vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.\nMicron 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.\nKey Responsibilities\nSSD Hardware Architecture and Development\nLead end-to-end SSD hardware architecture, design, validation and productization.\nOwn schematic design, component selection, PCB stack-up, placement, routing and design reviews.\nDefine hardware requirements covering performance, power, thermal, reliability, form factor and manufacturability.\nDrive high-speed interface design and validation for PCIe, NVMe, ONFI, NAND and other relevant interfaces.\nLead controller, NAND, DRAM, PMIC, clock, power-delivery and peripheral device integration.\nDevelop hardware solutions for standard form factors, including M.2 and BGA, as well as customer-specific automotive and embedded form factors.\nChampion an AI-first engineering mindset across SSD hardware design, validation, debug, and product execution.\nApply AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate schematic reviews, component/BOM analysis, design-rule and DFM checks, requirements analysis, technical documentation, and engineering data analysis.\nDevelop and deploy Python-based automation and AI-assisted workflows for repetitive hardware engineering tasks, including test-data processing, log analysis, validation reporting, failure triage, and design checks.\nLeverage Generative AI and agentic workflows to capture engineering knowledge, lessons learned, design guidelines, failure history, and reusable debug methodologies.\nAutomotive Hardware Requirements\nExposure to ASIL standards.\nTranslate customer and system-level automotive requirements into hardware design and validation specifications.\nDesign for extended automotive operating temperatures, typically including -40°C to +85°C or +105°C, depending on the product and application requirements.\nEnsure the design meets applicable automotive reliability expectations for: Temperature cycling and thermal shock High-temperature operating life Mechanical shock and vibration Humidity and moisture resistance Board-level solder-joint reliability Power cycling and extended mission-profile operation\nSupport component qualification and product-level assessments aligned with applicable AEC-Q100, AEC-Q104 and AEC-Q200 expectations.\nApply appropriate design margins and derating guidelines for voltage, current, temperature and component lifetime.\nAddress automotive power-transient, brownout, reset, power-loss protection and startup/shutdown sequencing requirements.\nEvaluate system-level EMC and ESD risks and support compliance testing against applicable automotive customer and regional requirements.\nSupport requirements related to long product lifecycles, component traceability, controlled BOMs, PCN management and obsolescence planning.\nFunctional Safety and System Robustness\nCollaborate with systems, firmware and functional-safety teams to support product development aligned with ISO 26262.\nContribute to hardware safety analysis, including: Hardware Failure Mode and Effects Analysis FMEDA inputs Diagnostic coverage assessment Single-point and latent-fault evaluation Safety mechanism definition and validation\nFamiliarity with Automotive SPICE development and traceability expectations is preferred.\nSI/PI, Thermal and Mechanical Engineering\nOwn signal-integrity and power-integrity analysis for high-speed interfaces, NAND channels, clocks and critical power rails.\nCorrelate pre-layout and post-layout simulations with laboratory measurements.\nOptimize PCB stack-up, impedance control, return paths, via structures, power distribution and decoupling.\nPartner with mechanical and thermal teams to evaluate heat spreading, thermal-interface materials, airflow, enclosure constraints and junction-temperature margins.\nAI & Engineering Automation\nDemonstrated exposure to AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows, with a strong mindset toward adopting AI to improve engineering productivity and quality.\nAbility to leverage tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Claude/Claude Code, or equivalent AI platforms for engineering analysis, documentation, scripting, automation, and technical problem-solving.\nIdentify and implement opportunities to apply AI and automation across the hardware development lifecycle, including design reviews, PCB/DFM checks, validation, data analysis, debug, and reporting.\nChampion an AI-first and automation-first engineering culture, developing reusable workflows and sharing best practices across the team.\nAbout Micron Technology, Inc.\nWe are an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions transforming how the world uses information to enrich lifefor all.
