Engineer - Metals Adv DRAM

Overview

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. In this role you will develop new or modified process formulations, define processing or handling equipment requirements and specifications, and review processing techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of products.

You will coordinate design requirement review with appropriate engineering/scientific personnel to ensure compatibility of processing methods, compile and evaluate test data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications, and plan projects involving the definition and selection of new concepts, equipment automation technology, and approaches in the processing or development of new or improved processes. Additionally, you will work directly with process integration and other process areas such as Dry Etch, Wet Etch, CVD, Diffusion, Lithography, and CMP, and own the process roadmap to meet program and yield goals.
