** 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.
Micron's SSD Firmware team is seeking a Principal Firmware Engineer to drive the architectural direction of next-generation Solid State Drive development. In this role, you will serve as a technical leader responsible for driving firmware architecture across development teams, validating the product roadmap and customer requirements, and providing high-level debug support across the firmware stack. You will partner closely with cross-functional engineering teams to accelerate development, resolve complex firmware issues, and deliver world-class SSD products for enterprise and prototype applications.
This is a high-impact, hands-on technical leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of architecture, cross-team collaboration, and deep problem-solving.
** Responsibilities
* ** Drive firmware architecture for next-generation SSD platforms, ensuring development teams have clear direction, specifications, and design standards to execute against
* Design, develop, and test firmware and tools for advanced SSD development, writing structured source code targeting the embedded environment associated with state-of-the-art memory
* Provide high-level debug, troubleshooting, and failure analysis across firmware applications, the firmware stack, ASIC/FPGA/system bring-up, and host system integration — utilizing analog and digital hardware and software operating systems to conduct analysis across development and test environments
* Validate customer requirements and the product roadmap, championing firmware quality in the system and target application
* Collaborate across multiple engineering teams, providing architectural guidance, supporting distributed code reviews, and driving alignment through technical reviews, design documentation, and regular cross-team communication (verbal and written)
* Develop and refine test tools, methods, and frameworks that improve firmware development efficiency, debug workflows, and test coverage
* Review and contribute to technical documentation and deliverables that meet both internal specifications/standards and SSD industry standards and specifications
** Basic Qualifications
*** Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
* 7+ years of firmware development experience, with a strong foundation in embedded systems, controller-level software, and analog/digital hardware and software operating systems
* Proficiency in machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages (e.g., C, C++, Python) for embedded systems development
* Hands-on experience with ASIC/FPGA/system bring-up, system-level debug, and failure analysis in a firmware context
* Experience driving technical direction across multiple engineering teams, with strong written and verbal communication skills
** Preferred Qualifications
*** Master's degree or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
* 10+ years of firmware development experience in SSD or related storage products, with experience driving firmware architecture from concept through production
* Strong understanding of the SSD data path, including FTL, NVMe/PCIe protocols, and NAND/media management
* Familiarity with verification/validation methodologies, simulation environments, automated test frameworks, and Python scripting for tool development and automation
* Knowledge of AI/ML concepts and their application to everyday firmware development workflows
