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.
Lead Micron’s workload-driven memory architecture and performance strategy across mobile and server-class platforms, shaping the future of DRAM, LPDDR, and HBM based memory systems. Own the end-to-end vision for workload characterization, benchmarking, and performance modeling, translating real-world application behavior into next-generation memory architecture, product features, and ecosystem innovations. Drive cross-organizational alignment spanning silicon, controllers, firmware, OS, hyperscalers, and industry partners, establishing Micron as a leader in workload-informed memory design.
Role Type: DMTS/SMTS
Domain: Memory Systems Architecture, Workload Analysis, Performance Engineering for servers and mobiles.
Key Responsibilities
Benchmarking & Workload Characterization
- Define the industry-leading benchmarking framework for Mobile(Geekbench, PCMark, MLPerf Mobile, real app traces etc) and Server( SPEC CPU, SPECrate, STREAM, MLPerf, database/cloud workloads)
- Influence memory controller policies (scheduling, QoS, fairness) and the evolution of heterogeneous/tiered memory hierarchies.
Modeling & Predictive Analytics
- Establish advanced frameworks for performance modeling, analytical simulation, and trace-driven workload replay at scale.
- Lead what-if exploration for future workloads (AI-first systems) and scaling across memory configurations (channels, ranks, interleaving, bandwidth).
- Translate models into product requirements, performance targets, and customer-facing guidance.
Cross-Stack Optimization
- Drive end-to-end optimizations across application → OS → firmware → hardware stack.
- Influence Linux kernel memory management (NUMA, huge pages, scheduling), data placement, and memory tiering strategies.
- Partner with ecosystem teams to optimize AI frameworks, databases, and virtualization platforms for memory efficiency and performance.
Minimum Qualifications
- 15–24+ years in memory systems, performance engineering, or system architecture.
- Proven expertise in workload analysis and workload characterization at scale for servers and mobiles.
- Strong programming experience: Python, C/C++, and system-level tooling.
- Deep experience with benchmarking suites (SPEC, MLPerf, STREAM, and real-world workloads) and Linux performance tools (perf, eBPF, PMU-based profiling).
- Demonstrated impact on architecture decisions and product roadmaps through cross-functional leadership.
- Strong analytical, modeling, and data-driven decision-making capability.
- Exceptional ability to influence at executive and cross-organizational levels.
- Track record of industry impact (ecosystem leadership, standards, publications, or open source).
- Passion for innovation in next-generation memory systems.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field with 15+ years of experience, OR
- Master’s degree with 14+ years of experience, OR
- PhD with 12+ years of experience.
- 5+ years of experience with programming languages such as Python, C, C++, or Java.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with AI/ML workloads (LLMs, recommendation systems, training clusters) and performance optimization.
- Expertise in databases and cloud-native systems (RocksDB, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis/Memcached) and microservices.
- Expertise in performance modeling, simulation, and trace-driven workload replay frameworks.
- Familiarity with ARM and x86 system architectures and performance tooling.
