Our Opportunity Summary

We seek a self-motivated, team-oriented high-speed board design engineer to develop Micron’s next-generation Solid State Drive (SSD) products. This position requires experience in hardware architecture, design, and signal integrity, including modeling and simulation for high-speed signaling implementations. Our successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of state-of-the-art memory device technologies, interfaces such as SATA, SAS, PCIe Gen 3&4, ONFI, and implementation techniques required for high-speed interfaces.

Experience with PCB design tools (Cadence PCB design and analysis), including Si/Pi. Expertise in the design for optimum signal integrity and hands-on lab experience is a must. Also a thorough understanding of hardware development methodologies to achieve first-pass design success.

What’s Encouraged Daily

  • Interface in cross-functional teams to ensure the design meets all firmware, diagnostic, and system level requirements.

  • Participate in architecture definition, design reviews, and requirements generation of SSD products.

  • Perform basic SI measurements, such as TDR, TDT, crosstalk, jitter, eye pattern, and power plane noise measurements to validate SI and power integrity (PI) designs.

  • Document and communicate results with cross-functional counterparts.

  • Simulate and analyze design proposals, review results, and provide recommendations on optimal design practices to other design engineers.

  • Experienced in designing hardware for large-scale manufacture, including DFx and low-cost considerations.

  • Hardware design, worst-case analysis, simulations, capture schematic, de-rating, and assumes complete ownership of the SSD hardware through the product lifecycle.

  • PCB back-end process: defining stack-up and via technologies, part placement, setting design constraints, signal integrity, and power integrity analysis.

  • Works proactively with cross-functional team members during design, verification as well as on RMAs

  • In addition to design, a successful candidate will mentor and provide technical guidance to other hardware team members.
