Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a global leader in innovative memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence. As part of Micron’s historic investment in Boise, Idaho, we are building the future of semiconductor manufacturing with a new leading-edge DRAM fab and expanded manufacturing capabilities.

As a Process Quality Engineer, you will drive the strategic direction of front-end wafer quality across the local site and Micron's global organization. You will support the development and execution of strategies that enable future technology requirements while ensuring robust contamination control across the fab environment. You will actively monitor, assess, and reduce airborne and surface contamination risks to protect wafer quality, yield, and reliability. Working closely with process, facilities, equipment, and integration teams, you will investigate contamination-related issues, implement corrective actions, and prevent recurrence. You will also evaluate contamination risks associated with new materials, processes, and technologies, ensuring effective controls are in place to support successful technology development and manufacturing. Additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Responsibilities may include (but not limited to) Support the development and execution of contamination control programs for Fab4 manufacturing operations. Apply data-driven and AI-enabled methods to develop, automate, and track risk-based solutions. Partner with Process Shift, Process Equipment Engineering, Facilities, and Manufacturing teams to identify and resolve contamination-driven yield and quality issues. Analyze contamination monitoring, metrology, and process data to detect trends, drive root-cause investigations, and implement corrective actions. Conduct studies and experiments to evaluate the impact of particles, AMC, metals, and chemical contaminants on wafer yield, reliability, and product quality. Apply statistical methods and process control techniques to monitor contamination performance and drive continuous improvement. Collaborate with global Micron sites to benchmark contamination control best practices and deploy Best Known Methods (BKMs). Work with suppliers and internal stakeholders to evaluate and implement new contamination monitoring technologies, and contamination mitigation solutions. Lead and participate in cross-functional initiatives focused on contamination reduction, defect prevention, product quality, and manufacturing excellence. Present technical findings, risk assessments, and recommendations to engineering teams, stakeholders, and leadership to drive informed decision-making.
