Job description

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.

As a Process Integration Engineer working in the fast-paced DRAM R&D Memory Group, you will be instrumental in developing Micron's core memory technology critical for AI-enabled customers. The R&D development takes place in an industry-leading 300mm facility which is adjacent to our newly announced Manufacturing facility (currently under construction).

Your focus will be on the development and application of advanced semiconductor device and process modeling methodologies that enable future DRAM memory scaling for AI-enabled customers. Working as an embedded modeling engineer within the Process Integration organization, you will leverage simulation, device physics expertise, and experimental validation to solve complex technology development challenges, provide predictive insights, and accelerate technology development.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

  • Develop and apply semiconductor process and device models to solve critical technology challenges and guide process development decisions.

  • Utilize TCAD, Silvaco, and other advanced modeling and simulation techniques to understand process interactions, device behavior, and technology scaling opportunities.

  • Design experiments and analyze results using statistical analysis software. Correlate simulation results with experimental and silicon data to improve model accuracy and deepen process understanding.

  • Work cross-functionally with multiple groups including Process Integration, Process Development, Device Engineering, Yield Enhancement, Electrical and Physical Failure Analysis, Parametric, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to identify and resolve issues.

  • Summarize complex technical problems, develop actionable recommendations, and build consensus across teams to drive solutions.

  • Define and achieve sub-milestones for modeling projects within larger technology development programs.

  • Provide simulation-driven insights that enable development of future DRAM technologies and support successful transfer from R&D into manufacturing.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Required Education: PhD or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related technical field, plus demonstrated semiconductor industry experience.

  • Experience with semiconductor device physics.

  • Experience with TCAD, Silvaco, Sentaurus, or comparable semiconductor process/device modeling tools.

  • Experience correlating simulation results with experimental or silicon data.

  • Proficiency with data analysis, DOE, and statistical techniques.

  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex semiconductor technology problems using modeling, simulation, and experimental methods.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related technical field.

  • Semiconductor modeling experience across memory, logic, analog, RF, power, sensor, MEMS, or advanced technology nodes.

  • Experience developing predictive process or device models for advanced semiconductor technologies.

  • Successful collaborations in a dynamic, multi-tasking team environment.

  • Excellent communication, organizational, and team-building skills.

  • Self-motivated, highly driven individual with strong initiative and a passion for solving difficult technical challenges.
