Senior Engineer, Process Development - Wet Process, Advanced NAND

About the role

Micron's Singapore Technology Development (TD) team is looking for a Process Development Engineer to support the rapid deployment of advanced NAND technology nodes. The role is critical for improving process margins, integrating new technologies into manufacturing and working with global partners to shape the future of memory technology.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and optimize unit processes to meet the yield and quality requirements of advanced NAND parts.
• Quantify the benefits of innovative process and equipment solutions to enable early experimentation and adoption for process margin improvement.
• Prioritize key technology issues for the Singapore-based Wet Etch team and integrate and solve processes in multi-functional teams focused on yield and quality.
• Work with Boise TD peers on technology choices for upcoming nodes and turn future device needs into clear process requirements.
• Identify disruptive processes early and work with manufacturing and Boise TD on viable paths forward.
• Carry out fundamental research, hardware evaluations and testing of processes for novel applications, generate intellectual property, and initiate experiments to widen process margins and test manufacturability of next-node solutions.
• Identify process simplification opportunities, incorporate best-known manufacturing methods into early development, and design advanced process monitoring and control methodologies.
• Serve as a technical expert on technical projects, lead teams, sites or suppliers on complex projects, advise management on major technical issues, and lead innovation projects through patents and technical papers.
• Collaborate with local and global partners, align with Micron's IP protection policy, and engage continuously with suppliers.

Required profile

• PhD in Materials Science, Chemical/Microelectronic Engineering, Chemistry or a related major.
• At least 1 year of R&D experience.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, able to prioritize and manage multiple projects in a demanding environment.
• Excellent oral and written communication, including remote communication.

Required skills

• Deep understanding of chemistry, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics and mass transport.
• Solid understanding of data analysis systems such as Y3.
• Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DoE).
