Ability to write and present clear and concise executive summaries for Micron and supplier management teams. * Proven statistical data analysis capabilty; expertise in JMP or Python * Experiemce using LLM or AI for productivity ## Description As a Lithography pathfinding process development engineer at Micron Technology in Boise, Idaho, you will evaluate advanced lithography including Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) and High Numerical Aperture (High NA) EUV on next-generation memory parts. You will collaborate with our team to define roadmap requirements for next-generation memory, and how new technologies intercept our roadmap. You will partner with technology development and manufacturing to ensure they will be ready to implement EUV and other new patterning approaches. This role may require travel to support high NA EUV work. Responsibilities: In this role, you will need to have strong semiconductor pathfinding skills in an R&D department specific to High NA EUV and photolithography. This position is intended to be part of Micron's Technical Leadership Program (TLP). This is a career path for individuals seeking to advance as technical leaders and industry innovators. TLP members are expected to influence, lead, and mentor others. * Define and lead pathfinding activities for new patterning technology. Identify applications on our roadmaps where EUV or High NA EUV offers a benefit and work with process integration to define an implementation plan. * Develop EUV modules in our technology development (TD) site. This includes setting up lithography processes and working with other process areas and process integration to meet manufacturing requirements. * Travel up to once a month to New York or other locations to support early learning for high NA EUV. * Partner with defect inspection teams and our mask shop to develop appropriate inspection strategies for EUV masks. * Collaborate with manufacturing sites to align on equipment and materials requirements, and to make sure EUV processes are aligned for transfer. ## Related Videos - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/393-the-billion-dollar-machine-first-time-right) - [Creating Industry ready solutions with LLM Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/899-creating-industry-ready-solutions-with-llm-models) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) - [Lies, Damned Lies and Large Language Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1231-lies-damned-lies-and-large-language-models) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Welcome to Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/4-welcome-to-switzerland) - [Dev Digest 129 - Now that's what I call private data!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/468-dev-digest-129-now-that-s-what-i-call-private-data) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
