As a Central PIE Yield Engineer / Senior Engineer / Principal Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for providing leadership to the global Micron network to drive yield, product quality improvement, new product introduction (NPI) through technical expertise, business process management and project execution.
This role needs to centralize the project information, including achievements, design requirements and testing difficulties from multiple departments located in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, US; and drive the project to meet specs within defined tight schedule.
Responsibilities and Tasks
- Promote worldwide alignment for improved benchmark performance and efficiency gains through global project management and execution, network BKM leveraging and enhancement, and business process creation and re-engineering.
- Drives yield breakthroughs by understanding the comprehensive test flow across steps, testing conditions, product design/operation and propose an effective solution for yield versus reliability requirements.
- Foster innovation to solve yield issues with the help of generating ideas from characterizing the device fail-modes using the deeper expertise in device architecture, physics, and available testing knobs.
- Lead a multi-functional team to build frontiers in the areas of yield improvement by demonstrating the knowledge of test flow, device, bench characterization, fab process and technologies.
- Strong collaboration with Product, Test, Quality and Fab Engineering to develop best in class process, BKMs and work towards alignment across fabs, tech-nodes and technologies to achieve benchmark yield performance.
- Maintain and improve knowledge and technical expertise, explore innovation opportunities with critical thinking and detailed approach.
- Maintain a strong and open relationship with peer group and managers in other functional areas within central team and outside in areas such as Fab, Technology and Development, Product, Test and Quality Engineering.
- Communicate and respond to issues in a timely manner.
- Demonstrate ability to give effective presentations to both small and large groups on project updates and new initiative proposals.
- Periodically follow up with manager to ensure all type of goals are met and get assistance to remove obstacles.
- Travel to Micron Fab locations as necessary for face-to-face work.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s / Masters / PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or related field of study.
- Knowledge in Semiconductor Device Physics, DRAM/NAND/Logic product operations, parametric/electrical test, and probe yield.
- Experience in Product, Test, Yield, Design Engineering will be added advantage.
- Experience on DRAM High Bandwidth Memory will be a plus to this job position.
- Good data analysis, debugging, problem solving, reporting and presentation skills.
- Good multi-tasking, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Strong interpersonal skills and customer/co-worker relationships. Validated teamwork skills with a strong focus on developing good team dynamics.
- Good organizational capabilities and ability to work effectively with minimal direction.
- Intermediate to advanced PC skills including Microsoft Office.
- Ability to be flexible with job responsibilities and take the initiative to assume added responsibilities.
Maximizes yield by working on tools, the process, or wafer fabrication recipes. Troubleshoots wafer fabrication problems and performs root cause analysis. Works with other process areas to understand and control process deviations. Long-term investigation of defect issues may require extensive work with shift engineering and other functional areas. Evaluates products to ensure they meet the required design and performance specifications. Conducts research to assess process adjustment requirements and recommends process improvements or equipment changes needed to efficiently manufacture new product or part types.
