Job Description
Sandisk is seeking an accomplished and highly technical Technologist, Product Development Engineering to lead the development, qualification, and production readiness of next-generation memory and storage products. This role is critical in ensuring product quality, reliability, yield, and cost competitiveness across the full product lifecycle-from early silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing.
As a Technologist, you will serve as a technical authority within Product Development Engineering, influencing product architecture, validation strategy, test methodology, and system-level behavior. The ideal candidate brings deep semiconductor domain expertise, strong programming and data analysis capabilities, foundational AI/ML skills applied to engineering problems, and proven technical leadership. This role requires solving complex, cross-layer issues spanning silicon, test, and system interactions while mentoring engineers and driving technical excellence across teams.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Product Development & Qualification
- Lead product development, characterization, and qualification activities for advanced memory and storage technologies from NPI through high-volume production
- Define and execute comprehensive validation strategies aligned with quality, reliability, and manufacturability objectives
- Own technical readiness assessments, identify risks, and drive mitigation plans to enable on-time and high-quality product releases
- Serve as a technical authority for complex electrical, functional, and system-level issues encountered during development and production
- Lead deep-dive failure analysis and root-cause investigations across silicon, test, firmware, and system domains
- Drive cross-functional corrective action plans and ensure lessons learned are embedded into future designs and workflows
- Architect and optimize test flows, coverage strategies, and screening methodologies using Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
- Drive Design for Test (DFT) methodologies into product and test implementations
- Partner with test engineering, design, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver scalable, cost-effective, and robust test solutions
- Leverage large-scale test and manufacturing data to identify trends, accelerate debug, improve yield, and reduce test cost
- Develop automation, analysis, and infrastructure tools using Python, C, or C++
- Apply foundational AI/ML techniques and statistical methods to enhance test optimization, anomaly detection, and failure analysis
- Collaborate globally with design, device, firmware, system, manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams
- Communicate complex technical findings clearly to diverse audiences, including senior technical leadership
- Influence technical decisions using strong engineering judgment and data-driven recommendations
- Mentor engineers and technologists, strengthening technical fundamentals, ownership, and analytical rigor
- Lead technical reviews, design discussions, and post-silicon analysis forums
- Promote a culture of innovation, engineering discipline, and continuous improvement
REQUIRED:
- Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a closely related technical field
- Minimum of 8 years of relevant industry experience in semiconductor product development, test engineering, reliability engineering, or a related technical discipline
- Deep expertise in NAND, DRAM, or SSD technologies, including device-level behavior, controller interaction, and system-level performance characteristics
- Proven proficiency with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms such as Advantest or Teradyne
- Strong programming skills in Python, C, and/or C++, with hands-on experience in automation, test…
