Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

Micron’s Singapore Technology Development (TD) team is seeking a passionate and driven Process Development Engineer to support the rapid deployment of advanced NAND technology nodes. This role is critical in enhancing process margins, integrating new technologies into manufacturing, and collaborating globally to shape the future of memory technology.

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.
