## Description

Join Micron's Data Center Workload Engineering team and help transform information into intelligence. As a Senior Systems Performance Engineer, you will identify and improve the performance of our memory and storage products in data center systems. This role gives you the chance to work with innovative technology, understand performance limits, and implement improvements successfully. You will collaborate closely with SSD architects, product engineers, and customer teams in this hands-on, individual-contributor position.
## Responsibilities:

 * Conduct repeatable studies of AI, database, virtualization, or distributed-storage workloads on production-class systems.
 * Plan tests with clear hypotheses, realistic configurations, and appropriate controls.
 * Trace application I/O through the system to the SSD, measuring efficiency, completion time, scaling, tail latency, consistency, and power.
 * Identify bottlenecks and test SSD features, system architectures, and competing solutions. Provide data-backed recommendations for improvements.
 * Develop test automation and analysis tools, including AI-assisted workflows. Share findings through engineering reports, presentations, and customer-facing technical material.
