Process Engineer

As a Process Engineer, you will develop, optimize, and sustain the semiconductor processes that drive yield, quality, cost, and productivity by solving complex technical challenges and partnering across equipment, integration, manufacturing, and supplier teams. As part of Micron’s AI-enabled ecosystem, Fab Process Engineers leverage AI-assisted process monitoring, SPC/FDC insights, and data analytics to optimize process stability, yield, quality, cost, and productivity across wafer fabrication.  

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Develop, optimize, and sustain fabrication process steps for yield, quality, cost and productivity 

• Drive step-level process changes, validate new technology node readiness, evaluations and lead continuous improvement initiatives 

• Investigate yield and defectivity issues by tracking process performance with methods like FMEA, 8D, SPC, FDC, APC 

• Apply data analytics to prevent recurring issues and minimize production downtime 

• Manage qualifications and process control plans 

• Hit production targets during ramp and transitions, and protect cycle time, throughput and product quality 

• Partner and collaborate across functions (Process, Manufacturing, Facilities, Quality, Maintenance teams) to resolve issues 

• Communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders 

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS 
Shown through education, internships, research, military, manufacturing, or professional experience. 

• Bachelor’s degree or advanced certification in a related technical field OR equivalent technical military experience OR equivalent combination of education and relevant experience 

• Experience with SPC, FDC, FMEA, 8D 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
