Job description

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, communicate and advance faster than ever.
The Manufacturing Engineering team is responsible for enabling safe, high-quality, and efficient manufacturing operations. The team partners closely with operations, maintenance, EHS, and engineering teams to drive continuous improvement, equipment reliability, and world‑class manufacturing performance.
In this role you will apply advanced area knowledge to optimize manufacturing performance through problem solving, data analysis, and continuous improvement methodologies. Focused on implementing corrective and preventive actions, you will drive strategic and tactical solutions, while enabling sustainable improvements across safety, quality, and operational performance.

Responsibilities

• Drive quality excellence through deviation reduction, post‑mortem facilitation, qualification strategies, and establishment of leading indicators to prevent equipment and process variation.
• Improve tactical manufacturing performance by reducing unscheduled downtime, optimizing maintenance strategies, and supporting recovery plans and risk mitigation for planned and unplanned events.
• Develop and implement long‑term strategies that enable sustainable improvements in equipment performance, precision maintenance, and scheduled downtime management.
• Apply technical expertise and data analysis to identify root causes, implement permanent corrective actions, and improve performance reporting and decision‑making.
• Lead and support multi‑functional focus teams, partnering with equipment owners, process owners, vendors, and shift personnel using structured problem‑solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, model‑based problem solving).
• Manage site and area initiatives using project management methodologies, prioritizing resources to meet deadlines and deliver key outcomes.
• Support training and documentation processes, including technology transfer from development to high‑volume manufacturing and closing operational training gaps.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, or Associate degree/military equivalent with 2 plus years relevant semiconductor experience.
• More than 2 years semiconductor manufacturing experience with a strong understanding of equipment, process, and TPM methodologies.
• Proven experience applying structured problem‑solving and continuous improvement methodologies in a manufacturing environment.
• Apply AI‑enabled solutions to identify process improvement opportunities, accelerate root cause analysis, and drive productivity gains across operations.
• Proficiency in data analysis, reporting tools, and performance metric development.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading cross‑functional teams and facilitating post‑mortem or root cause reviews.
• Project management experience coordinating complex site or area initiatives.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills across engineering, operations, and maintenance teams.
• Experience supporting safety, quality, and manufacturing performance initiatives.
