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.

Role Summary

We are currently experiencing a ground‑breaking period in artificial intelligence (AI), where AI is anticipated to become an integral component of daily life. This proliferation is being fueled by advances in memory and compute technologies. High bandwidth memory (HBM) is at the forefront of these innovations. Micron’s Advanced Packaging Technology Development (APTD) is responsible to deliver package development for high performance memory products and transfer to manufacturing. We are looking for an Advanced Packaging Metrology‑RDA Engineer to join our Advanced Packaging Technology Development (APTD) team! Your responsibilities include but are not limited to developing and enabling innovative inspection and metrology techniques to enable advanced packaging technologies. You will also be required to identify, diagnose, and propose yield related breakthroughs. You will have opportunity to work with peers and partners across organizations to coordinate the development and launch of new metrology and RDA technologies for solutions that drive the future. Additional responsibilities include establishing equipment evaluation and long‑range strategy to enable advanced packaging technology roadmap.

Main Responsibilities

• Recipe Development and Optimization: Develop and optimize metrology recipes for various semiconductor processes. Ensure that the recipes are accurate and efficient for production needs. Develop and execute strategies for process monitoring, sampling, and continuous improvement (CIP).
• Inspection and Characterization: Establish inspection methodologies and best‑known methods (BKM) for metrology processes. Perform in‑line characterization and validation of metrology recipes. Data Analysis and Reporting: Utilize data analysis tools like Power BI to summarize and report on metrology recipe status and project progress. Continuously analyze data to identify improvement opportunities and ensure process efficiency.
• Quality and Performance Indicators: Own and manage metrology tools, ensuring they meet performance indicators and quality standards. Drive the defense line readiness and set up control plans, OCAP (Out of Control Action Plans), and SPC (Statistical Process Control) charts.
• Collaboration and Coordination: Engage in early involvement with Advanced Packaging Technology Development (APTD) to ensure seamless integration of new technologies. Work closely with various teams, including the Package Integration, PWF/Assembly Engineering, Front End Wafer Fab, Assembly/Test Engineering, Product Engineering, and Global Quality, to integrate manufacturing processes for optimal performance and quality control.
• AI Responsibilities: Integrates AI‑assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements. Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI‑enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum Required Qualifications: PhD with ≥2 years Master’s degree with ≥5 years, or Bachelor’s degree with ≥7 years of relevant experience in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Semiconductor process or equipment engineering experience, preferably in wafer bonding, plating, warpage control and packaging field.

Must Have Technical Skills

• Proficiency in Python, R, SQL for statistical analysis, process modeling, and data analytics.
• Experience with Visual Basic for automation and tool integration.
• Familiarity with E3, FDC (Fault Detection and Classification), and RMS (Recipe Management System) for equipment and process control.
• Strong data analytics capabilities to support SPC, DOE, defect analysis, and dashboarding.
• Strong understanding of process flows, process interactions, and how process changes can affect yield, performance, and reliability.
• Hands on experience with wafer/assembly tools or metrology/RDA systems.

Must Have Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving capabilities.
• Outstanding communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
