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.

Job / Role Summary

The Senior Engineer supports Thin Films (CVD/Diffusion) process development for advanced NAND technology by executing experiments, characterizing films, troubleshooting process and tool issues, and supporting process transfer into manufacturing. Success in this role requires strong fundamentals in thin film deposition and characterization, disciplined experimental execution (DOE/SPC), and effective collaboration across integration, metrology, failure analysis, yield, and equipment partners.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop, optimize, and characterize thin film processes (CVD/Diffusion) to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets.

• Design and execute experiments, analyze data, and communicate results in appropriate technical forums.

• Perform film characterization using appropriate techniques (examples referenced: SEM, TEM, XPS, SIMS, AFM) and correlate results to process outcomes.

• Support process transfer and pilot line execution, including sustaining process maturity/capability for processes under ownership.

• Collaborate with multi-functional partners (Process Integration, Metrology, Surface/Characterization labs, Electrical Failure Analysis, Yield, Manufacturing, and equipment vendors/suppliers) to ensure robust processes that meet physical/electrical requirements.

Other Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate documentation of experiments, process settings, and learnings; produce technical reports and summaries.

• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.

• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.
