Engineer, Demqra Automotive Pqre

Req  ENGINEER, DEMQRA AUTOMOTIVE PQRE

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 develop reliability methodologies, respond to product deviations, establish and enforce requirements such as specifications, DPM per million, FIT, lifetime/mission profile expectations, and ensure compliance with customer and industry standards, including NASA/GSFC PEM‑INST‑001 and relevant military standards for semiconductor components.

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.

• 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 R&D, 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 and reliability risk, including impact to A&D lots/date codes and any required notifications or customer commitments.
  • Define evaluations and containment needed to mitigate risk (e.g., additional screening, hold/release criteria, expanded analysis, or external lab confirmation) in alignment with standards and contractual requirements.
  • Review excursion analysis and ensure root cause, corrective actions, and objective evidence meet A&D rigor (traceability, configuration control, and…
