Job description

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.

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

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,communicateand advance faster than ever.

As part of the HIG HBM Product and System Engineering organization, you will be leading a team of engineers building the predictive models that determine how HBM is screened, dispositioned, and tested in high-volume manufacturing.

In this role, you will work on intelligent systems that improve engineering productivity, strengthen technical decision-making, and unlock insights from complex manufacturing, validation, and engineering workflows.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams across Product and System Engineering, DesignEngineering,Test Engineering,Data Science, IT, and Manufacturing to prototype, build, and scale practical AI-driven solutions that improve quality, cost, cycle time, and engineering efficiency. Also, you will need to be experienced as people leader and manager and able to lead, manage and coach a group of engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Mentorship and Development: Actively mentor and develop team members to foster growth and development within the team and the organization.
• Team and Technical Leadership: Lead a team of engineers, set technical direction, review modeling work with rigor, balance workload across a shifting portfolio, and hire and onboard to raise the technical bar of the team.
• Predictive Yield and Reliability Modeling: Own the design, training, validation, and productization of models that predict yield loss, defect escapes, and reliability risk from manufacturing and test data, applying gradient-boosted tree methods, time-series and temporal models, anomaly detection, and classical statistical methods.
• Model Lifecycle and Drift Control: Build and operate the deployment path, including real-time and batch inference, result storage, performance monitoring, drift detection, retraining triggers, feature change management, and rollback, ensuring training and production feature pipelines are provably identical.
• Machine Learning Production: Develop and productionize machine learning and deep learning models for classification, regression, anomaly detection, failure analysis, and engineering decision support.
• Large-Scale Data Pipelines:Develop scalable data pipelines and analytical workflows to ingest, clean, transform, and analyze large, complex, and heterogeneous datasets from multiple manufacturing and engineering systems.
• Advanced Data Analytics:Apply Python, SQL, and data science libraries (e.g., pandas, matplotlib) to perform deep analysis, generate visualizations, and deliver actionable engineering insights.
• Distributed Data Processing:Implement robust data processing techniques such as data cleansing, outlier detection, andmissing-datahandling using distributed or large-scale frameworks (e.g.,PySpark,BigQuery).
• Production Deployment:Support deployment, monitoring, and operationalization of AI/ML solutions in cloud and enterprise environments.
• GenAI and Agentic Augmentation:Apply GenAI and agentic systems to failure triage, root-cause analysis, engineering knowledge retrieval, data extraction, code generation, and analysis automation, and use modern AI coding tools to raise team throughput.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:Partner with domain experts and cross-functional teams to translate complex engineering problems into scalable AI/ML and analytics solutions, and align with Product, Test, Yield, Process, and Fab teams on fail-mode definitions, screening conditions, disposition changes, and deployment decision-making.
• Technical Communication:Communicate technical findings, recommendations, and model outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Innovation Leadership:Identifyand drive high-impact opportunities where machine learning, advanced analytics, and GenAI can improve yield, quality, cost, cycle time, and engineering productivity.
