Full Job Description
**Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for _all_. ** Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. The Compute Strategy & Pathfinding group focuses on compute architectures and algorithms that define future memory and compute capabilities 3–5 years ahead of product integration. The team works closely with internal engineering groups, external partners, and customers to architect, evaluate, simulate, and design advanced ASIC solutions that shape Micron’s long‑term technology roadmap. We are seeking a highly skilled ASIC Architect with strong experience in architecture definition, logic design, synthesis, and system‑level evaluation. The ideal candidate will assist with architectural definition from concept through implementation readiness, bridging high‑level system modeling with RTL development, physical design considerations, and product transition. ### ### **Responsibilities** * Define and evolve ASIC and system architectures, including logic partitioning, module interfaces, and design tradeoffs across performance, power, area, and scalability. * Write detailed block‑level and architectural specifications to guide RTL design, verification, and system simulation activities. * Oversee logic design and synthesis activities, ensuring alignment with architectural intent and project requirements. * Contribute to backend synthesis and physical design flows, evaluating the impacts of placement, routing, timing, and power on architectural decisions. * Perform system‑level modeling, validate proof‑of‑concept designs, and analyze new architectural capabilities to assess feasibility and value. * Drive evaluation of complete ASIC flows from high‑level design through synthesis, place‑and‑route, timing closure, and power optimization. * Collaborate with multi-functional te
