As a QEM PQE Quality engineer, you will be responsible to monitor and drive continuous improvement for the quality and reliability of cutting-edge memory/storage products manufactured in Fab10. Support the wafer manufacturing efforts for developing, validating, characterizing, and qualifying new products, enabling volume manufacturing with improved reliability performance to fulfill customer requirements. Leverage the knowledge of electrical operation and wafer fabrication technology of advanced NAND memory products to conduct root cause understanding for reliability failures or customer returns, and facilitate the implementation of required Fab specifications and documentation to ensure product quality meets or exceeds customer expectations.

Job Responsibility:

• Responsible for monitoring and improving Quality and Reliability for products out of Fab, including wafer level reliability sampling for Outgoing Quality Control.

• Responsible to collect wafer level reliability data, manage various Reliability scorecard, and drive fab activities to improve Reliability performance (Extrinsic, Intrinsic, Process) for continuous improvement.

• Ensure proper reliability and quality indicators including OQRM, Probe, Parametric, and Inline metrics are in place and meeting goals.

• Drive for continuous improvement in quality metrics, such as Product Grades, High Stack Eligibility.

• Fab representative to respond and drive resolution to Customer Issues/RMA.

• Support Risk Assessment for excursion materials, work closely with Global Quality team to manage the MRB process.

• Manage follow-on qualification activities during HVM. Work closely with the global teams to ensure critical product milestones are met.

• Lead/Participate in Site Quality Programs and Defense Line Initiatives.

• Build strong partnership with Global Quality/PE teams.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's/Master's Degree in Electronics/Microelectronics/Material Science/Physics/Applied Science
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively both written and verbal to all level.
• Proven ability in multi-tasking complex projects and driving them to completion.
• Strong teamwork skills and the ability to build strong peer relationships
• Good understanding of CMOS device physics is an added advantage
• Knowledge of NAND devices operations is an added advantage
• Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron
• Embody Micron's core values:

People - Respect, develop, and empower others

Innovation - Drive continuous improvement and breakthrough thinking

Tenacity - Show grit and determination

Collaboration - Build trust and foster teamwork

Customer Focus - Deliver excellence and value

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.
