Position Overview: As a Process Integration Engineer for Advanced Packaging, you will own the end-to-end integration of next generation package architectures like 2.5D, 3D stacking, HBM memory integration, and hybrid bonding. You’ll lead new technology development and technology transfer, design DOEs, and analyze yield and reliability. You will coordinate across device, design, process, equipment, test, and manufacturing teams to deliver high performance multi-die technology. 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.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years experience in advanced packaging technology development (2.5D/3D, HBM)
• Hands-on knowledge of advanced interconnects/TSV, die stacking, underfill, molding, and bonding flows
• Proficiency in DOE/SPC and data analysis (e.g., JMP/Minitab/Python); demonstrated root-cause problem solving and yield improvement.
• Experience with metrology: SAM, Xray/CT, IR, warpage profilers (shadow moiré/DIC)
• Strong communication skills; ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive actions to closure in fast-paced environments.
• Direct experience with hybrid bonding integration and reliability (W2W/C2W)
• Demonstrated success in HBM and logic integration (including thermal co-optimization)
• Warpage modeling and inline correlation experience
• Deep familiarity with underfills, reworkable strategies, and TC bonding optimization
• Candidates must have experience and the ability to adhere to cleanroom environment/EHS protocols.
• This role entails occasional travel to sites in Asia for integration development and transfer support.

Responsibilities

• Own package-level process integration across 2.5D/3D flows (wafer-to-wafer, chip-to-wafer, advanced interconnects), defining specs and process windows that meet high performance targets for HPC/AI products.
• Develop and integrate semiconductor manufacturing processes; Design, optimize, and implement fabrication flows that seamlessly integrate multiple steps (lithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, CMP, and thin films) into cohesive production processes.
• Plan, run, and analyze targeted experiments to validate new materials, process parameters, and design rules to improve yield and device performance.
• Design and execute DOEs on bonding, underfill, molding, stacking, and integration steps; Apply SPC to parametrics and yield detractors and close the loop with corrective actions.
• Analyze yield, performance, and defect data. Utilize big data, physical, electrical, and defect data to root-cause process weaknesses, yield issues, and tool variances. Employ SPC and advanced analytics.
• Lead technology transfer from TD to TD and HVM. Establish mask rules, materials, tool readiness, baseline qualification, and technology validation plans.
• Hybrid bonding (CuCu + dielectric) integration; Set surface prep, planarity and alignment requirements, qualify W2W/C2W flows, and track defectivity and reliability.
• Thermocompression & microbump flows; Optimize underfill, TC bonding windows, and pillar/bump geometries for high I/O assemblies.
• HBM and interposer systems; Co-optimize TSV/interconnect routing and thermal paths to meet bandwidth/latency targets. Align package floorplans with chiplet partitioning.
• Warpage engineering; Predict and mitigate wafer/die warpage via modeling, cure shrinkage controls, and material/process levers. Validate with inline metrology.
• Metrology and inspection; Deploy SAM, IR microscopy, and emerging XRD warpage mapping to correlate process, defects, and reliability.

Benefits

• Micron benefits are designed to help you stay well, provide peace of mind and help you prepare for the future.
• We offer a choice of medical, dental and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.
• Micron also provides benefit programs that help protect your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave.
• Additionally, Micron benefits include a robust paid time-off program and paid holidays.
