NAND Custom Test Circuit Design Engineer

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. Key Responsibilities:  • Develop, integrate, and optimize custom test circuit architectures for NAND flash memory designs, including transistor-level digital, analog, mixed-signal, monitoring, control, and memory-array interface circuits.  • Interpret product specifications and test requirements; define circuit functionality, interfaces, operating limits, controllability, observability, and validation criteria.  • Create, review, and optimize schematics, device sizing, bias structures, sensing and monitoring paths, multiplexers relevant to test circuits.  • Analyze circuit testability and robustness to ensure compliance with quality, coverage, manufacturability, power, area, and reliability requirements.  • Validate custom test circuits using XA simulations, Verilog simulations, and mixed-signal validation environments.  • Collaborate closely with layout teams on matching, parasitic sensitivity, shielding, routing, guard rings, device placement, and layout-dependent effects; review post-layout results and drive closure.  • Evaluate circuit risks including leakage, contention, floating nodes, device overstress, power sequencing, current density, EM/IR, and long-duration stress conditions.  • Create and debug test sequences and test modes required to control, observe, characterize, and validate custom test circuits at wafer and package levels.  • Work with Product Engineering during first-silicon bring-up, debug and characterization, failure isolation, simulation-to-silicon correlation, and ramp to high-volume production.  • Use laboratory measurements and silicon data to identify root cause and recommend circuit, test-mode, characterization, or screening improvements.  • Apply a Design + AI approach as a core responsibility by using AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows to accelerate circuit review, simulation triage, waveform analysis, root-cause investigation, automation, documentation, and knowledge retrieval while maintaining engineering rigor and sign-off discipline.  • Develop Python or scripting-based automation and AI-enabled solutions that improve design quality, reduce turnaround time, and increase engineering productivity.  • Document test-circuit methodologies, specifications, design decisions, validation results, silicon correlation, and clear technical recommendations.  Required Qualifications and Skills:  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of experience • Relevant hands-on experience in custom/analog circuit design, mixed-signal design, memory peripheral circuit design, or Product Engineering with strong transistor-level circuit and silicon-debug exposure.  • Strong understanding of CMOS device operation, transistor-level circuit design, leakage mechanisms, parasitics, PVT sensitivity, timing, loading,
