Samsung Semiconductor is hiring now for a Staff Engineer Memory Systems Architecture. The conventional DRAM failure analysis was physical electrical FA and physical FA. But in the era of Data center it is easier to track the field failure information. With this data set Fault management teams role is finding DRAM failure mode abnormality and failure rate projection.

You will be part of an incubation team working on in-field telemetry intended to transform the Customer Quality Experience for Samsung memory products. Fault Management is the future of quality to minimize system downtime within AI/ML hardware deployments and workloads of the future. We analyze trends and patterns from enormous memory fleet telemetry to bucketize failures and perform virtual root-cause analysis. Telemetry analysis helps us design solutions to proactively avoid system downtime. We conduct research and develop both in-house and collaboratively in the industry with the opportunity to publish our findings through whitepapers and conferences. We are looking for innovative and passionate thinkers who can work in a start-up environment and are excited to shape the future of data centers around the world. Join us in our mission!

What Youll Do
