Model Systems Engineering Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

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.

Join Micron's Storage and Memory Systems Pathfinding group and take the lead in advancing the future of memory and storage technologies! As the Manager of the Architecture and Hardware team in Micron's Storage and Memory Systems (SMS) group within TPG Pathfinding, you will manage a multidisciplinary team of engineers responsible for system-level architecture, hardware prototyping, and applied research for next-generation memory and storage technologies. This role combines people management, technical leadership, external collaboration, and program execution across advanced memory and storage systems!

• Lead system-level architecture assessment, prototyping, and exploration for advanced memory and storage technologies (CXL, DDR/LPDDR, HBM, NVMe, emerging/disaggregated memory), including FPGA-based controller emulation and AI infrastructure prototypes. Establish requirements, success criteria, and experimental methods for performance, cost, power, and scalability tradeoffs. Conduct architecture impact analysis in response to competitive threats.
• Partner with Software and Applications Modeling teams to connect architectural concepts to real AI workloads -Leveraging AI and foster cross-team collaboration within SMS and across TPG product groups.
• Own technical execution for multi-year internal and externally funded programs, including achievements, deliverables, and reviews. Lead all aspects of system procurement, integration, lab bring-up, validation, and operational readiness.
• Engage with internal and external partners, vendors, research organizations, and official bodies governing industry standards. Support executive-level briefings, roadmap discussions, and team strategy sessions.
• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of senior engineers across hardware, systems architecture, RTL/FPGA, board design, and system validation. Strategically grow team capabilities in AI system architecture, memory and I/O protocols, performance/power/TCO modeling, advanced packaging and interconnect system impact. Own resource planning, staffing allocation, budgets, and purchase approvals. Ensure lab safety, compliance, and operational continuity.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (Master's or PhD preferred) and 10+ years of experience in systems architecture, hardware development, storage, memory, or AI infrastructure.
• Proven experience leading and running senior technical teams and complex engineering programs, preferably in a pathfinding or advanced R&D organization.
• Deep understanding of memory hierarchies, storage systems, and system-level performance analysis, with technologies such as HBM, DDR/LPDDR, SSDs and NAND.
• Working Knowledge of AI compute and storage system architectures, including xPU (GPU, CPU, DPU, accelerator) memory-storage hierarchy interactions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level technical presentations. Ability to work effectively in an environment with significant ambiguity and constantly evolving priorities.

• Experience with FPGA-based prototyping, hardware emulation, RTL/Verification flows, board-level development, electrical debug, and lab bring-up.
• Experience with system-level performance modeling (bandwidth, latency, queueing, utilization, trace-based analysis), power/energy/TCO modeling, advanced packaging and interconnect technology evaluation.
• Experience with government-funded research programs or national laboratories, and active participation in industry standards bodies (JEDEC, UCIe, SNIA, NVMe, PCI-SIG, etc.), with a proven track record to bridge research, engineering, and product strategy.
• Experience integrating AI tools into engineering workflows to improve team efficiency.
