Job Description

At Micron Technology, the Boise site is expanding to support a historic investment in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The Boise expansion team plays a critical role in enabling next‑generation DRAM production by building, scaling, and sustaining world‑class manufacturing capabilities in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

The Senior Photolithography Scanner Application Engineer is responsible for driving application‑level performance and optimization of advanced lithography scanner systems to enable high‑volume DRAM manufacturing. This role serves as a key technical interface between process engineering, equipment engineering, and external partners, resolving complex process‑equipment interactions that directly impact yield, stability, and scalability.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, optimize, and sustain photolithography scanner applications to support high‑volume DRAM manufacturing.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex scanner, process, and equipment issues using deep platform knowledge (e.g., ASML, Canon).
• Partner with process integration, equipment engineering, and suppliers to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Drive improvements in yield, defectivity, overlay, CDU, and overall tool performance through data‑driven analysis.
• Lead or contribute to cross‑functional initiatives focused on productivity improvement, cost reduction, and risk mitigation.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor photolithography with a focus on scanner applications (ASML, Canon, or equivalent).
• Experience supporting or interfacing with leading semiconductor manufacturers to resolve process or application issues.
• Demonstrated background in both process engineering and equipment or application engineering within a fab environment.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or related technical field, equivalent military experience, or an AAS with 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Willingness to travel internationally for onboarding, training, or supplier and customer collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep understanding of photolithography fundamentals and advanced scanner technologies, including overlay, CDU, focus, and exposure control.
• Proven experience troubleshooting complex interactions between scanner hardware, process conditions, and materials.
• Experience working in high‑volume manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with SPC, fault detection, and data analytics methodologies.
• Programming or data analysis experience using tools such as Python, JMP, or MATLAB.
