SSD Hardware Architect Engineer

Description

Seeking a self-motivated, team-oriented Hardware Architect to develop Micron’s next generation Solid State Drive (SSD) products.

We build the hardware that powers next-generation storage using AI agents. Our team brings together deep technical expertise and hands‑on problem solving to create SSD solutions that are fast, efficient, and built for scale. We work closely across disciplines, move quickly, and take pride in delivering designs that make a real impact.

This role is central to shaping how our SSD platforms are architected and delivered. You will drive key hardware decisions, influence system‑level performance, and collaborate with experienced engineers to bring complex designs from concept to production. If you enjoy solving challenging problems and owning critical pieces of the design, this is a great fit.

This position requires experience in hardware architecture, design, power integrity; including modeling and implementations. A successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of commercially available PMICs and voltage regulators for low voltage designs. Experience with PCB design tools (simulation and analysis) and a thorough understanding of hardware development methodologies is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Define hardware architectures and participate in design reviews and requirements development for SSD products
• Design power topologies and ensure strong power integrity across subsystems
• Simulate and analyze designs, providing recommendations to improve performance and reliability
• Collaborate across firmware, system, and validation teams to meet product requirements
• Mentor engineers and contribute technical guidance across the hardware team

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or computer engineering
• 10+ years of experience in hardware design and system architecture
• Strong foundation in circuit design, transmission line fundamentals, and power & signal integrity
• Experience with PCB design, high-speed routing, and power subsystem implementation
• Proficiency with simulation tools such as SPICE, IBIS, or Hspice

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or computer engineering
• Experience designing hardware for large-scale manufacturing including DFx considerations
• Hands-on experience with power integrity analysis in lab environments
• Familiarity with PCB stack-up design, via technologies, and design constraint definition
• Strong communication skills and experience guiding or mentoring engineers
