Senior Manager, DRAM Development Quality Design and Live Die Reliability

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

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.

As Senior Manager of Design DQA, you will lead a team responsible for shift-left, preventive quality and reliability activities related to Design and Live Die Reliability. You and your team will identify New, Unique, Difficult, and Different (NUDD) design and live die risks for each product in the DRAM portfolio and drive cross-functional teams to validate and mitigate identified risks prior to qualification. Your team will also analyze design live die related qualification failures, customer issues, and internal escalations to identify gaps in our existing processes and ensure that these gaps are addressed on existing and future products. You and your team will be the Design and Live Die subject matter experts (SMEs) for DEMQRA and GQ, and act as technical advisors for complex issues and assist in risk assessments for those issues. You'll also create new or enhance existing processes, projects, and programs to strengthen preventive DRAM Design and Live Die quality and reliability at Micron.
