Job description

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. Micron’s Module Development Engineering team is responsible for the design, development, validation, and characterization of next‑generation DRAM memory module products. The team works closely with design, simulation, software, manufacturing, and component engineering organizations to ensure products meet performance, reliability, quality, and customer requirements. Through comprehensive engineering analysis and validation, the team helps drive successful product development from concept through production.

As a Module Hardware Validation Engineer, you will perform design and development engineering assignments related to hardware products and systems, including new product development and enhancements to existing products. You will validate DRAM module PCBAs, evaluate active component and system performance, develop test methods and automation tools, and support hardware design verification activities. This role combines hardware characterization, failure analysis, software development, and project execution to ensure high‑quality memory solutions. You will also apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI‑Assisted tools to improve efficiency, automate workflows, and enhance data analysis across validation activities.

Responsibilities

• Perform design, development, validation, and characterization of DRAM memory modules and related hardware systems, including evaluation of signal integrity, power integrity, and overall module performance using laboratory equipment, test platforms, and PC systems.
