The DFM Firmware Team plays a crucial role in designing and developing the Direct Flash Module (DFM) – a key module of Pure's Flasharray and Flashblade enterprise storage solutions. The DFM is an internally designed enterprise storage device using the NAND flash technology. Compared with the off-the-shelf SSD, the DFM has the competitive advantage of simplicity, high performance, low cost and scalability.
As a leader of the DFM firmware team, you'll have rare opportunities to work across various domains, including the entire data path, NAND media management, and low-level hardware interfaces. Our firmware design enables us to quickly integrate the latest NAND technologies from various vendors. We were pioneers in adopting QLC for enterprise storage solutions, releasing the first QLC DFM in 2019. Our proprietary media management policies and algorithms position Pure as a leader in enabling QLC NAND in the enterprise storage industry.
You'll work closely with the Purity software, hardware, NAND, and drive qualification teams. This offers a unique opportunity to learn the latest technologies, including the newest generations of NAND, NVMe/PCIe, as well as SSD controllers. Firmware development opens doors to experiences in embedded software design, hardware and system integration. You'll develop a comprehensive understanding and gain insights into the entire product development and release process.
