The Role
As a Device Engineer at Micron, you will characterize and improve DRAM memory technologies while collaborating with various engineering teams to optimize performance and yield.
Summary Generated by Built In
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.
We are the R&D DRAM Device and Cell Technology Group at Micron, developing technologies that support continued memory scaling in an advanced 300mm R&D facility. We explore new device concepts, advance DRAM cell performance, and turn a deep understanding of device physics into manufacturable technology. If you enjoy quickly developing knowledge of new technologies, solving complex technical problems, and collaborating across process areas, you will contribute to collaborative technology development!
In this role, you will contribute to defining and validating future DRAM device and cell technologies. As a Device Engineer, you will characterize memory arrays, analyze electrical behavior and failures, and influence process and material decisions that affect yield, quality, and performance. Your work will shape the electrical foundation of future memory technologies.
Responsibilities:
  • Define and drive electrical specifications for DRAM, advanced DRAM, and emerging memory technologies translating product requirements into device-level targets for performance, reliability, and scaling.
  • Design, implement, and interpret experiments to optimize cell and access device performance. This includes conducting materials experiments, developing new integration schemes, and defining new characterization methodologies
  • Develop physical and electrical models (TCAD and compact modeling) to identify performance, yield, and reliability limiters, using advanced materials characterization, device physics expertise, and statistical data analysis
  • Develop or improve reliability stress-test methodologies to evaluate device reliability (e.g., TDDB, leakage, variability, endurance) and establish robust design margins.
  • Analyze array-level behavior using probe, parametric, and backend data to identify the root causes of variability, optimize distributions, and improve yield, quality, and cost efficiency
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with process integration, design, and product engineering teams to translate device insights into technology and product improvements, enabling high-performing memory solutions

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Master's degree with five (5) or more years of relevant industry experience or PhD with relevant hands-on research experience in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
  • Expertise in semiconductor device physics including CMOS, diodes, and related devices
  • Knowledge of memory technologies such as DRAM, NAND, NOR, or SRAM
  • Experience with DRAM array characterization and failure analysis
  • Experience leveraging AI-enabled tools to support engineering data analysis, automate repetitive analytical workflows, and improve technical problem-solving

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Ability to communicate complex technical information clearly in writing and verbally
  • Experience working across process integration and circuit design or system architecture domains
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate with multi-functional engineering teams
  • Proven problem-solving skills and ability to communicate technical findings, progress, and risks to technical and business collaborators
