About the role

Micron is hiring a PDE PCS & MRDA Engineer to develop, qualify, deploy and sustain advanced defect inspection and metrology solutions that support New Product Introduction (NPI), HBM technology ramps and High Volume Manufacturing (HVM). The role drives inspection capability readiness, equipment performance improvement and defectivity reduction through close collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Key responsibilities

• Inspect and metrology equipment ownership: manage advanced inspection and metrology platforms across package development and manufacturing, develop technology roadmaps, and drive equipment lifecycle management, capacity planning and technology insertion.
• Equipment qualification and deployment: lead tool installation, TIQ, release and production readiness, set acceptance criteria and qualification methodologies, and drive tool-to-tool matching and network standardization.
• Defectivity engineering and yield improvement: develop inspection solutions to detect, monitor and reduce critical defects, and set defect metrics, observation methods and continuous improvement plans.
• Data analytics and digital transformation: manage MRDA data systems and engineering applications for advanced and conventional packaging, integrate inspection, metrology, manufacturing and quality data, and build dashboards, analytics platforms and automated workflows. Apply AI and advanced analytics to improve defect detection, prediction and process control.
• Technology development and NPI readiness: support technology development in HBM, advanced and conventional packaging, and ensure tool readiness for NPI, pilot builds and manufacturing ramps.
• Supplier and industry engagement: work with equipment suppliers to resolve technical issues, evaluate next-generation inspection technologies, and lead technical reviews and improvement initiatives.
• Cross-functional leadership: partner with Process, Equipment, Manufacturing, Quality, Automation and Global Engineering teams, lead project execution and risk management, and align sites and organizations.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree or higher, or equivalent experience, in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Materials, Chemical Engineering or a related field.
• Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron is preferred.
• Experience driving equipment qualifications, technology transfers and manufacturing ramp readiness is a plus.
• Able to influence technical strategy across multiple organizations and sites is an added advantage.
• Strong communication, problem-solving and executive presentation skills, and strong analytical, logical and critical thinking skills.
• Ability to apply baseline digital fluency and role-appropriate AI literacy to use AI-enabled tools responsibly.
