The TMG Development program is a 12-month program for new college graduates in the TMG organization.
About This Opportunity
Join our Memory IP Validation team within the Advanced Technology Development organization. You'll characterize cutting-edge memory circuits (SRAM, Flash, EEPROM, eFuse) on advanced technology nodes—working on IP that powers next-generation smartphones, AI accelerators, data centers, and automotive systems.
This role combines hands-on silicon characterization, test automation, and cross-functional collaboration with worldwide teams. You'll work with 300mm development wafers, analyze performance data, and help qualify innovative memory IP designs for customer integration. If you're passionate about bringing circuits from design to reality and solving complex technical challenges, this is an excellent place to start your career.
Why This Role Matters
As part of the Technology Development team, you'll enable next-generation memory technologies through comprehensive characterization. Your silicon feedback shapes design decisions and qualifies innovative IP for cutting-edge products—bridging the gap between circuit design and silicon reality on tomorrow's technologies.
What You'll Gain
Circuit designers, process development engineers, failure analysis teams, and business units.
What You'll Be Doing
Silicon Characterization on ATE
