PRINCIPAL ENGINEER - HIG HBM PSE

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.

As a Principal Engineer in Micron’s HBM Product Engineering Component Validation team, you will be a senior individual contributor responsible for the validation of advanced High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. You will use proven knowledge in dynamic random-access memory and high-bandwidth memory architecture to compose validation coverage, implement and analyze validation runs, lead product debug and failure analysis toward a zero-escape validation goal across test modes and product achievements. You will also adopt AI-enabled ways of working, using enterprise AI tools to accelerate your engineering tasks and improve efficiency, work within Micron’s global validation organization and collaborate with groups at different locations.

Responsibilities:

• Translate DRAM/HBM develop intent and architecture into effective verification scope and test cases.

• Contribute to validation of new and high-risk product features, working with Design Validation, and Systems Engineering.

• Review design specifications, schematics, and datasheets, provide design feedback and represent the Product Engineering perspective in Design and Verification reviews.

• Read, analyze, and debug circuit blueprints to detect design-related failure mechanisms, and recommend approaches for verification and fault diagnosis.

• Perform root-cause analysis and examination of electrical failures (debug) of validation findings, distinguishing developed marginality from process and test-related issues.

• Apply automation and modern tooling (including Python, C, and C++ coding, Verilog and UVM for simulation) to improve detection efficiency and cycle time.

• Adopt agentic and LLM-based workflows - such as automated code generation and review, and failure-analysis / root-cause acceleration, to improve efficiency, quality, and turnaround duration.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field, with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience preferably in the memory semiconductor industry.

• Strong understanding of the structure, operation, and build concepts of DRAM and HBM memory technologies.

• Proven experience reading and debugging circuit schematics to isolate failure causes linked to develop aspects.

• Extensive experience in post-silicon product validation and debug, including root-cause and electrical failure analysis.

• Solid experience programming with Linux, Python/C/C++, Verilog, UVM, and version control systems (git, svn, Perforce).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience developing validation coverage and supporting feature or design-issue validation for HBM or advanced DRAM products.

• Hands-on experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and with high-speed I/O and signal-integrity validation.

• Experience validating products spanning hardware, firmware, and software components.

• Experience applying generative-AI or agentic tooling to semiconductor design, test, or validation workflows.

• Experience mentoring engineers and collaborating with multi-functional teams across multiple sites and time zones.
