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.
ROLE
Lead first-silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and validation of advanced 3D NAND products. Establish whether silicon meets design intent and datasheet requirements, correlate simulation with measurements, and resolve issues that could affect product qualification, reliability, yield, or SSD/system integration.
This role provides a unique opportunity to develop end-to-end expertise across advanced NAND products, spanning circuit design concepts, mixed-signal simulations, first-silicon bring-up, silicon debug, product qualification, and manufacturing readiness. Engineers gain broad exposure to analog, mixed-signal, digital, firmware, memory-array, and system-level behavior while working closely with design, verification, firmware, product, and system teams.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own validation strategies, coverage, and test plans for assigned NAND circuits and functions; define expected behavior, operating corners, and pass/fail criteria from product specifications and design intent.
- Lead first-silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and simulation-to-silicon correlation across voltage, temperature, process, timing, and workload conditions.
- Characterize and debug NAND subsystems including reference and bias generation circuits, bandgap references, oscillators, voltage regulators, charge pumps, sensing and page-buffer paths, high-voltage program/erase circuitry, memory-core drivers, control and timing logic, interface circuitry, trim and calibration functions, and firmware-controlled mixed-signal features.
- Investigate silicon failures with Design, Verification, Firmware, Test, Reliability, Product Engineering, and SSD/System teams. Form evidence-based hypotheses, design targeted experiments, identify root causes, and drive issues to verified closure through hardware, firmware, test-flow, trim, or workaround solutions.
- Convert silicon observations into engineering insight and product decisions by explaining deviations from expected behavior, assessing risk, recommending next actions, reviewing validation evidence, mentoring engineers, and improving reusable validation and debug methodologies.
