Staff Engineer – Process Development, Cell Film, NAND, Singapore

The Staff Engineer develops, optimizes, and characterizes cell film thin film processes (ALD/CVD) to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets. The role supports scaling across nodes and platforms, owns parts of a process module/sub‑module under guidance, tracks margins, sensitivities, and integration risks, and drives resolution of process‑ and tool‑related issues.

• Process Development & Optimization – design and execute well‑planned experiments; analyze data and translate results into process improvements; support scaling of cell film processes across nodes and platforms.
• Module Ownership & Issue Resolution – own defined portions of a process module/sub‑module; track process margins, key sensitivities, and integration risks; drive resolution of process/tool‑related issues within assigned scope.
• Process Integration & Correlation – work closely with integration and device teams to ensure compatibility and electrical performance; correlate material/structural/electrical data to guide optimization; support failure analysis and root‑cause investigations for yield and reliability issues.
• Tool/Hardware Engagement – build hands‑on knowledge of cell film equipment/hardware behavior; support tool qualifications, upgrades, and platform transfers; partner with suppliers to improve stability and capability.
• Communication & Technical Growth – communicate results via technical reports, reviews, and data summaries; elevate risks with data‑driven recommendations; mentor junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing; integrate AI‑assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency and quality.

• Communicate results clearly through reports, reviews, and data summaries; elevate risks with data‑driven recommendations.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.

• PhD ≥3yrs, or Master’s ≥5yrs, or Bachelor’s ≥7yrs of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• Experience in thin film R&D for microelectronic devices with a proven track record of leading complex technology development.

• Strong fundamentals in ALD/CVD and materials characterization; working knowledge of plasma processes, vacuum systems, and chemical reactions; ability to link process conditions to material properties and device behavior.
• Familiarity with electrical test methods and fab metrology tools.
• Understanding of NAND cell structures and basic device physics.

• Structured problem‑solving and learning agility in an R&D environment.
• Clear communication and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Embodiment of Micron’s core values: People, Innovation, Tenacity, Collaboration, Customer Focus.
