Senior/Staff Product Development Engineer, NAND

Job Title

Senior/Staff Product Development Engineer, NAND

Role Summary

Responsible for developing and validating test flows and test strategies for Micron's 3D NAND test chips. The role sits in Non-Volatile Engineering (NVE) and collaborates with Test Solutions, Design Engineering, Process Integration, and Yield teams to verify testmodes, automate workflows, and diagnose device issues from pre-silicon simulation through post-silicon validation.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical background: 6+ years in VLSI or semiconductor engineering, with experience in mixed-signal design, test, or product development.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include pre- and post-silicon test development, device characterization, and cross-team collaboration to improve yield and debug failures.

• Develop and validate NAND testchip test flows and test strategies.
• Run pre-silicon Verilog (digital) and analog simulations to verify testmodes.
• Define and improve post-silicon testing methods for experimental designs and process/debug issues at R&D and manufacturing sites.
• Perform device characterization and electrical failure analysis (EFA).
• Collaborate with Test Solutions Engineering on test code development and automation.
• Work with Design Engineering on testmode implementation, pre-silicon verification, and post-silicon validation.
• Partner with Process Integration and Yield Engineering to improve die yield and meet critical testchip milestones.
• Leverage AI and automation tools to improve test tools, workflows, and build efficiency.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.

Must-have

• 6+ years of experience in VLSI or the semiconductor industry.
• Strong foundation in mixed-signal VLSI: analog circuits, digital logic, and RTL design.
• Experience with bench testing equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, Nextest Magnum or similar).
• Programming/scripting skills (examples: C/C++, Python, Perl); familiarity with Verilog and Verilog-AMS.
• Knowledge of firmware/assembly-level programming.
• Data analysis, statistical methods, and problem-solving skills applied to device/testing data.
• Effective communication, presentation skills, and ability to collaborate across functions.
• Self-motivated with a track record of partnering successfully with cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-have

• Knowledge of Flash memory architecture and operation.
• Experience with Yield3, JMP, or similar statistical/data-analysis tools.
• Familiarity with WREAL or other mixed-signal simulation tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Relevant coursework or experience in VLSI, semiconductor process, and semiconductor devices is expected.
