About the role

Micron is hiring a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) for its Process Development team working on NAND cell film. The role leads project-level initiatives, runs complex experiments, conducts material characterization and supports process integration and fixing, while promoting manufacturability and continuous improvement. It is a key technical contributor who also mentors early-career staff and strengthens SOP and knowledge systems.

Key responsibilities

• Lead project-level initiatives for cell film process development and run complex experiments and integration support under senior guidance.
• Maintain thorough records, prepare technical reports, take part in multi-functional problem solving and drive continuous improvement.
• Contribute to guidelines, SOPs and knowledge management, and stay current on emerging technologies in thin film processing and characterization.
• Mentor early-career engineers and support optimization of existing processes.
• Use AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency, quality or effectiveness, and share AI-enabled improvements within scope.

Required profile

• PhD with at least 8 years, or Master's with at least 11 years, or Bachelor's with at least 13 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics or a related field.
• Experience in thin film R&D for microelectronic devices with demonstrated contributions to complex technology development.
• Familiarity with electrical test methods and fab metrology tools.
• Preferred: publications, patents and a strong record of technical contributions.

Required skills

• Hands-on ALD/CVD thin film process experience, including recipe setup, tuning, monitoring and fixing.
• Proficiency in film and fab metrology tools such as ellipsometry, XRR, SEM/TEM, CD-SEM and thickness and particle measurements.
• Process integration knowledge, using SPC, DOE and root cause analysis.
• Working knowledge of NAND cell structures, device physics, plasma processes, vacuum systems and chemical reactions.
• Experience supporting technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing, writing SOPs and documenting technical findings.
