Senior Data Scientist
Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
As a Data Scientist (Smart Manufacturing & AI) at Micron, you will develop data-driven solutions that improve semiconductor manufacturing yield, quality, and productivity. Working alongside senior data scientists and product owners, you will build predictive models, develop AI-powered solutions, and contribute to analytical pipelines that solve real-world manufacturing challenges involving die-level, wafer-level, and test data.
Responsibilities and Tasks
Test Solutions Engineering (TSE) Predictive Solutions: Build and productionize machine learning models (classification and regression) to support predictive and prescriptive analytics across semiconductor test and manufacturing processes.
Agentic AI and LLM Development:
Contribute to the design and implementation of multi-agent systems for TSE workflows, including code generation, automated troubleshooting, and process optimization.
Work with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines: identify data sources, develop retrieval strategies, and improve context quality for LLM-based applications.
Assist in implementing tool-using capabilities, function calling, and agent memory systems.
Software Engineering and Productionalization:
Develop maintainable code and analytical pipelines suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments.
Optimize for performance, latency, and token efficiency.
Collaborate with senior team members on testing, deployment, and monitoring.
Communicate analytical insights, model behavior, and results clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
