Job description

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

As a key leader within High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Product Engineering Media Health team, you will spearhead and develop a high performing team driving both intrinsic and extrinsic reliability test development and execution for Micron’s latest HBM products, both on DRAM and Interface die and a stacked product. Your responsibility is to drive extrinsic DPM reduction (Time 0 and Field DPM) and lead the intrinsic reliability charter, along with optimized Manufacturing Test Flow to meet critical KPI’s Quality, Cost and Cycle Time.

You will be leading the team to characterize the products from reliability aspect, identify the reliability gaps, working on root cause and resolution of qual and RMA failures pertaining to defectivity and intrinsic reliability margin and drive fab process improvement driven by the qual failures.

Additionally, your team will also be the key person in frontend process conversion, where you will work with Fab, TD, GQ teams to establish robust business process for process conversions to facilitate yield improvements, DPM and Cost Reduction.

You will collaborate across functions within and outside of HBM to meet both strategic and tactical objectives while continually maximizing the effectiveness of the HIG HBM PE organization.

The future of HBM are exciting and dynamics. Micron is seeking experienced individuals that find technical challenges engaging and invigorating.

Responsibilities

• Reliability Test Flow Development: Define and develop reliability stress, test flows and test plans to cover all Product Reliability aspects.
• Reliability Test Plan and Execution: Work closely with Global Quality team to define qualification plan, review and manage the qualification execution progress, and drive for qualification gating issue resolution.
• DPM reduction: Drive down and achieving Extrinsic Reliability (Time 0 and Field DPM) and Intrinsic Reliability through Optimized Manufacturing Test Flows and Test Strategy to meet critical KPI’s Quality, Cost and Cycle Time.
• Root Cause and Resolution of Qual and RMA Device Issues pertaining to defectivity and intrinsic reliability: Debug and identify root cause and failures in reliability tests by electric failure analysis(EFA) and Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) and drive for resolution and improvements through cross functional team collaboration.
• Process Conversions and HVM: The role involves providing recommendation to fab teams for new process conversions to reduce cost, increase yields.
• Risk Management: The role requires communication with Product Managers/Leads to manage risks associated with DPM process conversions.
• Promotion of Innovation: The role involves promoting innovation and driving for changes that will provide Micron with a technical advantage over its competition.
• Mentorship and Development of Others: The role involves actively developing and mentoring others.
• Project Management: Developing project management skills within the team ensures efficient execution of projects, leading to timely delivery of technological solutions.
• Technical Decision Making: The role involves making final decisions on risk analysis and project prioritization.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: This role necessitates collaboration with various cross-functional teams such as Fab, HBM Technology Development, HBM Design, System Development, and Quality/Reliability team.
• AI Strategy for Reliability: Identify and scope high-leverage AI use cases by using Claude code, agentic AI etc in product qualifications; partner with internal teams to pilot and productionize solutions.
• Applied Machine Learning: Proficient in applying machine learning (regression, classification, anomaly detection, clustering) and AI assisted tools to reliability datasets to segment fails, outliers etc.
• AI-First Mindset & Mentorship: Actively coach engineers on AI adoption; embed AI/automation into reliability workflows as a standard practice, aligned with Micron's AI-first productivity direction.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering or a related field.
