NAND Device Engineer / Senior / Staff / Principal

At Micron Technology, we are transforming how the world uses information to enrich life. As a NAND Device Engineer in the Device Technology Development team, you will play a critical role in shaping next-generation NAND technologies by bridging device physics, array operation, and product requirements.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of fundamental device behavior and real-system impact, contributing directly to cutting-edge memory products deployed globally.
 

What You Will Do:
 

Device Understanding & Innovation

• Develop deep insight into NAND cell physics, variability, and reliability mechanisms across technology nodes and architectures.
• Analyze electrical characterization data from cell arrays and test structures to identify key limitations and improvement opportunities.
• Translate device-level understanding into actionable directions for cell design, process optimization, and array operation.
   

Array-Level Optimization & Co-Design

• Drive device–array co-optimization, including threshold voltage (Vt) placement, distribution control, and sensing margins.
• Design and refine algorithms, trims, and waveform strategies to improve performance, yield, and reliability.
• Contribute to solving complex system-level problems such as interference, retention, endurance, and read/write margin trade-offs.
   

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with process integration, cell design, product engineering, and test teams across global sites (e.g., Singapore, Boise, India).
• Provide feedback on process experiments and splits, linking physical changes to electrical/system-level impact.
• Participate in cross-functional debug, yield ramp, and technology bring-up activities.
   

Technology Development Impact

• Contribute to next-generation NAND technology definition and scaling strategies.
• Propose and prototype novel device or algorithmic solutions to overcome emerging scaling challenges.
• Drive data-driven decision making using statistics, modeling, and large dataset analysis.

Who You Are:
 

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
• Solid understanding of semiconductor devices and fundamentals
• Strong analytical mindset with ability to interpret electrical data and trends
• Good communication skills and ability to work in collaborative, multi-site teams
   

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience or coursework in non-volatile memory (NAND preferred)
• Understanding of device variability, reliability mechanisms, and scaling challenges
• Exposure to data analysis (Python, MATLAB, JMP, etc.) and statistics
• Familiarity with memory array operation, sensing schemes, or algorithm development
• Demonstrated ability to connect device behavior to system-level impact
• Exposure to machine learning, AI, or advanced data analytics technique
• Ability to move beyond data → build intuition and physical understanding
• Experience building automated analysis pipelines or engineering tools
• Curiosity to ask “why does this behavior exist?”, not just “what happened?”
• Ownership in driving problems end-to-end across device, process, and product
• Comfort working in ambiguous, evolving technology spaces
• Strong bias toward impact and execution over analysis alone
• Mindset of leveraging AI and automation to improve engineering efficiency

Why This Role is Exciting:

• Work on state-of-the-art 3D NAND technologies pushing the limits of scaling
• Influence decisions that directly affect product performance and cost
• Be part of a global, highly collaborative engineering network
• Opportunity to grow into deep technical leadership or cross-domain influence
