## About the Role

* Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
 * C, C++ experience
 * Ability to read and reason about schematics, datasheets, and timing diagrams to debug software-hardware interactions
 * General lab equipment knowledge (oscilloscopes, DMMs), Experience in Linux and the GNU toolchain
 * Experience debugging embedded systems at the signal and register level, Experience with common hardware interfaces (e.g., GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe)

Preferred Qualifications

 * C, C++ and Python proficiency, Container experience, Bare metal development experience
 * Ability to review PCB layouts for software-relevant concerns (power, clocks, interfaces)
 * Board bring-up experience or close collaboration during hardware bring-up, Experience correlating firmware behavior with electrical measurements
 * Debugging timing, signal integrity, or power-related issues impacting software behavior, Experience building physical systems (software + hardware).
 * Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve software design, implementation, testing, and debugging.

## Description

Our Equipment Software Design team is looking to hire a driven embedded software engineer. This engineer will build embedded software running on bare metal to embedded Linux as well as higher level interface software. You will work with other software engineers and other engineering disciplines to create custom in-house semiconductor equipment from the ground up. This role requires deep understanding of hardware behavior to design, debug, and optimize software that directly controls custom electronic systems., * Design : Develop new and modify existing equipment in cross-discipline design teams (software, electrical, control, and mechanical engineers).

 * Code : Develop in C, C++, Bash, and Python on bare metal and under RHEL compatible Linux distros in containers.
 * Manufacture : Work with New Product Introduction, and Operation teams in the manufacturing of equipment.
 * Innovate : Our design team is challenged with projects to keep Micron competitive in the marketplace. Our designs frequently provide solutions that no one else has addressed. We design what doesn't exist yet.
 * Support : work to improve existing designs, responding to manufacturing and production support.
 * Hands-On Work : Daily hands-on work with electronics, computers, and in-house and third-party equipment in a lab environment.
 * Hardware Debug: Debug software-hardware interactions using schematics, datasheets, and lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, SMUs) to independently root-cause system-level issues.
 * Collaborate : Work in a cross-discipline design team with members in Boise Idaho, San Jose California, Penang Malaysia, and Hyderabad India.
