About the role

Micron is hiring a Senior Engineer for its Advanced Process Development (Adv PD) photolithography team. The engineer develops, optimizes and troubleshoots photolithography processes to support yield, quality and performance targets, working closely with cross-functional teams such as integration, etch, metrology and yield engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Execute photolithography process development, optimization and troubleshooting tasks.
• Run DOE, SPC and statistical analyses to characterize process behavior and find improvement opportunities.
• Support material evaluations, defect learning, overlay analysis and process window characterization.
• Help with integration learning during development and early manufacturing ramps.
• Document procedures, results and learnings in technical reports and presentations.
• Support technology transfer activities under the direction of senior engineers.
• Use AI-assisted tools responsibly to improve efficiency, quality and effectiveness, and share AI-enabled improvements within your scope.

Required profile

• PhD, or Master's degree with at least 3 years, or Bachelor's degree with at least 5 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics or a related field.
• Foundational experience in semiconductor photolithography process development.
• Ability to apply baseline digital fluency and role-appropriate AI literacy to use AI tools for research, analysis, content creation, problem solving and operational tasks.

Required skills

• Deep knowledge of optics, immersion lithography, polarized illumination and low k1 imaging.
• Lithography simulation tools, material characterization, DOE, SPC and basic statistical data analysis.
• Analytical thinking, structured problem solving, collaboration, clear technical communication and project management.
• Preferred: exposure to advanced lithography (193nm, 248nm, 365nm) and EUV processes, and hands-on experience with photolithography equipment and metrology tools.
