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.
Micron is seeking a highly capable MRL Infrastructure Director to connect Micron Research Labs (MRL) with the project team building MRL's flagship research facility in Boise, Idaho. You will help the MRL leadership team guide the facility from requirements definition and design through construction, laboratory installation, commissioning, and research readiness.
Acting as MRL's owner representative, this leader will translate the research mission into clear user requirements for the building, laboratories, technical infrastructure, convening spaces, and shared amenities. They will align researchers and internal stakeholders, keeping requirements traceable and actionable, and represent the MRL leadership team in meetings with construction, architecture and engineering (A&E), facilities, procurement, contracting firms, and other delivery partners.
The leader will drive timely decisions, manage interfaces and risks, challenge designs for functionality and flexibility, and verify that the completed facility meets approved requirements. The role extends through construction, equipment integration, commissioning, acceptance, and handoff readiness.
This role requires a credible technical leader and hands-on builder who can connect scientific users with design and construction teams. Successful candidates will combine disciplined requirements management, sound engineering judgment, executive communication, influence without direct authority, and decisive execution in a complex greenfield program.
The successful candidate will operate in an AI-enabled environment and leverage AI-powered and digital technologies to improve requirements management, design coordination, risk assessment, decision-making, project execution, and operational readiness throughout the facility lifecycle.
