About The Position

Micron is seeking a Senior Principal CAD Engineer to help shape the engineering environment that powers Memory product development across DRAM, HBM, NAND, and custom memory programs. In this high-impact technical role, you will partner with Micron’s CAD Software and HPC teams to architect, modernize, and scale the platforms our worldwide design teams rely on every day, from CAD software infrastructure, project setup flows, and quality-gating solutions to engineering automation and compute workload scalability. You will also define how success is measured. By developing improvement and quality metrics for job management and workflow performance, you will establish customer-facing service levels that give design teams clear visibility into the performance of their environment and give engineering leaders a data-driven path to continuous improvement. Along the way, you will help bring next-generation AI and agentic software solutions into Design Automation, working closely with CAD, Design Engineering, HPC, and EDA vendors.
