As a QEM PQE Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will support the semiconductor memory manufacturing efforts for developing, validating, characterizing, and qualifying new non-volatile memory products, enabling volume manufacturing with improved frontend/backend test yields/product grades and overall Cum Yield performance; and enhance overall reliability by supporting the team in doing yield and failure analysis to identify root cause fail signatures and other yield/product grade limiters. You will leverage an understanding of electrical operation and current fabrication technology of advanced NAND memory products. You will be expected to interact with engineers and technicians across multiple sites responsible for corrective actions (Design, Product Engineering, Research & Development, Test, Quality and Reliability Assurance).

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for new product startup and sustaining high volume product yield/product grade improvement
• Lead Yield/Product Grade enhancement, including monitoring, performance to plan, and drive improvement
• Perform data analysis through analysis/statistic tools, summarize, present and publish data/result to all associated groups.
• Design and run DOE to drive improvement activities.
• Drive taskforce meeting to mitigate yield loss and generate roadmap for continuous improvement process with cross functional team
• Communicated effectively with key stakeholders, able to propose strategy and make decision based on data and result.
• Collaborated with the wafer fab process/integration group to address process-related defects affecting product yield
• Collaborated with FAB/MH/PE/PYE/etc to resolve process/device/test related issues.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's/Master's Degree in Electrical/Electronic/Microelectronic/Material Science/Data Science/Physics/Mathematics/Statistics.
• 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
• Experience in yield analysis/EFA will be added advantage in consideration.
• Good understanding of CMOS device physics is an added advantage
• Knowledge of NAND devices operations is an added advantage
• Understanding of probe test flow & test methodology including array operation, customer feature and specification is an added advantage.
• Willing to work flexible hours that overlap with different time zones if necessary.
• Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron is preferred
• 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.
