Senior / Product Engineer - NAND Firmware Integration

About the role

Micron is hiring an NFI (NAND Failure Investigation) Engineer to 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. The role works closely with Product Development, System Engineering, Firmware, Quality and Failure Analysis teams, investigating NAND devices, firmware interactions, media management, controller interfaces and system behavior. Experience levels range from Engineer to Principal Engineer (E1-E5).

Key responsibilities

• Own and drive NAND failure investigation activities for product qualification and sustaining support.
• Debug and perform root cause analysis of NAND-related failures, including device, firmware, controller interface, signal integrity and media management issues.
• Analyze characterization data, system logs, protocol traces, tester data and silicon measurements to identify failure mechanisms.
• Collaborate with PDT, System Engineering, Firmware, Quality and Manufacturing teams to resolve qualification and customer-reported issues.
• Drive containment, corrective actions and long-term solutions for critical product issues.
• Support NAND technology qualification, new product introduction and volume manufacturing readiness.
• Identify design marginalities, defectivity and reliability concerns affecting yield.
• Develop debug methodologies, automation tools and AI-assisted workflows to improve RCA efficiency and reduce turnaround time.
• Capture learnings in knowledge databases and standardized debug procedures, and present findings to management and stakeholders.

Required profile

• Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Semiconductor Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, and excellent verbal and written communication.
• Self-motivated with a strong learning mindset and able to work across global cross-functional teams.
• Preferred: knowledge of NAND Flash operation and architecture, familiarity with SSD, UFS, eMMC or other storage systems, and experience with system debug, root cause analysis, validation or product qualification.

Required skills

• Preferred: programming or scripting (Python, SQL, data analytics tools)
• Preferred: experience with automation, AI-assisted engineering workflows or semiconductor product development
