Job description

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.

As a Process Integration Engineer working in the fast-paced DRAM R&D Memory Group, you will be instrumental in developing Micron’s core memory technology serving AI-enabled customers. The R&D development takes place in an industry leading 300mm facility which is adjacent to our newly announced Manufacturing facility (currently under construction).

Your focus will be on the development and integration of critical technology which enables future DRAM memory scaling for Micron. You will develop the structural and electrical requirements for one or more modules and work in conjunction with Process Development and supporting teams to seamlessly integrate new module solutions into the entire process flow.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

• Engineer and develop novel process flows for critical modules. This includes creating structural and electrical specifications as well as design rules for new process flows.


• Utilization of creative problem-solving skills to develop and optimize new process flows which improve performance and reduce the cost of future memory chips.


• Design experiments and analyze results using statistical analysis software. Results are applied to directly enhance yield. (DOE)


• Work cross-functionally with multiple groups including Design, Product Engineering, Process Development, Modeling, Yield Enhancement, Electrical and Physical Failure Analysis, Parametric, and Quality teams to identify and resolve issues.


• Summarize complex problems, develop actions to address them, and build consensus across teams to drive for solutions.


• Define and achieve sub-milestones for your projects within the larger timelines of the overall program needs.


• Close collaboration with Manufacturing as new technology is transferred from R&D phase into production.

Minimum qualifications:

• Knowledge of mainstream memory technologies such as DRAM, NAND, NOR, & SRAM.


• Required Education: MS Degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or other related technical field.


• Expertise in device physics.


• Understanding of Process Integration.


• Proficiency with data analysis, DOE, and statistical techniques.

Preferred qualifications:

• Preferred Education: PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or other related technical field is required.


• Successful collaborations in a dynamic, multi-tasking team environment.


• Excellent communication, organizational, and team building skills.


• Semiconductor industry experience.

• Micron benefits are designed to help you stay well, provide peace of mind and help you prepare for the future.


• We offer a choice of medical, dental and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.


• Micron also provides benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave.


• Additionally, Micron benefits include a robust paid time-off program and paid holidays.
