The position will require the individual to lead Micron 7550 and 7600 SSD products customer qualifications, by utilizing customer provided systems/servers to test Micron products according to customer specific requirements and Open Compute Project (OCP) specifications. They will conduct system and device level testing, debug & triage Micron device issues and work with cross-functional teams to resolve. They will be responsible for designing and implementing SSD testing infrastructure for better testing productivity and efficiency.

Partner multi-functionally and cross-site with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and other engineering groups to collaborate in developing strategies to implement validation deliverables. Serve as the subject matter expert for validation on customer test requirements, associated industry certifications and results. Review and challenge current test plans, coverage, and testing activities to drive both increased effectiveness and efficiencies across the product portfolio. Recommend and instrument new validation approaches that drive better coverage, more accurate testing, and expanded testing services. Utilize technical, project, and delegation experience to actively lead product test cycles. Requirement Analysis Maintain knowledge of product functionality and associated industry certifications. Study of product requirements to intensify stability. Identification of suitable testing equipment Feedback & influence product design for the definition and implementation of new requirements/performances. Plan test schedules or strategies in accordance with project scope and delivery dates. Validation Strategy Definition of test cases to verify functional and not functional requirements are compliance to system requirements. Work with product design for test cases developing coherently with FW and HW architecture. Identification of PASS/FAIL criteria for test cases in term of number of cycles, statistical and temperature. Enable shift-left efforts to move detection of failures from customer tests to internal-developed and maintained test frameworks. Define the Test Implementation Strategy and Software Architecture to encompass both development and debug. Define, plan and execute a test automation strategy, to contribute to the on-going development of in-house automation frameworks/tools. Constantly evaluate, refine and enforce validation processes/methodologies. Develop test cases and test scripts Test Execution Supplying and Pre-formatting of samples for validation. Execution of Product Validation flow to match programmed validation plan Monitoring of test time – Test time reduction Results analysis – Bin Pareto Report Generation - Report data in a clear format including concise comments about findings. Track document revision to provide historical reference. Defect Management Root-cause and drive failures coming from upstream/downstream validation teams, customers and other partners to closure, while also articulating the associated risk. Implement systematic clear steps to reproduce failures while providing traceability to the bugs/gaps/escapes. Collaborate with partner teams to assess test results and generate deviation.
Employer will accept a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or related field followed by five (5) years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience in job offered or in a Systems Design/Architect Engineer-related occupation.
