Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing. Micron is the 4th largest semiconductor company in the world, and the only memory manufacturer in the United States, and we are headquartered right here in Boise, Idaho. We are looking to grow the next generation of talented engineers
