Senior Member Technical Staff - Diffusion & Thin Films

About the role

Micron Technology is hiring a Member Technical Staff member to lead the improvement of Diffusion, Thin Film Deposition (PECVD/PVD) and Wet Etch processes in advanced DRAM technology nodes. The role is critical to meeting manufacturing requirements for memory products and calls for broad experience, strong process integration expertise, strategic vision and leadership capabilities. The focus is on improving process capability and accelerating yield ramp.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate characterization and refinement of Diffusion, PECVD/PVD thin film deposition and Wet Etch processes for advanced DRAM applications.
• Work cross-functionally with Integration, Metrology, Equipment and R&D teams to ensure process robustness and manufacturability.
• Define and complete technical roadmaps aligned with DRAM scaling requirements and yield improvement targets.
• Evaluate and implement advanced process technologies, including diffusion condition optimization, novel thin film materials and deposition methods, and wet chemistry solutions.
• Mentor and develop engineering talent and encourage a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
• Co-develop process solutions with equipment vendors and external partners.
• Drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives for process challenges.
• Present technical findings, progress and recommendations to executive leadership and global teams.

Required profile

• Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics or a related field.
• At least 10 years of hands-on experience in diffusion, PECVD/PVD thin film processing, or wet etching.
• Proven track record of technical leadership in semiconductor process engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage complex projects.

Required skills

• Deep understanding of material properties, thin film growth mechanisms, interface control and integration challenges.
• Experience with leading equipment platforms (e.g., AMAT, TEL, Lam) and process characterization techniques.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
