Job Title

Senior Engineer - NAND Cell Reliability

Role Summary

Responsible for electrical characterization, reliability assessment, and experimental design for NAND cell technologies. Work on wafer- and component-level experiments to identify failure mechanisms, validate process or trim solutions, and close reliability gaps for JEDEC and internal qualifications.

Position is on-site at Micron Fab 10N/X in Singapore and is part of a cross-functional team including process development and product engineering.

Experience Level

Senior. Title indicates a senior role; no explicit years of experience stated.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include designing experiments, analyzing data, and communicating reliability status and mitigation plans.

• Assess NAND cell reliability risks and define process/trim/test strategies to meet JEDEC and internal qualification requirements.
• Design experiments to identify and segment limiting reliability mechanisms.
• Plan and execute high-volume electrical experiments at wafer and component level; perform statistical analysis to validate solutions.
• Provide continuous feedback and status updates to process development and product teams.
• Contribute to technology roadmaps and reliability risk assessments for next-generation NAND devices.
• Integrate AI-assisted tools into workflows to improve efficiency and share AI-enabled improvements within scope of work.

Requirements
