Research & development - Leuven | More than two weeks ago
Over the last years, imec has been steadily increasing the maturity of multiple memory technologies (RRAM, MRAM, Flash, FeRAM, DRAM, ...) at single-device level. The current challenge is to further scale-up these technologies to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), which also requires designing and integrating standalone memory arrays and macro aimed at limited volume production (LVM). In this context, we are looking for a technically skilled and cross-functionally aware professional to oversee the development of advanced Test Sites with memory ASICs bridging design, manufacturing, and test.
As a Memory Design to Tape-Out Expert, you will lead, define and coordinate complex design flows aiming at enabling test-vehicles allowing technology demonstration at high TRL level. You are a technically driven leader, and you’ll bring a solid understanding of modern digital/analog memory semiconductor design flows, commercial foundry processes, and mask design process. You have a broad knowledge of both complex (ASIC) designs and simpler process control test keys. You will not directly implement designs but will coordinate multiple stakeholders in the flow, having different fields of expertise (integration, device, test, design and mask preparation). You will face unique challenges in enabling innovative memory technology on established foundry processes. You are able to do so by leveraging your knowledge of CAD environments (schematic, layout, synthesis, verification, automation), mask fabrication process (data preparation, OPC), and test (ATE test, TEG/Test Keys definition). This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and cross-functional collaboration.
As a Memory Design to Tape-Out Expert:
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.
