JR70903 Principal Firmware Engineer

At Micron, we transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. The pace is fast, collaboration occurs on a regular basis, and innovation is expected. As a test platform development Engineer within the Non-Volatile Engineering (NVEG) Product Engineer team, you will develop and qualify low-cost in-house engineering test platforms and solve complex problems. This role requires deep understanding of test hardware and software along with NAND, UFS and PCIe protocol knowledge. You will be responsible to enable the PE test infrastructure and test platforms to test, debug and characterizing the NAND component and System products by closely working with the cross functional teams such as Test Engineering and System Integration, ASIC and FW teams and assist Qualification and Ramping of cutting-edge NAND and System Micron products. The candidates responsibility is to design, develop, debug and optimize the firmware for the test platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and qualify product engineering test hardware, platforms, test firmware and software for non-volatile memory product bring up and debug.
• Design, develop, debug, validate and optimize firmware code for products.
• Integrate and validate FPGA designs in hardware using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal tap.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Test Engineering & System Integration, ASIC, FW, Product Engineering and operations, to integrate FPGA designs with other system components.
• Provide engineering test solutions (HW & SW) for Product Development for NAND/System characterization and Silicon debug capabilities
• Drive and support new protocol enablement (SCA- Separate Command Address, ONFI, UFS, PCIe) and capability bring up
• Routinely communicate overall project status to leadership and cross functional product team
• Provide guidance through debug and resolution of product related issues

Qualifications:

Successful candidates for this exciting opportunity will have:

• 8+ years of strong hands-on experience working on firmware development using C/C++ and good understanding of scripting languages including TCL, Perl/Python.
• Proficiency with GNU toolchain to compile, debug and build software applications.
• Experience in embedded systems, FPGAs and good understanding of low-level firmware architecture.
• Knowledge of the entire firmware development lifecycle from requirements analysis, design, testing and maintenance.
• Knowledge of storage interface such as High Speed ONFI, UFS, PCIe, etc.
• Memory and Storage System behavior, architecture and design
• Working experience on NAND and non-volatile System products
• Experience with non-volatile memory, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and/or Automated Test Equipment (ATE) is preferred
• Familiar working on Unix/Linux terminal.
• Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up and debugging and understanding of hardware schematic and layout.
• Excellent data analysis, problem solving, and decision-making skills
• Ability to work independently in a very fast paced environment and adapt to change
• Drive to determine root-cause and provide corrective action for product issues
• Proficiency in using version control systems like Git for managing code repositories and collaboration.
• Self-motivated and enthusiastic in a challenging, dynamic environment
• Demonstrated ability to partner successfully with other groups to build strong peer relationships and achieve the best outcomes for Micron

Education:

• Position requires a minimum of a Bachelors degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Engineering
