SR. ENGINEER, DRAM DEVICE & CELL

Req ID:

JR102261 SR. ENGINEER, DRAM DEVICE & CELL

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 the R&D DRAM Device and Cell Technology Group at Micron, working at the heart of future memory scaling in an industry‑leading 300mm R&D facility. We explore new device concepts, push the limits of DRAM cell performance, and turn a deep understanding of physics into manufacturable technology. If you enjoy learning fast, solving hard problems, and collaborating across process areas, this team delivers!

In this role, you will play a critical part in defining and validating future DRAM device and cell technologies. As a Device Engineer, you will characterize memory arrays, analyze electrical behavior and failures, and influence process and material decisions that directly impact yield, quality, and performance. Your work will shape the electrical foundation of next‑generation DRAM products.

Responsibilities:

• Define and drive electrical specifications for DRAM, Advanced DRAM and emerging memory technologies, translating product requirements into device-level targets for performance, reliability and scaling
• Design, implement, and interpret experiments to optimize cell and access device performance. This includes running materials experiment, developing new integration schemes and defining new characterization methodologies
• Develop physical and electrical models (TCAD and compact modeling) to identify performance, yield and reliability limiters, using advanced materials characterization, device physics insight, and statistical data analysis
• Create and or improve stress methodologies to evaluate device reliability (e.g., TDDB, leakage, variability, endurance) and establish robust design margins.
• Analyze array-level behavior using probe, parametric, and backend data to root-cause variability, optimize distributions, and improve yield, quality, and cost
• Collaborate with process integration, design, and product engineering teams to translate device insights into technology and product improvements, enabling best-in-class memory solutions

Minimum Qualifications:

• MS with 5+ years of industry experience or PhD with hands‑on research in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science and Engineering or related field
• Strong expertise in semiconductor device physics including CMOS, diodes, and related devices
• Deep knowledge of mainstream memory technologies such as DRAM, NAND, NOR, or SRAM
• Proficiency in data analysis, working with Agentic tools, DOE, and statistical techniques using tools such as JMP or Python

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with DRAM array characterization and failure analysis
• Experience working across process integration and circuit or architecture domains
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with multi‑functional engineering teams
• Proven problem‑solving skills and ability to communicate technical status to management

Job Profile(s):

Process Development Engineer - PhD

Relocation Level: TBD
