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.
The Innovation, Technology and Products - Applied AI and Data Science organization builds AI, machine learning, and analytics systems for hard semiconductor engineering problems. We work directly with product engineering, reliability, test, manufacturing, and systems teams. Our engineers pair semiconductor domain knowledge with modern ML engineering, cloud platforms, and agentic AI. Everything we build is meant to run in production, not stop at a prototype.
We are looking for a Lead Engineer, Applied AI and Agentic Systems. You will own the architecture and drive delivery of AI systems that engineers rely on every day. Problems will reach you vague. You will turn them into designs, plans, and working software.
You bring depth in machine learning plus real strength in software engineering, cloud deployment, and agentic AI. You set direction, review designs, question assumptions, and grow the engineers around you. When a problem gets genuinely hard, you dig into the code alongside the team. If that sounds like your kind of work, we would like to meet you!
Responsibilities:
  • Set the architecture and technical direction for our applied AI, ML, and agentic AI work.
  • Design systems end to end: data pipelines, features, model development, evaluation, inference services, and monitoring.
  • Build the models engineers act on - prediction, diagnosis, optimization, and decision support for semiconductor applications.
  • Ship agentic AI for engineering analysis, knowledge retrieval, workflow automation, and decision support. Define the guardrails and evaluations that earn trust in it.
  • Break wide-open challenges into roadmaps, turning points, and success criteria. Report progress, risk, and model limits plainly to engineers and executives.

Minimum qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • 8 years of relevant experience, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Led complex AI, ML, data science, or software engineering programs as technical lead, directing the work of other engineers.
  • Hands-on machine learning and statistical modeling: supervised learning, feature engineering, validation, performance evaluation, and reading model behavior.
  • Python fluency with PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, or XGBoost. Shipped models into production - inference pipelines, APIs, CI/CD, monitoring.

Preferred qualifications:
  • Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • People leadership: mentoring engineers, developing careers, and forming team capability.
  • Semiconductors, memory, storage, electronics, hardware systems, or advanced manufacturing.
  • AI/ML deployed in cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments - AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, OpenShift, or Docker.
  • LLMs, RAG, and agentic workflows: agent frameworks, model gateways, knowledge graphs, enterprise search, MCP tool integration, or workflow orchestration.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
