DRAM Pathfinding & Process Integration Engineer

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.

Join the DRAM Technology Development team at Micron and help shape the future of memory technology. Working within the NY CREATES Albany NanoTech ecosystem, we develop breakthrough technologies that enable future DRAM scaling, including advanced patterning, novel materials, new device architectures, and High-NA EUV lithography. We collaborate with leading equipment suppliers, research institutions, and Micron development teams around the world to solve exciting semiconductor technology problems!

As a DRAM Pathfinding & Process Integration Engineer, you will lead early-stage technology investigation and process integration for next-generation DRAM architectures. You will translate structural, electrical, reliability, and manufacturability requirements into integrated process solutions, accelerate technical learning, and reduce risk before new concepts transition into formal development programs.

Responsibilities:

• Lead pathfinding investigations of next-generation DRAM concepts, materials, process architectures, and advanced patterning solutions, including High-NA EUV
• Develop and integrate process flows across lithography, dry etch, thin films, CMP, metrology, device engineering, and manufacturing while balancing performance, yield, reliability, manufacturability, and cost
• Design and implement DOE and technology-learning experiments, using statistical and AI-assisted analytics to evaluate electrical, defectivity, metrology, reliability, and yield data
• Collaborate with NY CREATES, equipment suppliers, research partners, and Micron teams to evaluate emerging capabilities and influence technology priorities while protecting Micron intellectual property
• Support the transition of successful pathfinding concepts into technology development and production by documenting key learning, technical assumptions, risks, and recommendations

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of semiconductor industry experience in process integration, process development, device engineering, or advanced R&D
• Strong understanding of memory technologies, semiconductor device physics, and process integration
• Experience with DOE methodologies, statistical analysis, and technical problem-solving
• Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field
• Experience with DRAM technology development, advanced memory scaling, EUV or High-NA EUV lithography, technology scouting, or advanced process integration
• Experience working with semiconductor consortia, equipment suppliers, research institutions, or other external technology partners
• Familiarity with Python, JMP, SQL, machine learning, and advanced analytics tools
• Experience using AI-assisted analytics to enhance data interpretation, anomaly detection, and yield improvement initiatives
