Micron is looking for a hard-working engineer to join our growing SSD Validation Engineering team, which works as significant of our Client & Consumer SSD development and validation process, ensuring our products are timely to market and outstanding quality in the field. You will partner multi-functionally and cross-site with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and other engineering groups to collaborate in developing strategies to implement validation work.

Responsibilities :

Technical Ownership

• Serve as the domain guide for validation on firmware architecture, product requirements, and associated industry and results.

• Reviews and challenges current test plans, coverage, and testing activities to drive both increased effectiveness and efficiencies across the product portfolio

• Recommend and instrument new validation approaches that drive better end-to-end coverage, more accurate testing, and expanded testing services

• Apply technical, project, and delegation experience to actively lead product test cycles

Requirements Analysis

• Study of product requirements in order to verify testability

• Identification of suitable testing equipment

• Feedback & influence product design for the definition and implementation of new requirements/ performances

• Plan test schedules or strategies in accordance with project scope and delivery dates

Validation Strategy

• Definition of test cases to verify that functional and non-functional requirements are complying to system requirements

• Working with product design for test cases developing coherently with FW and HW architecture to influence the CI/CD FW dev flow, gate-keep quality and shift left bug discovery

• Identification of PASS/FAIL criteria for test cases in term of number of cycles, statistical and temperature

• Enable shift-left efforts to move detection of failures from customer tests to internal-developed and maintained test frameworks

Test Implementation

• Define the Test Implementation Strategy and Software Architecture to encompass both development and debug.

• Define, plan and implement a test automation strategy, to supply to the ongoing development of in-house automation frameworks/tools.

• Constantly evaluate, refine and implement validation processes/methodologies

Test Execution

• Supplying and Pre-formatting of samples for validation

• Execution of Product Validation flow to match programmed validation plan

• Monitoring of test time – Test time reduction

• Results analysis – Bin Pareto

• Report Generation - Report data in a clear format including concise comments about findings

• Track document revision to provide historical reference.

Defect Management

• Root-cause and drive failures coming from upstream/downstream validation teams, customers and other partners to closure, while also articulating the associated risk.

• Implement systematic clear steps to reproduce failures while providing traceability to the bugs/gaps/escapes.

• Collaborate with partner teams to assess test results and generate deviation.

Qualifications and Skills

• BS or equivalent experience in an engineering subject area

• 12+ years of validation experience, with validated ability to craft and implement outstanding product test strategies.

• Deep of knowledge of enterprise SATA & PCIe SSDs, NAND, memory storage hierarchy and enterprise storage. General knowledge of SATA/SAS and/or NVMe storage protocols is a plus.

• Ability to read and understand FW code analyze firmware, software (Windows & Linux), and hardware issues in system with experience in ASIC/ FPGA design and FPGA design tools.

• Embedded C and an understanding of an Object-Oriented Programming language; Python

• Demonstrated technical leadership experience with a proven track record to encourage and lead change.

• Ability to analyze problems, diagnose to root cause, and apply corrective actions

• Experience with Agile product development processes and project management

• Experience with quality and process improvement methodologies and tools (Lean, Six Sigma, value stream mapping, FMEAs, DMAIC) See Less
