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.

Monitor and react to wafer quality indicators and quality events highlighted by Fab Process, Product Engineering, and Site QA teams. Proactively contain any deviated or non-conforming material from shipping out to both internal and external customers. Create technical product risk assessment reports on deviated or non-conforming material in your areas of ownership, decide on additional QA data collection requirements, and recommend final disposition of the product. Coordinate Global MRB (Material Review Board) meetings with PQRA, PE, Site QA, and Supply Chain, Finance teams to assess product quality and reliability risk and finalize disposition balancing supply chain and Q&R risks. Monitor Outgoing Quality Control (OQC) from BEOL processes and coordinate with BE Assembly and Test teams to disposition deviations assigned to FE Fabs. Assess risk, define Q&R data collection requirements, and approve planned deviations as part of Global Conversion/Change Management business process. Create SBL QRA hold criteria, maintain, and update criteria on regular cadence. Coordinate with Site QA team to identify root- cause for RMAs & deviations and drive corrective and preventive actions using systematic problem-solving methodologies such as 8D, 5 Whys, and/or Fishbone. Collaborate with Site QA team to formalize Customer Communication for all Automotive RMA’s, CSPL Inline and Electrical specification CpK performances. Lead projects to drive global compliance to manufacturing quality standards and support Automotive Zero Defects program. Design and develop automation solutions for routine QA monitoring, risk assessment, and disposition tasks. Develop QA dashboards and automated reports using R, Python, or Tableau; build ML models and interactive Web API dashboards to predict wafer/die level quality.

Employer will accept a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Microelectronics, Physics or related field.

Position requires:

• 1. Semiconductor device physics, MOSFET working principles, and fabrication processes;
• 2. CMOS or DRAM/NAND/NOR memory reliability failure modes;
• 3. Statistics and Process Control (SPC) concepts in manufacturing environment; and
• 4. Data analysis, analytical problem solving, and decision‑making skills
