Staff Engineer, STPG PE Firmware

During the development phase, you will need to work closely with Test Process Engineers to understand the test requirements to develop the Manufacturing FW to self-test SSDs. During the high volume manufacturing phase, drive continuous improvement initiatives in terms of test coverage to improve DPM and drive TTR improvements through optimization of code. It will also encompass driving Manufacturing FW release and validation plan to ensure smooth integration of the Manufacturing FW released to the production floor. Goal is to ensure that SSD manufactured are tested to meet or exceed the required functionality, usability, quality/reliability and performance with an efficient manufacturing firmware. Involving in End to End product development ,understand the system architecture to come up with new test screens to bring out the early life failures on the media. Get the required knowledge and involve in pre-mfg & MTFW development and validation. Work to improve the yield, quality, reduction in test time in different stages of program. Good C/C++ programming skills with experience in embedded system design and development Manufacturing firmware development experience on complex storage specific memory controllers. Ability to read and understand hardware schematics Debugging the complex production issues using inhouse debug environments.
