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 seeking an experienced EUV Process Engineer to support the development, optimization, and high‑volume manufacturing of next‑generation semiconductor technologies. This role is designed for a senior technical contributor who operates with significant independence, drives complex process solutions end‑to‑end, and partners closely with cross‑functional teams and external suppliers to enable robust EUV patterning performance!

In this role, your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Lead and drive EUV lithography process development and sustainment for advanced technology nodes in a manufacturing environment
• Innovate new design, layout, and photolithography techniques to open a solution space for building future generations of memory devices. Review all types of literature to identify potential intellectual properties (IP) opportunities and file disclosures.
• Lead root‑cause analysis and resolution of CDU, overlay, stochastic, and defectivity issues impacting yield and line performance
• Develop and optimize process windows, scanner jobs, and associated metrology strategies to meet performance and manufacturability targets
• Partner with equipment, metrology, materials, etch, and integration teams to deliver stable, high‑yield EUV processes
• Collaborate with external partners and suppliers (scanner, mask, resist, and ecosystem vendors) to evaluate and qualify new technologies to overcome process challenges
• Use data‑driven methods to analyze large datasets and translate results into actionable process improvements
• Document and communicate complex technical results clearly to engineering peers, leadership, and stakeholders

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering or related field with greater than 5 years’ experience post degree in semiconductor lithography process engineering
• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering or related field with greater than 3 years’ experience post graduate degree in semiconductor lithography process engineering
• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex process problems using structured, data‑driven approaches
• Strong communication skills, project management skills, and ability to work effectively across disciplines and organizations
• Experience using AI tools to automate workflows and improve engineering productivity

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of and experience with EUV lithography, CDU/overlay modeling, stochastic optimization, or defect mitigation strategies
• Data science, programming, or machine learning experience applied to semiconductor process development
• Experience using AI-assisted analytics to enhance data interpretation, anomaly detection, and yield improvement initiatives
• Experience collaborating with external research institutes or equipment/material suppliers
• Resilience and adaptability in a dynamic, evolving environment
