I applied for the position of a NAND non-volatile product engineer. I went through a campus interview, and they seemed to like me, so they flew me out to their base in Boise, ID.

The process spanned 5-6 hours, divided into three parts.

The first was a three-person panel interview where I was drilled by both technical and personal questions. This lasted about an hour and a half. They asked things about work ethic and what difficult situations I found myself in. Micron basically wants to know what kind of person you are and how you respond to things.

The second part featured a lunch break on them. Finally, you have another three-person panel where they drill you on more technical questions and try to gauge how you think under pressure. After this, they give you a tour of the facility, and one of the engineers may take you out to dinner.

There are many questions on device physics, such as MOSFET theory, how the device works, and how changing certain parameters, such as dielectric properties, changes how the device reacts.

They'll also ask you basic logic questions about NAND and XOR gates, and possibly have you draw the basic layout of one.

They also throw some curveballs at you that pertain to their specific manufacturing, which is how the floating gate operation works, and how do you utilize it in practice.
