• Quantify benefits of innovative process and/or equipment solutions to enable early experimentation and adoption for process margin improvement
• Prioritize within Singapore‑based manufacturing Diffusion team on key technology issues that need Technology Development (TD) breakthroughs
• Integrate and troubleshoot processes as part of cross‑functional teams driving yield and quality improvement
• Participate with Boise TD Films peers on technology choices for upcoming nodes and translate future technology device needs into clear process requirements
• Identify disruptive processes early on and work with manufacturing and Boise TD to identify viable paths forward
• Perform fundamental research, hardware evaluations, and testing of processes for novel applications, generating intellectual property relevant to Micron
• Initiate and manage experiments to widen process margins and test manufacturability of next node solutions
• Identify process simplification opportunities and drive cross‑functional teams in implementation
• Incorporate best‑known manufacturing methods into early development of upcoming nodes
• Design and implement advanced process monitoring and control methodologies
• Serve as a technical expert contributing to technical projects for improvements to processes, procedures, and equipment
• Lead team, sites, or suppliers on complex, multi‑disciplinary projects in quality focused meetings, process and yield improvement meetings, and cost and productivity improvement meetings
• Provide advice and counsel to management on significant technical issues; lead and initiate innovation projects through patents/technical papers
• Communicate and collaborate with partners locally and globally; strictly adhere to Micron Intellectual Property protection policy
• Participate in worldwide TD engagement with suppliers pushing for breakthrough solutions
• Own module business process

• Master’s or PhD in Materials Science, Chemical/Microelectronic Engineering, or Physics with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience
• Strong understanding of:
  • Flow dynamics, thermodynamics, and physical phenomena in deposition
  • Precursor depletion effects in 3D structures and mitigation strategies
  • Interface characterization techniques (SIMS, XPS, EDX, SEM/TEM)
  • Integration and structural constraints in film deposition processes
  • Memory process flows, especially for planar and vertical NAND
• Proficiency in data analysis tools (Y3) and Design of Experiments (DoE)
• Proven collaboration skills with local and global teams
• Excellent communication skills for both in‑person and remote interactions
• Self‑motivated, adaptable, and capable of managing multiple projects in a dynamic environment
• Willingness to travel and stay at Boise TD for extended periods (2–4 months) to support technology development
