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 a systems software engineer in Micron's Storage and Memory Systems (SMS) group within TPG Pathfinding, you will employ diverse software engineering skills. Your focus will be on exploring future memory architectures for high-performance compute and AI systems!

This role focuses on exploring future memory architectures for HPC and AI through systems‑level software engineering. You will work across new heterogeneous hardware systems, develop enabling system software, integrate hardware and software in lab environments, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to validate emerging technologies. The position is hybrid and based in Richardson, TX.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop system software that configures, enables, and integrates proof‑of‑concept hardware systems.

  • Build applications and libraries using C, C++, Python, Rust, SYCL and/or CUDA for advanced heterogeneous systems.

  • Port, optimize, and analyze scientific compute, parallel processing, and AI applications across novel memory/compute architectures.

  • Improve software engineering tools, workflows, and development processes.

  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to root‑cause and resolve system‑level integration issues.

  • Perform Linux system software development, driver development, and embedded systems software tasks as needed.

  • Conduct hardware/software bring‑up, modeling/emulation development, and application adaptation for new platforms.

  • Work with technical leads and system architects to plan work, clarify evolving requirements, and support pathfinding objectives.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s (7+ yrs exp), Master’s (5+ yrs), or PhD (3+ yrs) in CE/SE/CS or related field.

  • Strong C, C++, Python, and shell scripting skills, plus Linux programming expertise (multithreading, IPC, ioctl, gdb, /proc, /sysfs).

  • Experience writing drivers or user‑space software interacting with low‑level hardware registers and system specifications.

  • Proven ability to debug system‑level issues spanning application, kernel, libraries, and hardware boundaries.

  • Familiarity with software team tools (e.g., JIRA, Git, Jenkins) and strong understanding of compute/memory architecture, caching, and virtual memory.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Embedded systems development, environment bring‑up, and hardware/software integration experience.

  • Understanding of parallel computing, shared memory, interconnects, and heterogeneous systems (PCIe, CXL, NVLink, UALink).

  • Knowledge of GPU programming (CUDA, SYCL, OpenCL, PyTorch) and GPU offload memory hierarchies.

  • Familiarity with filesystems, emerging filesystem technologies, and large‑scale parallelization libraries (OpenMP, MPI, oneAPI).

  • Willingness to work on rapidly changing, broad software tasks in a pathfinding environment with strong communication and teamwork skills.
