Staff Design Reliability Verification Engineer
Micron TechnologyJob Title
Staff Design Reliability Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Lead development and execution of reliability verification for DRAM products by defining stress patterns, running simulations, and collaborating with design and product teams to ensure product reliability and manufacturability.
The role partners with technology, marketing, quality, and product engineering groups to evaluate high-risk reliability mechanisms, support silicon validation and qualification, and improve verification tools and methods.
Experience Level
Senior-level engineer; employer specifies approximately 5 years (60 months) of progressive post-baccalaureate experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include planning and executing reliability verification and driving alignment across teams.
- Plan, develop, and oversee stress patterns to increase reliability coverage across DRAM products.
- Perform modeling and simulation using industry-standard simulators to validate reliability mechanisms.
- Work with product, marketing, quality, and manufacturing engineering to ensure accurate manufacturability and customer usage alignment.
- Coordinate with standards, CAD, modeling, and verification groups to improve design quality and standardization.
- Evaluate high-risk reliability mechanisms with technology teams and advise on silicon reliability issues.
- Support silicon validation and qualification phases for product release.
- Analyze and debug circuits down to the device level related to degradation mechanisms.
- Develop and improve reliability verification tools, methodologies, and simulation models.
- Engage in technical forums for continuous improvement and mentor junior engineers.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and tools for the role.
- CMOS operation and circuit design experience.
- Experience with analog/digital simulation tools (examples: HSPICE, VerilogHDL, FINESIM, SimVision, WaveViewer).
- Familiarity with CMOS degradation mechanisms such as NBTI or CHC.
- Experience with reliability modeling and simulation tools.
- Proficiency in Python for tool development and data analysis.
- Practical experience in reliability verification, stress-pattern development, or silicon validation/qualification.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field plus 60 months (5 years) of progressive post-baccalaureate experience in the job offered or a related occupation (as stated by the employer).
