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.

Job Summary – Member of Technical Staff - Agentic AI Architect, Smart Manufacturing AI Pathfinding & Innovation (AIPI)

Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The memory 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.

The Smart Manufacturing and AI team at Micron Technology is looking for an ambitious engineer (Member of Technical Staff | MTS) to deliver industry-winning Agentic AI solutions that power Micron’s dominance in the highly competitive memory solutions market. This role sits at the intersection of applied Agentic AI engineering and production systems work: you will architect autonomous AI Agents and the agentic and data pipelines that power them, build robust CI/CD deployment paths to Kubernetes and containers, and push the limits of agent performance profiling and evaluation to turn massive data and compute into measurable manufacturing impact. Qualified applicants will have experience across data/cloud technologies and systems engineering, with extensive practice modeling data, querying, and deploying scalable pipelines to execute AI agents. You will collaborate with Data Scientists, Data Engineers and expert users to build and deploy scalable Agentic AI solutions that drive value and insight from Micron’s manufacturing processes and systems.

If you enjoy solving hard problems at scale, thrive on turning speculative research into production-grade systems, and want to see your work drive silicon to market, this is the team for you.

Responsibilities Include, But Not Limited To

• Design and develop autonomous AI Agents capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and tool execution to automate complex manufacturing workflows.
• Implement Agentic frameworks to orchestrate LLM interactions with internal APIs, databases, and software tools.
• Build and maintain agent evaluation harnesses to benchmark agent accuracy, reliability, and task success across complex, multi-step workflows.
• Analyze and profile agent and inference workloads (e.g., tool-calling latency, multi-agent orchestration) to identify and resolve bottlenecks in compute and latency, using agent observability and profiling tools (e.g., PyTorch Profiler, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry).
• Implement interoperable multi-agent systems using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including MCP tools, plugins, and skills.
• Create/maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying AI Agents to Kubernetes and containerized environments in the cloud.
• Design and implement security controls for autonomous AI Agents, including sandboxing, access control, and mitigation of prompt-injection and tool-misuse risks.
• Mentor engineers on agentic system design paradigms and optimization techniques.

Education Qualifications

Technical Degree required (Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field). Ph.D. is a plus.

Minimum Qualifications
