New College Grad - Pathfinding Device Integration Engineer

Micron is seeking a Pathfinding Device Integration Engineer to help define and advance next-generation semiconductor device technologies. In this role, you will work at the intersection of device physics, materials science, and process integration, applying strong analytical and problem-solving skills to transform innovative concepts into data-driven, manufacturable technology solutions. This position operates in an advanced R&D environment and collaborates closely with teams across device engineering, materials development, process integration, modeling, characterization, reliability, and design.

Responsibilities:

• Identify, define, and evaluate novel device concepts and material systems to enable future scaling, performance, power, and reliability improvements.
• Apply deep understanding of semiconductor device physics and first-principles analysis to guide technology development and design trade-offs.
• Serve as an integration owner, aligning device concepts, materials, and process flows into cohesive, actionable technology solutions.
• Design and run experiments in the R&D fab.
• Analyze inline, parametric, and probe data to evaluate operating and failure mechanisms, sources of noise and variability.
• Apply fundamental principles of device physics and materials science to optimize device performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Perform detailed, data-driven analysis across simulation results, material characterization, and silicon data.
• Collaborate multi-functionally with process development, modeling, characterization, reliability, design, and architecture teams.

Required Qualifications:

• PhD or MS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Strong foundation in semiconductor device physics and process integration.
• Demonstrated record of innovation (patents, publications, product-relevant solutions).
• Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills are necessary to communicate technical findings and trade-offs to diverse technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with advanced semiconductor nodes or non-conventional device architectures.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor design and architecture.
• Experience with materials and device characterization.
• Familiarity with TCAD, physics-based modeling, and statistical analysis.
• Background in R&D or technology pathfinding environments
