Firmware FA engineer Firmware engineer

Role : Firmware FA engineer / Firmware engineer

Location : San Jose CA or Longmont CO

Duration : 6 Months Contract

JobDescription

As a Firmware FA Engineerin the Solid State Drives (SSD) group at Micron Technology you willdevelop firmware functional integration activities that ensures thefirmware subsystem meets the quality functional and performancerequirements required at each integration landmark in the productdevelopment lifecycle develop and deliver a functional integritytest process that is capable of continuously improvingpreintegration firmware quality perform failure analysis onFirmware issues and determine root cause for Enterprise Solid StateDrives products.

This rolealso involves designing automated solutions to exercise firmwarefunctionality verify reliability endurance and performancerequirements of Solid State Drives for the enterprisemarket.

You can expect to work closely withfellow firmware test engineers firmware developers system hardwaredesign engineers product engineers Flash memory design engineersand production engineers to solve crossfunctional designissues.

As needed you will verify design using avariety of verification methods including simulation FPGAprototyping and product testing.

Your focus willbe on firmware quality in the system and the target applicationdevelop new test tools and methods.

Usinganalysis equipment or software you will demonstrate the effectiveanalysis of functional or performance issues with the firmware andhardware in test environments or target host systems.
