Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Job description

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.

Summary

Department Introduction:
Micron Technology is a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing, focused on transforming how the world uses information to enrich life for all! The Systems Integration Group (SIG) designs and builds custom, in-house equipment that enables Micron to achieve advantages in cost, capability, and time to market. The team works across software, electrical, mechanical, and control engineering to deliver innovative solutions for advanced memory manufacturing.

Position Overview:
As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Equipment Software Design team, you will develop software that directly controls custom semiconductor equipment. You will work across the full stack from bare metal to Linux-based systems and collaborate closely with hardware teams to design, debug, and optimize complex systems. This role requires strong hands-on experience with hardware debugging, lab validation, and system-level problem solving.

Successful candidates for this role do more than write embedded code—they can reason about how electronics behave, use lab measurements to validate assumptions, and work side-by-side with electrical engineers to root-cause system issues. If your experience is primarily application software or firmware development without substantial hardware debug, this role is likely not a fit. This role is best suited for engineers who have personally debugged real hardware in the lab; coursework exposure or limited schematic familiarity alone is not enough.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded software for custom semiconductor equipment in collaboration with multi-functional teams.
• Develop and debug code using C, C++, Python, and Bash across bare metal and Linux environments.
• Analyze and resolve system-level issues by debugging hardware-software interactions using schematics and lab tools.
• Perform hands-on validation and solving using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Support equipment bring-up, manufacturing, and production by improving designs and resolving technical issues.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams to deliver integrated hardware and software solutions.
• Contribute to new equipment development by building innovative solutions that improve performance and capability.
• Document designs, test results, and debugging processes to support knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent  AND 3+ years of embedded software development tightly coupled to custom hardware
• Strong proficiency in C and C++
• Demonstrated ability to read schematics and trace hardware/software interfaces during debug
• Working knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuits sufficient to understand signal paths, measurement techniques, and common failure modes
• Hands-on experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and power supplies to debug real systems
• Comfortable debugging issues that span firmware, board-level electronics, and electromechanical interactions

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in embedded software development for hardware-interfacing systems
• Experience with Python, Bash, and Linux-based development environments (including GNU toolchain)
• Experience debugging analog front ends, ADC/DAC paths, and signal integrity issues
• Experience programmatically interfacing with lab equipment for testing and validation
• Familiarity with Linux device drivers, kernel-level debugging, or PCIe hardware and software layers
