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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Senior Design Verification Engineer, you will develop and support the tools, automation, and flows used to design, verify, and tape out advanced memory products. You will work closely with design, layout, verification, and process teams to improve engineering productivity and design quality in one or more areas, including layout automation, physical verification, circuit simulation, and digital implementation.
Responsibilities
-
Develop, enhance, and debug CAD tools, automation, and flows for custom IC design, layout, simulation, and verification.
-
Contribute to one or more functional areas: layout automation, physical verification, circuit simulation, or digital implementation.
-
Integrate, evaluate, and qualify in-house and commercial EDA tools in production environments.
-
Partner with design, layout, verification, and process teams to resolve workflow and tool-integration challenges.
-
Identify gaps in current tools and flows, and evaluate EDA industry offerings to improve quality, performance, and efficiency.
-
Provide training, documentation, and production support to end users.
-
Apply AI/ML and agentic AI to CAD automation, debugging, and user support.
-
Develop clean, scalable software and mentor engineers to support their technical growth.
-
Lead technical projects and contribute to CAD methodology roadmaps.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, or equivalent.
5+ years of industry experience in CAD, EDA, or semiconductor design.
Experience developing or supporting EDA tools and flows in at least one area: custom layout, physical verification, circuit simulation, or digital implementation.
Experience with IC design CAD tools for schematic capture, layout, simulation, or verification.
Proficiency in Python and at least one additional language, such as SKILL, Tcl, Perl, C, or C++, plus Linux/Unix and shell scripting.
Solid CMOS and VLSI fundamentals, with clear communication and practical debugging skills across global teams.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience with Cadence Virtuoso and SKILL, including layout automation or parameterized cell (PCell) development.
Experience with Calibre design rule checking (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) flows, or rule-deck development in SVRF.
Experience with circuit simulators such as Spectre, HSPICE, FineSim, PrimeSim, VCS, or Xcelium.
Experience with RTL-to-GDS tools such as Fusion Compiler, Innovus, PrimeTime, or Formality.
Experience with parasitic extraction tools such as StarRC or Quantus.
Experience applying AI/ML, large language models, or agentic AI to engineering workflows.
Experience with source control, automated testing, and release management.
Knowledge of DRAM, HBM, NAND, or emerging memory development.
WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART
This is not a traditional CAD role with AI as a secondary focus. AI is a core part of the mission. You will help define how AI is applied to real semiconductor design challenges while working closely with world-class design, process, and CAD teams. This role is especially well suited for a strong EDA/CAD engineer with practical AI experience who wants to grow into a broader AI design enablement role with significant technical impact.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Design Manager
Document your design leadership credentials
Gather portfolios, org charts showing direct reports, and project briefs that demonstrate strategic design decisions. USCIS scrutinizes Design Manager petitions for evidence the role requires a specific degree, not just general management experience.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Use Migrate Mate to filter Design Manager roles by verified H-1B filing history, so you're only pursuing employers who've already navigated the sponsorship process for this job title, not ones encountering it for the first time.
Verify your role's prevailing wage level before negotiating
Run your job title and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before offer discussions. Design Manager wages are certified at Levels I through IV, and your offered salary must meet the level your employer selects on the LCA.
Confirm the employer files cap-subject H-1B petitions
Some design studios and boutique agencies have never sponsored H-1B workers before. Ask HR directly whether they've filed I-129 petitions previously. A first-time sponsor may need several months of lead time just to engage immigration counsel.
Check O*NET before your specialty occupation letter
The O*NET profile for Design Managers lists the standard educational requirements USCIS expects to see reflected in your support letter. Your employer's attorney will reference this profile when arguing the role qualifies as a specialty occupation.
Use your 60-day grace period strategically between roles
If a Design Manager role falls through after your previous H-1B ends, you have 60 days to secure a new employer willing to file an H-1B transfer. Prioritize employers who can move quickly to premium processing to stay within that window.
H-1B Visa Design Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Design Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as graphic design, industrial design, architecture, or human-computer interaction. The employer must show the degree requirement is standard for the role, not merely preferred. Positions where any bachelor's degree satisfies the requirement regardless of field face greater USCIS scrutiny and may receive a Request for Evidence.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Design Manager jobs?
Migrate Mate filters Design Manager listings by verified H-1B LCA filing history, so you can see which employers have previously certified Labor Condition Applications for this job title. Targeting companies with an existing sponsorship track record significantly reduces the risk of an employer backing out mid-process when they realize the complexity involved.
Can my employer file an H-1B transfer if I'm already working as a Design Manager on H-1B status?
Yes. A new employer can file an H-1B transfer petition while you continue working for your current employer under portability rules, provided you've been in valid H-1B status and your new petition is non-frivolous. You don't need to wait for USCIS approval before starting the new role, but your new employer must file before your current authorization expires.
What documentation does my employer need to prove a Design Manager role is a specialty occupation?
Your employer's immigration attorney typically submits the job description, internal org charts, industry surveys showing degree requirements for comparable roles, and the O*NET occupational profile. For Design Manager specifically, evidence that you'll be directing design strategy rather than executing individual tasks strengthens the specialty occupation argument, since generalist management roles draw more RFEs.
Does it matter which city I'll be working in as a Design Manager on H-1B?
Yes. The LCA is tied to the specific worksite location, and prevailing wages vary significantly between metro areas. If you work remotely from a different location than listed on the LCA, your employer must file an amended petition with a new LCA. Design Managers in high-cost markets like San Francisco or New York are certified at higher wage levels, which affects what USCIS expects the offer to reflect.
