Full Job Description
As a Principal Engineer in Micron's HBM Product Engineering Component Validation team, you will be a senior individual contributor responsible for the validation of advanced High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. You will use proven knowledge in dynamic random-access memory and high-bandwidth memory architecture to compose validation coverage, implement and analyze validation runs, lead product debug and failure analysis toward a zero-escape validation goal across test modes and product achievements. You will also adopt AI-enabled ways of working, using enterprise AI tools to accelerate your engineering tasks and improve efficiency, work within Micron's global validation organization and collaborate with groups at different locations. Responsibilities: • Translate DRAM/HBM develop intent and architecture into effective verification scope and test cases. • Contribute to validation of new and high-risk product features, working with Design Validation, and Systems Engineering. • Review design specifications, schematics, and datasheets, provide design feedback and represent the Product Engineering perspective in Design and Verification reviews. • Read, analyze, and debug circuit blueprints to detect design-related failure mechanisms, and recommend approaches for verification and fault diagnosis. • Perform root-cause analysis and examination of electrical failures (debug) of validation findings, distinguishing developed marginality from process and test-related issues. • Apply automation and modern tooling (including Python, C, and C++ coding, Verilog and UVM for simulation) to improve detection efficiency and cycle time. • Adopt agentic and LLM-based workflows - such as automated code generation and review, and failure-analysis / root-cause acceleration, to improve efficiency, quality, and turnaround duration. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field, with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience preferably in the memory semiconductor industry. • Strong understanding of the structure, operation, and build concepts of DRAM and HBM memory technologies. • Proven experience reading and debugging circuit schematics to isolate failure causes linked to develop aspects. • Extensive experience in post-silicon product validation and debug, including root-cause and electrical failure analysis. • Solid experience programming with Linux, Python/C/C++, Verilog, UVM, and version control systems (git, svn, Perforce). Preferred Qualifications: • Experience developing validation coverage and supporting feature or design-issue validation for HBM or advanced DRAM products. • Hands-on experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and with high-speed I/O and signal-integrity validation. • Experience validating products spanning hardware, firmware, and software components. • Experience applying generative-AI or agentic tooling to semiconductor design, test, or validation workflows. • Experience mentoring engineers and collaborating with multi-functional teams across multiple sites and time zones.
