Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

Experience Level

Experience Level: Engineer / Senior Engineer / Principal Engineer (E1–E5) As an NFI Engineer at Micron, you will support the debug and root cause analysis of NAND-related issues across a wide range of end products, including SSDs, UFS and other NAND-based storage solutions.

Position Overview

Working closely with Product Development, System Engineering, Firmware, Quality, and Failure Analysis teams, you will investigate complex issues involving NAND devices, firmware interactions, media management, controller interfaces, and system behavior. You will analyze system logs, characterization data, protocol traces, electrical measurements, and failure analysis results to identify root causes and drive corrective actions. The role involves supporting product qualification and sustaining activities, identifying NAND design marginalities and defectivity-related issues, improving product robustness, and developing automation or AI‑assisted workflows to improve debug efficiency and accelerate issue resolution. In addition, you will leverage AI‑assisted tools, data analytics, and automation solutions to accelerate debug activities, improve root cause turnaround time, and enhance engineering productivity. Engineers are encouraged to explore innovative approaches using AI technologies to streamline data analysis, automate repetitive tasks, and improve decision‑making in complex debug investigations. Engineers will contribute according to their experience level, from learning NAND technologies and debug methodologies to leading complex technical investigations, driving technical strategy, mentoring engineers, and influencing solutions across multiple products and technology generations.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive NAND Failure Investigation (NFI) activities for product qualification and sustaining support.
