What You’ll Do

The DRAM Design Lab (DDL) is part of Samsung’s Memory Business Unit, the industry’s technology and volume leader in DRAM, NAND Flash.  DDL’s vision is to solve key problems in developing next-generation DRAM solutions, including High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). We are an integral part of Samsung’s strong R&D focus and lab innovation engine. We work closely with development teams to bring feature innovation to product roadmaps.

Come join the team that is designing HBM product, developing DRAM architecture, co-working head office and managing customer in all stages of design. You’ll focus on enhancement of full chip sim check, DFT consultation, IDD / PDN / checking reliability by developing the architecture of DRAM and optimize it for mass production.

Location: Hybrid with at least 3 days in office in San Jose, CA office location remainder of time to work remotely.
