Job description

Micron is looking for a passionate engineer to join our growing SSD Validation Engineering team, which works as a key part of our Client SSD development and validation process, ensuring our products are timely to market and of outstanding quality in the field. You will partner multi-functionally and cross-site with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and other engineering groups to collaborate in developing strategies to implement validation work.

Technical Ownership

• Understand product life cycle and associated industry standards.
• Review and challenge current test plans, coverage, and testing activities to drive both increased effectiveness and efficiencies across the product portfolio.
• Recommend and instrument new validation approaches that drive better end-to-end coverage, more accurate testing, and expanded testing services.

Requirements Analysis

• Thorough understanding of product requirements and develop adequate coverage.
• Provide feedback and influence product design for the definition and implementation of new requirements/performance.
• Plan test schedules or strategies in accordance with project scope and delivery dates.

Validation Strategy

• Define test cases to verify that functional and non-functional requirements comply with system requirements.
• Identify PASS/FAIL criteria for test cases in terms of number of cycles, statistical parameters, and temperature.
• Enable shift‑left efforts to move detection of failures from customer tests to internal-developed and maintained test frameworks.

Test Implementation

• Define the test implementation strategy and software architecture to encompass both development and debugging.
• Plan and implement a test automation strategy to support the ongoing development of in‑house automation frameworks/tools.
• Continuously evaluate, refine, and implement validation processes and methodologies.

Test Execution

• Execute product validation flow to match the programmed validation plan.
• Monitor test time to achieve test time reduction.
• Analyze results using bin Pareto analysis.
• Generate reports that present data clearly and include concise comments about findings.
• Track document revisions to provide historical reference.

Defect Management

• Determine root cause and drive failures to closure by working with associated teams.
• Implement systematic steps to reproduce failures while providing traceability to bugs, gaps, and escapes.

Qualifications And Skills

• BS in an engineering subject area or equivalent.
• 3+ years of validation experience, with proven ability to craft and implement outstanding product test strategies.
• Deep knowledge of PCIe SSDs, NAND, memory storage hierarchy, and NVMe protocol.
• Strong Python scripting experience.
• Ability to analyze problems, diagnose root causes, and apply corrective actions.
