Member of Technical Staff (MTS) – HIG HBM Component Validation

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

As a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) in Micron’s HBM Product Engineering Component Validation team, you will serve as a technical leader and authority for the validation of advanced High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. You will apply deep DRAM and HBM architecture and design knowledge to define validation coverage strategy, lead complex product debug and failure analysis, and drive a zero-escape validation mindset across all test modes and product milestones. Operating within Micron’s global validation organization and partnering closely with teams across multiple sites, you will influence design-intent-to-coverage decisions, mentor engineers, and set the technical direction for current and next-generation HBM validation. Responsibilities and Tasks Technical Leadership & Validation Strategy Act as a technical authority for HBM Component Validation, translating DRAM/HBM design intent and architecture into comprehensive validation coverage and test strategy. Define and own validation methodologies and coverage plans across structural (black-box) and functional test flows, driving toward full validation coverage at each product milestone with zero validation escapes. Lead validation definition and closure for new and high-risk product features, in partnership with Design, Design Validation (DV), and Systems Engineering. Provide advice and counsel to senior management and cross-functional leadership on significant technical issues, risks, and mitigation plans. DRAM & HBM Architecture and Design Apply expert knowledge of DRAM core operation and HBM architecture (channel/pseudo-channel structure, stacked die, logic base die, IEEE 1500 test access, built-in self-test, datasheet timing parameters) to guide validation design and coverage. Review design specifications, schematics, and datasheets; provide design feedback and represent the Product Engineering perspective in Design and Verification reviews. Read, analyze, and debug circuit schematics in depth to isolate design-related failure mechanisms and inform validation coverage and debug direction. Run and interpret timing-accurate circuit simulations to reproduce sightings, correlate silicon behavior to design intent, and validate proposed fixes. Correlate silicon behavior to design intent, informing coverage decisions and identifying low-observability failure modes as memory interface speeds increase. Product Debug & Failure Analysis Lead root-cause analysis and electrical failure analysis (debug) of validation findings, distinguishing design marginality from process and test-related issues. Drive timely, decision-ready debug summaries and disposition for critical product milestones and customer escalations. Develop and validate targeted characterization and debug approaches (e.g., functional-mode data collection, shmoo/margin analysis, eye and signal-integrity checks). Partner with Design Engineering, Design Validation, Reliability, and Systems teams on experiment definition and corrective-action closure. Platform, Test Program & Automation Guide development, troubleshooting, and validation of HBM Component Validation test programs across ATE platforms and in-house test systems. Champion test-time optimization, parallelism, and repeatable execution across sites and equipment. Promote automation and modern tooling (Python/C/C++, Verilog/UVM simulation, version control) to improve detection efficiency and cycle time. Mentorship & Collaboration Mentor and
