Originally posted 28 September 2026 by the employer.
Develop and automate test content for Micron solid-state storage products.
About the role
This role involves designing, developing, and automating test content for solid-state storage products. The position contributes to feature validation, test method innovation, requirements analysis, and execution of validation workflows across multiple technologies and platforms.
What you'll do
- Create automated test cases for functional, performance, power, interoperability, stress, and negative-testing scenarios. - Build and maintain test tools, utilities, and frameworks in Python or equivalent languages. - Execute validation plans across multiple hardware, OS, and platform configurations. - Investigate failures using logs, analyzers, debug tools, and structured root-cause methods. - Contribute to CI-based automated regression systems and reporting dashboards.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. - Developing automated tests for storage devices or embedded systems, including creating new test cases, test flows, and reusable validation components. - Python or related Scripting languages. - Ability to interpret and implement customer-specific test requirements, compliance documents, and feature specifications into executable validation content. - Structured development methodologies: requirements breakdown, feature-based test planning, code reviews, CI/automation practices, and version control workflows. - Experience with test execution environments, including use of analyzers, logs, and debugging tools to validate features and diagnose failures. - Knowledge of SSD fundamentals, including NAND behavior, basic FTL concepts, and high-level controller architecture.
