As a Technology Development (TD) Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for reviewing, identifying, characterizing, and mitigating process hazards and risks associated with semiconductor manufacturing through systematic review of chemicals, processes, equipment and technologies. You will be part of the TD Operations team at Micron and will play an integral role in the development, implementation and sustainment of a risk-based Process Safety program and to achieve a world class process safety environment while enabling technology and innovation and by cultivating a culture of “safety first”. This role will be a crucial interface between TD and HVM.
Responsibilities
- Support implementation of Micron’s risk-based process safety management system
- Work with site Facility, Fab Engineers, and EHS team members to define and implement process safety solutions and strategies for controlling process hazards associated with chemistries, tools, and facilities systems
- Identify and characterize process hazards in processes, equipment, and technologies using Preliminary Screening Process (PrSP) for facility systems and Relative Risk Analysis (RRA) for Fab tools.
- Review, and conduct hazard and operability studies on tools and systems
- Identify and drive the resolution of potential process safety issues on first-of-a-kind tools, chemicals, and materials. Prepare transfer documentation and training for manufacturing
- Effectively partner with EHS teams, facilities, operations, engineering groups, global process safety teams, and suppliers on mitigating or controlling identified hazards and risks. Drive key suppliers to enable safe and compliant equipment installations and chemical usage
- Evaluate process chemistries, including reactivity, byproduct formation, and other material characteristics (i.e. flammability, corrosives, etc.)
- Collaborate with manufacturing sites to review first-of-a-kind tool installations as well as chemical applications that fall outside of process transfer from PHA.
- Transfer of PHA documents to the receiving sites. This covers HAZOPs, RRA, SRD, and other correlated information, allowing the sites where it is received to comprehend and assess for alignment with local codes, setup, and requirements.
- Engage with TD engineers and receiving sites to support the efficient handover of PHA activities
- Participate and lead incident investigations when Process Safety is involved
Requirements
- BS, or MS in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Sciences or a related field
- At least 5 years of relevant working experience
- Semiconductor industry experience is a must
- Proficient in communication, able to comprehend and relay highly technical or complex information to a diverse audience
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with great attention to detail
- Proficient with Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, etc.
- A high level of self-motivation with the ability to work with minimal direction
- Familiarity with semiconductor processes and equipment
