Senior Hardware Functional Safety Engineer (DRAM)

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.

The Senior Engineer in Hardware Functional Safety will play a pivotal role within the AEBU’s Functional Safety Office, supplying significantly to Micron’s prominence in the Automotive and Industrial sectors through collaborative Functional Safety initiatives. This professional will lead technical projects to ensure Micron’s DRAM products align with global Functional Safety standards like ISO 26262!

You will engage in the functional safety analysis of our products, owning the identification of failure modes, devising strategies to quantify impact, applying detection strategies, analysis dependencies, supplying to safety documentation for customers, and addressing new challenges posed by emerging technologies!

Responsibilities and Tasks will include, but are not limited to the following: 

• Working with DRAM Product architect in defining assumed Top Level safety requirements for SEooC (Safety Element out of Context) products

• Estimate FIT for the entire DRAM chip according to relevant reliability standards

• Calculate the distribution of FIT to each block of the device with a weighted methodology (Area or transistors count)

• Enumerate possible failure mode of each block and allocate FIT for each of these

• Resolve effects of Failure to the top-level safety goals of the DRAM

• Verify that the architecture solutions defined in the concept phase are sufficient to detect the effect or the root cause of the failure mode, where gaps exist driving solutions in an iterative way

• Participate to the internal analysis of the dependencies (i.e common cause's failure, cascading failures) with the so-called Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) identifying impacts to the safety concept and driving solutions

• Participate to formal internal reviews of the technical content of multiple safety artifacts

• Participate as an authority in external and internal audits and assessments for FuSa collateral for design ID specific technical content

• Develop customer safety collaterals like Safety Manual, Safety Analysis Report and PinFMEA

• Build internal training material and development of informative programs at Company level

Preferred Experience:  

• Bachelor's Degree, higher education preferred

• DRAM Architecture experience with knowledge of block level function and interactions (Preferred)

• DRAM design or engineering experience (Design/PE/Qual)

• DRAM package knowledge - including ranks/channels, ballout/netlist, and temperature concepts (thermal impedance, ambient and junction temperature, etc)

• Semiconductor experience together with DRAM validated experience is a plus

• General knowledge of single event upset events

• System-level knowledge is preferred (auto/industrial)
