Sr Design Readiness Engineer
Micron TechnologyJob Title
Sr Design Readiness Engineer
Role Summary
Lead design readiness for new DRAM products across design, validation, and manufacturing readiness activities. Work with cross-functional teams to identify and mitigate product risks, drive silicon debug and root-cause analysis, and influence product release decisions.
Experience Level
Senior — role expects significant industry experience; no explicit years-of-experience specified.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include planning and executing readiness and validation activities, driving technical investigations, and improving readiness processes.
- Lead design readiness activities: risk assessments, DFMEA development, validation planning, and readiness reviews for DRAM products.
- Partner with design, validation, manufacturing, test, and product teams to define validation coverage and prioritize debug activities.
- Drive root-cause investigations of silicon findings via data analysis, experiment planning, evidence review, and corrective-action development.
- Translate design intent, validation results, silicon behavior, manufacturing constraints, and customer expectations into product readiness decisions.
- Mentor engineers, lead technical workstreams, and improve technical practices and readiness processes across DRAM programs.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.
- Significant experience in semiconductor design, DRAM or memory technology, silicon validation, product engineering, device characterization, circuit debug, reliability, test development, or new product introduction.
- Proven ability to analyze complex technical problems using silicon data, validation results, circuit behavior, failure analysis, and statistical methods.
- Experience leading technical investigations, root-cause analysis, and cross-functional resolution efforts.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence technical decisions across engineering organizations.
- Preferred: experience mentoring engineers, establishing engineering protocols, or improving product quality and test coverage.
- Preferred: expertise in silicon debug, screen development, production test coverage, margin characterization, and quality improvement.
- Preferred: familiarity with AI-enabled engineering tools and agentic AI assistants for analysis, documentation, or workflow automation.
Education Requirements
Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical field is listed; equivalent industry experience is explicitly accepted. Preferred qualifications mention MS or PhD in a relevant engineering or scientific field.
