About The Position

Seeking a self-motivated, team-oriented Hardware Architect to develop Micron’s next generation Solid State Drive (SSD) products. We build the hardware that powers next-generation storage. Our team brings together deep technical expertise and hands-on problem solving to create SSD solutions that are fast, efficient, and built for scale. We work closely across disciplines, move quickly, and take pride in delivering designs that make a real impact. This role is central to shaping how our SSD platforms are architected and delivered. You will drive key hardware decisions, influence system-level performance, and collaborate with experienced engineers to bring complex designs from concept to production. If you enjoy solving challenging problems and owning critical pieces of the design, this is a great fit. This position requires experience in hardware architecture, design, power integrity; including modeling and implementations. A successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of commercially available PMICs and voltage regulators for low voltage designs. Experience with PCB design tools (simulation and analysis) and a thorough understanding of hardware development methodologies is a plus.
