DMTS, Future of Supply Chain

Overview

As Distinguished Member Technical Staff, Future of Supply Chain, you will serve as Micron's technical authority on emerging supply chain capability, defining where the end-to-end supply chain must go technically and leading the identification, evaluation, and incubation of capabilities that create durable competitive advantage.

What you'll do

• Own the Future of Supply Chain innovation portfolio as the recognized technical authority for Micron's global supply chain, spanning multiple technical disciplines and business lines.
• Define and maintain a technology radar and point of view on emerging trends, technologies, and business capabilities; research external and environmental efforts and selectively drive the right ones through Micron.
• Propose new areas for development based on advanced technical judgment, knowledge of Micron's interests, and the competitive landscape, and gain internal alignment.
• Establish the governing system for innovation intake, assessment, experimentation, and recommendation, and make it scale across Global Supply Chain.
• Lead proof-of-concept and pilot efforts through to conclusion of technical readiness, with measurable impact to programs and the business, and drive transition into sustained operational capability.
• Deliver a sustained, demonstrable track record of innovation, championing initiatives that produce worldwide impact and positive ROI for Micron.
• Resolve highly complex, cross-domain problems by integrating expert knowledge across supply chain, data science, operations research, and adjacent technical fields where no established solution exists.
• Evaluate and set direction on emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, advanced analytics, digital twins, automation, and optimization.
• Regularly shape solution roadmaps and functional strategy; exercise influence over critical technology and capability decisions at the division/group level.
• Provide consultation and executive-ready recommendations to functional leaders and senior management on innovation investments, capability bets, and long-term supply chain technical strategy.
• Build and lead a cross-functional innovation community, networking effectively to share methods, information, and expertise across a broad internal and external community.
• Actively mentor technical contributors within and outside the functional area, and serve as a role model for technical leadership, communication, and teamwork.
• Scale impact through a broad network of virtual contributors across the organization, creating a self-sustaining system for innovation across Global Supply Chain.

What you'll need

• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, Data Science, Business, or a related field.
• 15+ years of experience in technology strategy, innovation, digital transformation, advanced analytics, supply chain, or related disciplines.
• Demonstrated track record of major technical accomplishments with regional or global impact and quantified, independently verifiable ROI.
• Sustained record of innovation with clear articulation of direct personal contribution, evidenced by patents, trade secrets, recognized competitive advantages, innovation awards, technical publications or presentations, or customer recognition.
• Recognized as a technical authority within (and ideally outside) Micron across a broad domain or multiple domains.
• Deep applied expertise in artificial intelligence, automation, advanced analytics, digital twins, or comparable emerging technologies, with demonstrated ability to take them from concept to technical readiness.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives spanning multiple sub-functions, sites, and geographies in a matrixed environment.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior and executive management to stop, start, or redirect major technical investments without direct authority.
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and executive presentation skills.
• Demonstrated record of mentoring and developing technical talent.

Nice to have

• Experience in semiconductor, manufacturing, or large-scale global operations environments.
• Experience establishing innovation programs, communities of practice, or technology incubation functions from the ground up.
• Demonstrated ability to translate emerging technologies into scalable, adopted business capabilities at enterprise scale.
• External technical visibility, including industry consortia, standards bodies, conference presentations, advisory boards, or academic/research partnerships.
