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 Firmware Test Engineering (Enterprise SSD) team at Micron Technology holds a pivotal role in validating firmware specifications for SSDs. The team develops comprehensive verification plans, implements these using Python, and ensures strict alignmnet to NVMe standards and security protocols. Testing methodologies include white-box, grey-box, and black-box approaches conducted on a module-by-module basis throughout firmware development and integration. Validation occurs across multiple environments, including simulation, FPGA prototyping, and prototype hardware.

If you have a keen interest in semiconductors and memory testing, and enjoy devising innovative solutions through software programming, this opportunity may be ideal for you. As a FTE Intern, you will assist in designing and executing grey-box, white-box, and black-box tests to verify firmware functionality for next-generation high-performance mass storage SSD controllers. You will support verification efforts for design integrity, reliability, and performance requirements of Solid State Drives targeted at the enterprise market. The role provides extensive collaboration with project management, firmware test engineers, developers, and system hardware design professionals to address cross-disciplinary challenges. This internship delivers practical experience in SSD validation processes.
