Staff Data Scientist, SMAI OI

Req. ID:

JR103840 Staff Data Scientist, SMAI OI

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.

We are seeking a highly motivated Agentic AI Data Scientist to lead the design and deployment of next-generation AI agents that drive end-to-end planning and operational optimization within SMAI (Smart Manufacturing & AI).

This role focuses on building goal-driven, multi-step AI systems (“agents”) that can autonomously plan, decide, and execute workflows across manufacturing planning, capacity optimization, and operations intelligence—unlocking cycle time reduction, capacity improvements, and decision automation at scale.

## Key Responsibilities

### 1\. Agentic AI Design & Development

• Design and develop agent-based AI systems capable of:
• Multi-step reasoning (planning + decision-making + execution)
• Autonomous orchestration across workflows and platforms
• Build multi-agent architectures for complex planning and operations use cases
• Develop agents that integrate:
• Optimization models (OR / mathematical programming)
• LLM-based reasoning and tool usage
• Ensure agents align with enterprise data, domain knowledge, and planning constraints

### 2\. Planning & Operations Use Case Delivery

• Apply Agentic AI to key business problems such as:
• Capacity planning and capital investment optimization
• Production flow optimization and cycle time reduction
• Scenario simulation and decision support
• Translate business requirements into:
• Structured optimization problems
• AI-driven decision workflows

### 3\. AI System Integration & Deployment

• Integrate agents into:
• Existing SMAI platforms and tools
• Data pipelines and enterprise systems
• Develop reusable frameworks for:
• Agent orchestration
• Knowledge retrieval (RAG / knowledge graph)
• Drive deployment strategy (embedded vs standalone agents depending on use case)

### 4\. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with:
• Planning, Operations, and Manufacturing teams
• Data Engineering, MLOps, and Platform teams
• Translate domain knowledge into AI logic and workflows
• Communicate technical solutions to business stakeholders

## Required Skillsets

### Core AI / Software Engineering

• Strong programming skills in Python (preferred), plus familiarity with modern AI frameworks
• Experience with LLMs / GenAI ecosystems (e.g., agent frameworks, tool-use, orchestration)
• Solid understanding of:
• Prompt engineering
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Multi-agent systems

### Optimization & Decision Science (Critical)

• Strong background in Operations Research / Optimization, including:
• Linear / Mixed Integer Programming
• Heuristics / metaheuristics
• Simulation models
• Experience translating real-world planning problems into mathematical models

### Agentic AI & System Design

• Understanding of agentic AI principles:
• Goal-based and utility-based agents
• Planning + reasoning + execution loops
• Experience designing:
• Autonomous workflows
• Multi-step decision systems
• Tool-using AI agents

### Data & Systems Integration

• Experience working with:
• Structured and unstructured data
• APIs and enterprise systems integration
• Familiarity with:
• Data pipelines (e.g., Spark, SQL)
• MLOps / deployment pipelines

### Business & Domain Skills (Preferred)

• Experience in manufacturing, supply chain, or planning domains
• Strong problem-solving skills with ability to:
• Connect AI solutions to business value
• Quantify impact (capacity, cost, cycle time)

## Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in:
• Computer Science, Data Science, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, or related field
• 3–5+ years of experience in:
• AI/ML engineering, or
• Optimization / decision science, or
• Advanced analytics in operations/planning
• Proven experience building production-grade AI or optimization solutions

## Preferred Qualifications

• PhD in AI, Machine Learning, or Operations Research
• Experience with:
• Agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, etc.)
• Reinforcement learning or adaptive systems
• Knowledge graphs and domain-specific AI tuning
• Experience in semiconductor or advanced manufacturing environments
