• Collect, document, and organize test results for engineering review.

• Perform visual inspection of devices, components, and hardware to identify abnormalities.

• Assist engineers in reproducing failure conditions and gathering debug data.

• Maintain accurate records of failure symptoms, test conditions, and characterization results.

Support Reliability and Qualification Testing

• Prepare samples for reliability evaluation and qualification testing.

• Monitor reliability testing activities and report issues promptly.

• Perform data collection and preliminary result verification.

• Support qualification, engineering, and manufacturing investigations.

• Assist with customer-return (RMA) sample handling and tracking.

Support Lab Equipment and Operations

• Set up, operate, and maintain electrical characterization and debug equipment.

• Perform routine equipment verification, calibration checks, and preventive maintenance.

• Fix basic hardware, software, and connectivity issues.

• Raise equipment problems to engineers or vendors as needed.

• Support installation and qualification of new laboratory equipment.

• Maintain laboratory safety, cleanliness, and organization.

Support Data Management and Reporting

• Enter characterization and failure analysis results into databases and tracking systems.

• Generate test logs, reports, and data summaries.

• Verify data accuracy and report discrepancies.

• Assist with data trending and analysis activities.

• Maintain proper documentation according to quality and reliability procedures.

Support Continuous Improvement and Automation

• Find opportunities to improve laboratory efficiency and workflow effectiveness.

• Support implementation of automation, scripting, and digital solutions for laboratory operations.

• Apply approved AI-enabled productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent tools) to improve documentation, data organization, and reporting efficiency while following Micron data governance requirements.

• Participate in team improvement projects and operational excellence initiatives.

Training and Team Support

• Learn NAND Flash memory, SSD products, and storage technology fundamentals.
