About the role

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.
This is where curiosity, experimentation, and impact come together!

Develop, qualify, and sustain dry etch (plasma) unit processes for sophisticated memory technologies (e.g., dielectric, conductor, and hardmask etch)
Optimize critical process metrics including CD control, etch profile/anisotropy, selectivity, microloading, uniformity, and line edge/line width roughness
Drive defect reduction and yield improvement using inline/out-of-line metrology, DOEs, SPC, and statistical data analysis
Partner with equipment vendors on chamber matching, hardware and recipe development, new capability evaluations, and cost-of-ownership improvements
communicate results and support the transition of technology to large-scale production
Ability to collaborate effectively across multi-functional technical teams and communicate results clearly
Our team works at the groundbreaking of memory innovation, partnering across design, integration, manufacturing, and equipment suppliers to enable the next generation of semiconductor devices.
As a Dry Etch Process Engineer you will build, integrate, and optimize plasma etch processes that enable next-generation memory devices.
You will collaborate closely with integration, lithography, thin films, CMP, device, and manufacturing teams to mature processes from R&D into high-volume manufacturing.
You will also collaborate with our Technology Development teams in Boise, USA, and Hiroshima, Japan.

B.S. with 3+ years of semiconductor processing experience with emphasis on dry etch/plasma etch will also be considered
Experience in semiconductor process development or sustaining engineering, including DOE planning/execution and statistical data analysis
Working knowledge of plasma etch fundamentals, chamber hardware, and process characterization (profile, CD, selectivity, uniformity, defectivity)
AI proficiency or AI‑enabled ways of working
However, all information provided must be accurate and reflect the candidate's true skills and experiences.

Hands-on experience with sophisticated dry etch platforms (e.g., ICP/RIE) and chamber matching across fleets
Familiarity with pattern transfer challenges (ARDE, microloading, footing/notching) and integration with lithography/hardmask stacks)
Experience working with semiconductor equipment vendors, joint development programs, or R&D environments
$107,000.00 - $182,000.00 a year
