About the role

Micron is hiring a Staff Engineer for its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Component Validation team. As a Subject Matter Expert, you will help define new standards for validation development of advanced HBM products and ensure stable, scalable validation testing infrastructure with zero code-related escapes across test flows. You will optimize test flows, lead technical problem solving for next-generation HBM products, drive validation deliverables and mentor junior engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and release test programs for HBM component validation, driving code quality, reviews and release best practices
• Optimize test time and parallelism, and improve test stability and repeatability across sites and equipment
• Debug test programs on multiple testers and coach other engineers on validation approaches, platform nuances, simulation methodology and reporting standards
• Drive test equipment qualification and requalification, and hardware readiness setup for handlers, sockets and similar
• Forecast validation capacity based on product ramps and coverage needs, and own the health, availability and uptime of the validation platform
• Support validation platform pathfinding and implement standards for continuous improvement in test programs and infrastructure
• Validate high-speed I/O and assist with eye diagram and signal integrity checks
• Maintain documentation in Confluence/Jira and version control in Git/Perforce, run root cause analysis and corrective action closure
• Collaborate with the Component Validation team and cross-functional teams on design validation, electrical failure analysis and lab support

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic or Computer Engineering (or related)
• 5+ years of relevant experience in semiconductor product engineering (DRAM/HBM preferred)
• 5+ years of hands-on test pattern and code development using C/C++ and Python on ATE (Teradyne, Advantest, etc.) and familiarity with APG (Algorithmic Pattern Generator)
• 5+ years of technical experience as a Product Development Engineering lead
• Demonstrated experience implementing DFT and functional testing (loopback, MBIST, scan) and knowledge of computer architecture and DRAM concepts
• Experience in analog mixed-signal, ASIC or silicon validation is considered

Preferred experience

• Implementing or leveraging AI for automation and continuous improvement
• Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, and flexibility in a fast-paced environment
