You will find, develop, characterize, qualify, and integrate new materials that make new product architectures possible. You'll also improve performance, reliability, manufacturability, scalability, and cost.\nYou will work with materials science, process development, integration, product, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to turn scientific insight into technology impact. We're looking for people who question assumptions, look beyond their own field, and stay with hard, ambiguous problems until they're solved. Direct semiconductor experience is valuable but not required. We encourage candidates from other materials-intensive industries and research institutions to apply.\nResponsibilities\nDevelop, characterize, qualify, and integrate advanced materials for next-generation memory and packaging technologies.\nForm hypotheses, design and run rigorous experiments, analyze data, and use the results to guide materials and technology decisions.\nInvestigate materials behavior, including interfaces, adhesion, mechanical response, thermal performance, chemical compatibility, reliability, and process interactions.\nDrive materials development in areas such as: Polymer composites and encapsulation materials, such as NCF, MUF, mold compounds, underfills, and die-attach materials. Temporary bonding and release materials, carrier systems, back-grind and dicing tapes, and other materials for thin-wafer handling. Dielectrics, films and coatings, adhesion and surface preparation materials, thermal materials, and substrate or RDL materials. Emerging material platforms for HBM, 3D memory, and heterogeneous integration.\nConstructively challenge existing assumptions, specifications, and practices when data supports a better approach.\nPartner with process, integration, product, manufacturing, quality, equipment, and supplier teams to move materials from concept through qualification and manufacturing readiness.\nWork with suppliers, universities, research organizations, and other external partners to evaluate new materials technologies and speed up their development.\nUse modeling, simulation, data analytics, and AI tools to speed up materials development and problem solving.\nContribute invention disclosures, patents, technical reports, and publications where appropriate.\nBasic Qualifications\nMS or PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Polymer Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering with a strong materials focus, or a closely related field.\nProfessional or research experience developing, characterizing, qualifying, integrating, or scaling advanced materials technologies.\nStrong materials science fundamentals, including structure-property-process-performance relationships.\nProven ability to solve complex, multidisciplinary technical problems through experimentation, analysis, and structured problem solving.\nClear technical communication and the ability to collaborate across disciplines, organizations, suppliers, and geographies.\nAbility to work independently, build alignment, and deliver results as part of a global team.\nFinal level will be based on technical depth, demonstrated impact, scope, independence, and relevant experience.\nPreferred Qualifications\nPhD in a relevant technical discipline.\nExperience taking a new material, product, process, or manufacturing capability from concept through implementation.\nDocumented innovation, such as patents, invention disclosures, or publications.\nExperience working with materials suppliers, universities, research labs, startups, or industry consortia.\nBackground in semiconductors, microelectronics, advanced packaging, aerospace, photonics, energy, specialty chemicals, composites, or another technology-intensive materials field.\nHands-on experience with polymer encapsulation, temporary bonding/debonding, thin-wafer handling, or thermal and interface materials.\nExperience using AI-enabled tools, modeling, or data analytics to improve technical learning and decision quality.\nAs a world leader in the semiconductor industry, Micron is dedicated to your personal wellbeing and professional growth.
