Full Job Description
  • Primary technical point of contact: represent Micron's Data Center SSD roadmap, architecture, and qualification plans directly to strategic hyperscale and OEM customer engineering and technical leadership.


  • Requirements translation: lead the gathering and translation of customer specifications, RFIs/RFQs, and platform constraints into clear product requirements (MRDs) and engineering-actionable decisions.


  • Industry and standards influence: represent Micron in ecosystem and standards forums (e.g., PCIe-SIG, OCP, JEDEC), building external credibility and shaping specifications relevant to Micron's product direction.


  • Customer qualification and transition planning: coordinate engineering and qualification samples, qualification schedules, and escalation paths to keep customer platform timelines (EVT/DVT/PVT) on track.


  • Relationship building: build durable, trust-based relationships with customer technical and program stakeholders, positioning Micron as a preferred long-term partner rather than a transactional supplier.


Working Across Engineering, Sales, and Management

  • Engineering alignment: align ASIC, firmware, and systems engineering teams around customer- and market-driven priorities, translating external requirements into technical tradeoff discussions and driving decisions when priorities conflict.


  • Sales and segment partnership: partner with segment and sales leadership to shape account strategy, volume forecasts, and positioning, ensuring product plans reflect commercial priorities and commercial plans reflect technical reality.


  • Executive communication: brief executive and cross-functional leadership on program status, risks, and strategic recommendations, serving as a clear, credible voice on complex technical and customer topics.


  • Cross-functional coordination: work closely with NPI, Business Operations, and Technical Customer Management (TCM)/FAE teams to keep customer commitments, supply plans, and qualification milestones synchronized.


  • Mentorship and scale: mentor other product managers and technical program managers, scaling technical depth and customer-engagement practices across the broader product management organization.


Product & Technical Ownership

  • Own end-to-end product requirements and technical strategy for one or more SSD product lines, from concept through qualification and volume ramp.


  • Drive technical tradeoff decisions across NAND, controller/ASIC, firmware, and system-level interfaces, balancing performance, cost, schedule, and customer commitments.


  • Identify and pursue innovation opportunities - including invention disclosures, new architecture approaches, and process or tooling improvements - that scale impact beyond a single program.
  • Leveraging AI to enchance work efficiency and effectiveness.
