SSD Hardware Architect Engineer

Description

Seeking a self-motivated, team-oriented Hardware Architect to develop Micron’s next generation Solid State Drive (SSD) products.

We build the hardware that powers next-generation storage using AI agents. Our team brings together deep technical expertise and hands-on problem solving to create SSD solutions that are fast, efficient, and built for scale. We work closely across disciplines, move quickly, and take pride in delivering designs that make a real impact.

This role is central to shaping how our SSD platforms are architected and delivered. You will drive key hardware decisions, influence system-level performance, and collaborate with experienced engineers to bring complex designs from concept to production. If you enjoy solving challenging problems and owning critical pieces of the design, this is a great fit.

This position requires experience in hardware architecture, design, power integrity; including modeling and implementations. A successful candidate will have a good working knowledge of commercially available PMICs and voltage regulators for low voltage designs. Experience with PCB design tools (simulation and analysis) and a thorough understanding of hardware development methodologies is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Define hardware architectures and participate in design reviews and requirements development for SSD products
• Design power topologies and ensure strong power integrity across subsystems
• Simulate and analyze designs, providing recommendations to improve performance and reliability
• Collaborate across firmware, system, and validation teams to meet product requirements
• Mentor engineers and contribute technical guidance across the hardware team

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or computer engineering
• 10+ years of experience in hardware design and system architecture
• Strong foundation in circuit design, transmission line fundamentals, and power & signal integrity
• Experience with PCB design, high-speed routing, and power subsystem implementation
• Proficiency with simulation tools such as SPICE, IBIS, or Hspice

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or computer engineering
• Experience designing hardware for large-scale manufacturing including DFx considerations
• Hands-on experience with power integrity analysis in lab environments
• Familiarity with PCB stack-up design, via technologies, and design constraint definition
• Strong communication skills and experience guiding or mentoring engineers
