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.

We are part of Micron’s Technology Development organization, where advanced ideas become manufacturable technologies. Our team works at the leading edge of memory innovation, partnering across design, integration, manufacturing, and equipment suppliers to enable the next generation of semiconductor devices. This is where curiosity, experimentation, and impact come together.

As a Photolithography Engineer you will play a key role in developing and integrating Low and High NA EUV lithography processes that directly shape future memory technologies. You will work hands‑on with tools, materials, layouts, and data, while collaborating with global partners to move innovations from R&D into high-volume manufacturing. This role offers broad technical exposure and the opportunity to influence device performance, yield, and cost at scale.

This role is full time at the NYCreates site in Albany, NewYork. You will collaborate with our Technology Development (TD) teams in Boise and Hiroshima to benchmark Low and High NA EUV lithography and enable Micron’s technical roadmap. NYCreates is a diverse consortium, and you will have many opportunities to work closely with suppliers and other companies while protecting Micron’s intellectual property (IP).

Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate photolithography unit processes for advanced memory technologies
• Perform material evaluations, reticle and layout development, OPC, overlay optimization, and process window analysis
• Drive yield improvement, failure analysis, and device performance optimization
• Partner with equipment vendors to evaluate tools and improve process capability
• Document processes, communicate results, and support technology transfer to manufacturing

Minimum Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical or Electronics Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other Engineering or Technical Degree relevant to Photolithography and Process Development.
• B.S. with 3+ years semiconductor processing experience with emphasis on Lithography will also be considered.
• Experience in photolithography or semiconductor process development
• Working knowledge of process characterization, data analysis, and statistical methods
• Ability to collaborate across cross-functional technical teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advanced lithography techniques, especially High NA EUV, OPC, or overlay optimization
• Familiarity with process integration and high-volume manufacturing support
• Experience working with semiconductor equipment vendors or R&D environments

Compensation

US base salary range: $107,000.00 – $182,000.00 per year. Additional compensation may include benefits, bonuses and equity.
