## Description

* NAND Management
 + Maintain NAND flash operation flows, including program, read, and erase sequences across multiple channels, dies, and planes.
 + Implement bad block management, read-retry mechanisms, and error recovery flows to ensure data integrity.
 + Analyze and mitigate NAND-specific issues such as read disturb, program disturb, retention loss, and endurance degradation.
 + Optimize parallelism to fully utilize NAND bandwidth and improve throughput under mixed workloads.
 * DRAM Bring-Up and Stability Verification
 + Configure memory controller parameters, timing settings, and power-on sequences.
 + Verify DRAM read/write correctness through functional and stress testing.
 * SSD Boot-Up Flow
 + Maintain the SSD boot-up sequence, including firmware loading and system initialization.
 * Peripheral Control and FW/HW Interface
 + Develop firmware for peripherals such as temperature sensors, power monitors, and GPIO-based controls.
 * Debug and Validation
 + Capture and analyze NAND waveforms using logic analyzers and oscilloscopes to verify timing compliance.
 + Debug DRAM initialization, training, and boot-up-related issues, providing root-cause analysis and firmware fixes.
