Layout Designer - Pathfinding

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.

Develop multi‑dimensional layouts and detailed drawings of semiconductor devices from schematics and related geometry provided by design engineering. Work may be completed using CAD or other computerized equipment. Checks dimensions, writes specifications, and verifies completed drawings, artwork or digitized plots.

As a Staff Layout Designer, develop and prepare multi‑dimensional layouts. Provide detailed drawings of semiconductor devices from schematics and related geometry provided by design engineers, verify data integrity, and lead major block developments. Communicate effectively with other functional groups across global sites (TD, design, verification, and CAD). Self‑starter who learns rapidly and adapts quickly to changing priorities.
