Lead Applied AI & Agentic Systems Scientist

Micron Technology; Folsom (CA); On-site; USD 145,000 - 360,000; Full time

Job summary

Micron Technology is seeking a Lead Engineer for Applied AI and Agentic Systems to own architecture and deliver AI systems used by engineers daily. You will transform vague problems into concrete designs, plans, and production-ready software.

You will guide ML, data science, and software teams, setting direction, reviewing designs, and growing engineers. Expect deep collaboration across hardware and software domains in a production-focused environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
• 8 years of relevant experience, or equivalent practical experience.
• Led complex AI, ML, data science, or software engineering programs as technical lead, directing the work of other engineers.
• Hands-on machine learning and statistical modelling: supervised learning, feature engineering, validation, performance evaluation, and reading model behavior.
• Python fluency with PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or XGBoost. Shipped models into production — inference pipelines, APIs, CI/CD, monitoring.

Responsibilities

• Set the architecture and technical direction for our applied AI, ML, and agentic AI work.
• Design systems end to end: data pipelines, features, model development, evaluation, inference services, and monitoring.
• Build the models engineers act on — prediction, diagnosis, optimization, and decision support for semiconductor applications.
• Ship agentic AI for engineering analysis, knowledge retrieval, workflow automation, and decision support. Define the guardrails and evaluations that earn trust in it.
• Break wide-open challenges into roadmaps, turning points, and success criteria. Report progress, risk, and model limits plainly to engineers and executives.
