, and macro designs to fully utilize future technologies.

What you will do

You create a timing, power, and physical abstraction generation flow for memory macros to be used in DTCO and STCO research. This generation will include Memory bit-cell to Array to Macro design and optimization and understanding and optimizing of the impact of global interconnects and I/O bandwidth on memory performance and power consumption. You contribute to the SRAM and other memory variability framework, as well as a CACTII framework for memory architecture simulations. Furthermore, you interact with universities on development of new memory architecture concepts that leverage novel technology capabilities. As the focus is on new technology nodes, generating or configuring relevant aspects of the PDK is also part of the job.

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. 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
- You have a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering or relevant field
- You are a capable coder that utilizes the power of versioning and documentation
- You have solid understanding of the physical mechanisms of various memory technologies (e.g., STT-MRAM, R-RAM, etc)
- You have a comprehensive understanding of all key building blocks of a memory sub-system (from bit-cell to macro, including periphery circuits)
- You have experience with circuit simulation software and circuit layout EDA tools
- You are detail-oriented but are also comfortable in critical thinking and taking decisions to navigate the changing R&D demands
- 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.
