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.

As a Metrology Operations Shift Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc. in Manassas, VA (MTV), you will be responsible for investigating, improving and maintaining measurement recipes within the Metrology department. You will work with applications team and shift team members within the department as well as shift engineers from other process areas to investigate and resolve any measurement recipe related issues as well as equipment related issues occurring within the fabrication line!

Responsibilities

• Resolve recipe issues with line monitoring, analyze tools, identify root cause, and intensify to process engineering teams.
• Engage process areas regarding measurement and inspection recipe related investigations and works with their engineering teams to identify plan of action. Involves themselves in fab-wide events that may have impacted production quality. Can organize and drive RDA/Metrology shift actions to respond to such events!
• Works with first shift engineers to understand recipe related concerns and is involved in execution of shift actions that are associated with such work. This includes creating recipes for new part types on all toolsets and creating custom recipes with GDM for difficult lots.
• Process DTS case closures and MWR's. Provide real-time feedback to shift team members when there are any issues that are identified with these documentations.
• Manage WIP in the area by monitoring lots and KPI holds in the area. Ensure proper focus is placed on priority issues, but quickly handling Q time lots, deleting WIP and responding to watchdog notifications.
• Improve product cycle time and lead area WIP by ensuring recipe releases and availability on tool.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related technical field; or equivalent semiconductor manufacturing experience
• 0-3+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, metrology, or process/equipment engineering (shift operations experience preferred)
• Hands-on experience in high-volume manufacturing environments preferred
• Working knowledge of semiconductor metrology tools and measurement techniques (e.g., optical metrology, film measurement, defect inspection)
• Good understanding of Agentic AI or willingness to learn Agentic AI to help developed efficient workflow.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Metrology, RDA, or Inspection areas within a semiconductor fab
• Familiarity with recipe tracking systems and documentation control
• Experience supporting shift operations or 24x7 manufacturing environments
• Participation in continuous improvement initiatives (yield, cost, cycle time reduction)
