PQRA Engineer Aerospace & Defense

Job Description As a Product Quality and Reliability Assurance (PQRA) Qualification Engineer focused on Aerospace & Defense (A&D) at Micron Technology, Inc., you will lead and support qualification and ongoing monitoring of DRAM/NAND/ memory products intended for high‑reliability and mission‑critical applications. You will help develop reliability methodologies and controls aligned to A&D expectations, and you will respond to product deviations as they pertain to quality and reliability.

You will establish and enforce requirements such as specifications, Defects per Million (DPM), Failure In Time (FIT), and lifetime/mission profile expectations, and you will ensure compliance to applicable customer and industry standards, including NASA/GSFC PEM‑INST‑001 and relevant military standards for semiconductor components. In this role, you will coordinate with Engineering, Manufacturing, and external test partners to ensure qualification, lot‑level up screening, screening, and acceptance practices are in place, executed correctly, and auditable.

You will perform risk assessments, support manufacturing teams with reliability issues, and continually build product, process, and standards knowledge.

Responsibilities and Tasks Conduct New Product Qualification (including A&D qualification and lot‑level up screening)
Define qualification and acceptance requirements (specifications) for commercial, automotive‑baseline, and A&D variants, including screening/qualification steps aligned to PEM‑INST‑001 and applicable military standards

Understand DRAM/NAND failure mechanisms and failure rates within the scope of qualification, including A&D environmental stressors (temperature extremes, vibration/shock sensitivity, handling/ESD/EOS risk) and packaging integrity concerns

Perform risk assessment at all decision points within the qualification cycle, with explicit evaluation of standards gaps, customer mission profile, and lot/date‑code definition and traceability needs for A&D shipments

Review qualification and up screening data (internal and external test house) and sign off that requirements have been met, including review of test conditions, sample plans, and objective evidence needed for audits

Issue internal product release notifications and lot acceptance dispositions for A&D material, ensuring documentation completeness, configuration control, and alignment to defined release/acceptance criteria

Develop Product Reliability Methodology, Monitors, Metrics, and Specifications (with A&D applicability)
Coordinate with research and development, test, package reliability, and product engineering teams to define A&D qualification strategy, data needs, and timing

Understand new DRAM/NAND processes/technologies and packaging changes for potential reliability issues relevant to A&D use (including handling sensitivity, moisture robustness, and long‑life wear‑out mechanisms)
Develop and maintain reliability tests and monitor strategies to assess emerging failure mechanisms; when applicable, ensure equivalency/mapping to PEM‑INST‑001 expectations (e.g., preconditioning/reflow simulation, temperature cycling, burn‑in/HTOL, and package integrity checks)
Coordinate/drive necessary specification definition and updates for existing products, including addenda for A&D flows (screening, lot/date‑code controls, and acceptance criteria) and alignment to internal governance processes

Establish and Enforce Quality Requirements (A&D, Military, and Space grade)
Establish, review, and communicate reliability metrics (FIT, lifetime, mission profile assumptions) and ensure they are appropriate for A&D applications

Establish, review, and communicate quality metrics (DPM/PPM, excursion escape risk, screening yield/percent defective limits where applicable) for A&D programs

Assess deviations for DRAM/NAND product quality…
