Full Job Description

**Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for _all_. ** Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. **Summary of the Role:** As a Senior Engineer on the Firmware & Product Testing (FPT) team, you will support the validation of enterprise SSD firmware through test development, automation, execution, and failure analysis. This role focuses on NVMe front‑end features and customer specifications while applying Python‑based automation and data‑driven techniques to improve test efficiency and product quality. Working closely with firmware test engineers, senior mentors, and data scientists, the engineer gains hands‑on experience at the intersection of firmware validation and AI/ML, contributing to more effective and scalable testing methodologies. **Department Introduction** Firmware & Product Test (FPT) team at Micron Technology holds a pivotal role in validating firmware specifications for SSDs. The team develops comprehensive verification plans, implements these using Python, and ensures strict adherence to NVMe standards and security protocols. Testing methodologies include white-box, grey-box, and black-box approaches conducted on a module-by-module basis throughout firmware development and integration. Validation occurs across multiple environments, including simulation, FPGA prototyping, and prototype hardware. **Key Responsibilities** * Develop and execute **firmware verification plans** for customer specifications and NVMe protocols used in enterprise SSDs, with emphasis on front‑end features (e.g., SMART, Trim, Get Log Page, OCP). * Design and implement **grey‑box, white‑box, and black‑box test methodologies** to verify firmware functionality and robustness. * Analyze failures from **weekly regressions** , perform root‑cause analysis, and clearly document f
