Company

hirify.global develops Flash memory and advanced memory technology products for global data storage needs.

What you will do

• Lead digital design projects for NAND Flash memory, covering microarchitecture, RTL design, verification, synthesis, and timing analysis.
• Develop and verify RTL in Verilog, perform RTL linting, clock domain crossing analysis, design integration, DFT, and timing closure.
• Balance modularity, scalability, power, area, and performance trade-offs to meet design goals.
• Collaborate with internal and external engineering teams and customers to define technical specifications and features.
• Participate in post-silicon evaluation and debugging and support productization.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior engineers.

Requirements

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related field, plus 6–8 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with chip-level integration, chip leadership, and the full logic design product lifecycle.
• Knowledge of the logic design flow from RTL to GDSII, including simulation, synthesis, static timing analysis, logic equivalence, DFT insertion, place-and-route, clock tree synthesis, extraction, and physical verification.
• Working knowledge of NAND Flash memory cell operations and program, read, and erase algorithms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, interpersonal skills, troubleshooting ability, and experience working effectively across teams.

Nice to have

• Experience designing digital circuits for low-power operating conditions and knowledge of device physics and process technology.
• Knowledge of NAND Flash Analog, Core, Datapath, and IO circuit design.
• Experience with Synopsys or Cadence synthesis, static timing, and place-and-route tools.
• Familiarity with revision control, Liberty timing models, and SDC constraints.
• Programming experience in C, C++, Python, or Perl.
