Engineer, NAND NTI RDA Shift Operations

About the role

Micron is hiring an Engineer for its NAND NTI RDA shift operations. The role covers monitoring daily process operations, performing lot disposition and supporting inspection workstations within the RDA line, coordinating inspection requests and communicating lot status and operational risks during shift handovers.

Key responsibilities

• Monitor daily process operations and support wafer movement through the NTI RDA line to ensure timely execution of development activities and experiments.
• Perform lot disposition by reviewing inspection results, process conditions, experimental requirements and operational guidelines, escalating abnormal findings to application engineers and process owners.
• Support setup, execution and maintenance of basic inspection recipes on optical inspection workstations in line with standard operating procedures.
• Coordinate and prioritize inspection requests from Process Integration, Process Development, Product Engineering and Manufacturing to meet cycle time and learning objectives.
• Track and communicate lot status, inspection progress, tool utilization and operational risks to stakeholders during shift handovers and routine reviews.
• Assist engineers with data collection, wafer disposition, experiment execution, recipe qualifications and characterization, and support technology transfer and ramp support.
• Help qualify, document and continuously improve inspection workflows and best practices, and drive adherence to quality, safety and operational excellence standards.
• Participate in troubleshooting recipe, lot flow and operational issues with tool owners and cross-functional partners.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or a related technical field.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and commitment to quality, safety and operational discipline.
• Good communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional, shift-based environments.
• Willingness to learn inspection methodologies, process fundamentals and semiconductor manufacturing workflows.
• Preferred: exposure to R&D, technology development, manufacturing transfers or high-volume manufacturing; experience supporting shift operations, familiarity with optical inspection recipe setup, and ability to interpret inspection results and apply disposition criteria.

Required skills

• Desirable: basic proficiency in data analysis tools such as Excel, Python, Tableau, Power BI, JMP or similar.
• Desirable: knowledge of semiconductor process flow, wafer disposition, defect inspection concepts and process monitoring.
• Desirable: experience with optical inspection tools, metrology systems or manufacturing operations.
• Preferred: exposure to AI and generative AI used to automate routine tasks and improve productivity.
