Staff Component Validation Engineer - HBM

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 MBIST, native test modes and high-speed memory validation. 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 MBIST and native mode testers
• Drive test equipment qualification and requalification, and hardware readiness (handler, socket, loadboard, probe card)
• Forecast validation capacity and own the health, availability and uptime of the validation platform
• Coach engineers on validation approaches, platform nuances, simulation methodology and reporting standards
• Implement standards for continuous improvement, 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
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action closure, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on design validation, electrical failure analysis and lab support
• Identify and share AI-enabled improvements within your scope

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

• Semiconductor engineering experience implementing AI, automation and continuous improvement initiatives
• Strong communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, and flexibility in a fast-paced environment
