Member of Technical Staff - Process Development, Thin Films (CVD/Diffusion), NAND

About the role

Micron is hiring a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) for its Fab 10N/X facility to advance NAND Advanced Thin Films. The MTS leads project-level initiatives, runs complex experiments, performs material characterization and supports integration and fixing. The role needs strong technical depth in deposition and metrology, consistent delivery of measurable results, and the ability to mentor earlier-career engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Lead project-level initiatives in structural and electrical film processes, especially dielectric (low/high-k) and carbon-based films.
• Run complex experiments and support integration under the guidance of senior staff, delivering measurable results for the site and department.
• Support technology transfer and ramp-up, and take part in multi-functional problem solving for process challenges.
• Maintain thorough records, write technical reports and contribute to guidelines, SOPs and knowledge management systems.
• Stay current on emerging technologies and industry trends in thin film processing and characterization.
• Mentor early-career engineers, support continuous improvement and optimize existing processes.
• Use AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency, quality or effectiveness, in line with organizational standards and legal requirements.

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.
• Significant Thin Films R&D/PD experience in NAND, including diffusion and CVD films.
• Preferred: publications, patents and a strong record of technical contributions.

Required skills

• Deposition expertise: ALD and CVD (plasma and thermal), recipe setup, tuning and fixing.
• Metrology and characterization: ellipsometry, XRR, SEM, TEM and fab metrology tools.
• Understanding of integration, defect and yield improvement, including RCA, DOE and SPC.
• Strong written and verbal technical communication, project leadership, mentoring and disciplined documentation.
