Principal Engineer, CMP - PROCT Advanced Development Team

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 Principal Engineer and Member of the Technical Staff in the Procurement and Operations Central Teams (PROCT) and Advanced Development Team (ADT), you will primarily focus on the early maturity phase of new products as they transition from technology development centers to our high-volume manufacturing sites. Your contributions to our team will support innovation and enable improvements in product yield, quality, and cost reduction that are vital to enable our manufacturing strategy.

We are looking for outstanding professionals experienced with semiconductor process development/optimization, hardware and supplier management, and an understanding of NAND & DRAM integration to contribute and grow with our organization. Good organization skills and the ability to work independently or in teams are a must, and because this role is essential to the success of Micron's products, it will require international travel to Micron manufacturing and technology development sites.

Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Responsible for managing and executing CMP-related projects.
• Collaborate closely with different teams across TD and HVM to ensure all CMP processes successfully transfer and achieve fast yield ramp-up.
• Engage with different vendors and continuously drive H2H projects to close technical and cost gaps.
• Develop or co-develop manufacturing roadmaps with TD and HVM teams in CMP processes.
• Perform fundamental research to drive innovative solutions for next-generation products.
• Establish and improve process conditions and technology.
• Upgrade process capability and reduce production costs.
• Establish and modify process management projects.
• Set up process parameters for a variety of semiconductor equipment.
• Evaluation, promotion, and planning of new equipment/materials.
• Abnormal analysis and improvement.

Qualifications

• Experienced troubleshooting, experimental design, and data analysis skills.
• Understanding of hardware used for semiconductor processing.
• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing areas like Etch, Films, or Planarization.
• Understanding of process control, statistics for engineering, and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Understanding of solid-state device physics and process integration.
• Understanding of semiconductor metrology, defect analysis, probe, and test methodologies.

Education:

• Required: Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
• Preferred: Master's Degree or PhD.
