We are pleased to announce that Micron has generously offered to come and give a presentation about the career opportunities at Micron. We would love to have you attend to ask questions and drop off resumes so that we can show them what a great department we have!
Date: Wednesday April 13, 2011
Time : 4:30 pm
Location: EE 403
(Refreshments will be provided after the presentation)
Micron will also be conducting interviews with CE/EE students for positions in their Software/Hardware engineering positions, as well as Product Engineers in their Wireless Solutions Group (WSG).
Please see the attached job descriptions for more information.
Hope to see you Wednesday!
The HKN Officers
BOI24604 – Software Engineer – Design Verification
The Design Verification group focuses on finding design flaws that are not easily found by conventional testing methodologies. We run randomly generated test patterns and real-world patterns on production parts and evaluate the results.
As a Design Verification engineer you will be responsible for writing the tools that build random test patterns and convert real-world captures into tester patterns. You will then run these patterns and debugging failures to find the root causes behind the fails. Ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the software tools are expected and you will be responsible for this activity.
Responsibilities:
- Develop tools to create random part activity.
- Develop a software simulator for the memory device
- Develop tools to convert a logic analyzer capture to a tester stimulus patterns.
- Debug failure-inducing sequences to find the root cause of the fail.
- Collaborate, develop, and maintain other software for use by the DV group.
- Read datasheets to determine proper part usage and behavior.
- Communicate with QA and PE engineers regarding results.
Required Qualifications:
C/C++ development experience
Unix environment experience
Beneficial:
Scripting language experience, preferably Python
Knowledge of Finite State Machines
Familiarity with object oriented software design
Familiarity with the workings and basic design of DRAM and NAND memory
Education
B.S. or greater in EE, CE, or CS.
BOI25599 – Competitor Analysis Engineer
As a Competitor Analysis Engineer, at Micron, you will be responsible for researching, planning, organizing, and conducting technical reverse engineering projects within the areas of semiconductor process technology, circuit design and layout, memory architectures, and market competitiveness. In this position you will work with and support the efforts of groups such as Research & Design, Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Marketing, and Legal. Projects are typically focused on, but not limited to, products and markets in which Micron directly competes.
As an Engineer in the Competitor Analysis group at Micron some of your duties will be to perform product teardowns, perform sample preparation using various sample prep tools, operate SEM and other imaging equipment, and perform electrical characterization. You will use the results from the previously mentioned duties to perform process/manufacturing analysis, circuit and architecture extraction, device performance comparisons, and many other reverse engineering projects. Additional responsibilities include internally distributing the results of reverse engineering projects through an internal website, printed media, and presentations.
Successful candidates for this position will have some or all of the following:
Basic knowledge of semiconductor processing and manufacturing.
An understanding of semiconductor memory functionality.
Experience or training in VLSI.
Knowledge and experience in the safe handling of chemicals on a laboratory-scale.
A high level of attention to detail.
A wide range of computer and analytical skills.
The ability to thrive in both an individual and team-based work environment.
Demonstrated self-motivation and the ability to take ownership of assigned projects.
A strong work ethic.
Good communication and organizational skills.
Preferred candidates will have completed the coursework:
(Please highlight in resume or cover letter)
Circuit analysis and design
VLSI
Semiconductor device physics
Semiconductor process analysis
Fundamental chemistry
Education:
Bachelor Degree in one of these degrees or a related discipline:
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Material Science
