NAND Reliability Architect - End-to-End Leader

Micron Technology, Inc.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Micron Technology, Inc. in Singapore seeks a Staff Engineer to own the reliability architecture for new NAND products end-to-end, translating requirements into qualification strategies and test plans.

You will shape coverage, sampling, and stress methods to accelerate qualification without compromising quality. You will collaborate with Technology Development, System Architecture, Design, Manufacturing, and Quality teams, influencing across functions, and drive data-driven decisions through

Qualifications

• PhD or Master’s degree with ≥3 years, or Bachelor’s degree with ≥5 years in Microelectronics, Materials Science, Physics, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in semiconductor reliability, product engineering, test, design, validation, or system media architecture domain.
• Solid understanding of non-volatile memory architecture and operation, including program, erase and read algorithms, threshold-voltage distributions, page and block structure and error-management concepts.
• Hands-on experience in semiconductor reliability, product engineering, test, design, validation, firmware, system development or a closely related domain.
• Experience in system feature development, including defining, developing, checking out and validating reliability-impacting features or algorithms, with an understanding of how controller, firmware and system-level behavior translate into component-level requirements.
• Demonstrated architecture development capability, including strategy definition, coverage modeling, sampling design and trade-off analysis across quality, risk, cost and cycle time.
• Working knowledge of semiconductor device physics, circuits, process technology and reliability failure mechanisms such as charge loss or gain, read disturb, retention, cycling degradation and oxide breakdown.
• Strong statistical and data-analysis capability, with hands-on proficiency in Python, JMP, Tableau or equivalent tools.
• Familiarity with applicable industry reliability standards and qualification sampling or confidence methodologies.
• Demonstrated bias for speed, including a track record of accelerating schedules, pulling in milestones or simplifying processes without compromising quality, and comfort making sound decisions with incomplete data.
• Excellent problem-solving, project-management and cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical positions clearly to both engineers and executives.

Responsibilities

• Own technical execution from concept through validation, product introduction and sustaining support.
• Lead investigation of reliability failures and qualification gating issues using structured problem solving, electrical characterization and physical failure analysis.
• Connect product-level failure signatures to device, process, circuit, firmware or system behavior and translate findings into actionable mitigations.
• Provide data-backed reliability positions for product changes, process changes, manufacturing excursions and customer-specific requirements.
• Support customer inquiries and communicate technical findings, risk assessments and recommendations clearly to engineering and leadership stakeholders.
• Analyze large, high-dimensional reliability datasets, including threshold-voltage movement, error-rate trends, charge loss, read-disturb behavior and ECC margin, and convert the results into decision-ready recommendations.
• Build and deploy automation and agentic AI workflows that reduce manual effort in flow generation, documentation, sampling design, data analysis and technical reporting.
• Champion responsible, standards-compliant use of AI tools and share reusable solutions across the reliability organization.
