• Monitor process indicators (e.g., Statistical Process Control charts, dashboards, alarms) to identify unusual situations and take appropriate action using tools such as Microsoft Office.
• Communicate clearly, handle time optimally, and follow procedures with minimal direction.
• Collect, review, and document production and process data using computer‑based systems to support output, quality, and traceability.
• Conduct technical experiments, run process tests, and prepare data visualizations to identify yield and process trends.
• Complete required safety training, work safely in varied environments (including uneven terrain and confined spaces), and respond appropriately to potential hazards.
• Participate in shift pass down and cross‑functional communication to ensure production continuity.

Minimum Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent experience.
• Availability for 12‑hour shifts (3 days on/4 days off and 4 days on/3 days off), with flexibility to move between shifts or work overtime as needed. Ability to work Night shift.
• Ability to wear cleanroom garments (approximately 20%, depending on department) and occasional PPE such as chemical aprons and face shields (~1% of the time).
• Proficiency in applying AI technologies such as Copilot, Claude, etc.

Preferred Requirements

• Associate degree or equivalent experience, technical certification, military training, or applied coursework in science, engineering, manufacturing, or related fields.
• Experience demonstrating well‑adapted execution, data‑driven work, or process adherence in manufacturing, laboratory, cleanroom, or other high‑reliability environments.
• Experience with process monitoring, data interpretation, or Statistical Process concepts (training on Micron‑specific systems will be provided upon hire).
• Experience in using Artificial Intelligence tools like MS 365 Copilot, Claude etc.
