Micron TechnologyJob Title
Engineer - QEM Product Quality Engineering (Wafer Level Reliability)
Role Summary
Accountable for wafer-level reliability (WLR) and Fab reliability performance at Micron Fab 10N/X in Singapore. The role partners with process, test, product, and quality teams to define sampling plans, monitor outgoing quality and reliability metrics, assess conversion risks, and develop WLR capability as a proxy for package-level reliability testing.
Experience Level
Mid-level engineer; no explicit years of experience stated.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on reliability performance, risk assessment, and cross-functional execution to meet intrinsic reliability targets.
- Own Fab reliability performance metrics and reporting for Fab 10N/X.
- Define and execute Wafer Level Reliability (WLR) sampling plans and outgoing quality & reliability monitoring (OQRM).
- Assess process conversion risks (Class 1/2), define data collection needs, and advise on conversion roadmaps.
- Develop and validate WLR capability as a proxy for package-level reliability tests.
- Investigate failure mechanisms and perform deep dives on product intrinsic scorecards (endurance, retention, program disturb, X-temp, etc.).
- Partner with PI/PEE, TD, QE, product, and test teams to implement process improvements that meet reliability targets.
- Serve as SME for reliability failure modes, detection methods, and excursion mitigation projects.
- Provide corrective and preventive actions in response to customer quality feedback and coordinate with CQE/FEMQA teams.
Requirements
Key skills and capabilities required or strongly preferred.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor reliability failure mechanisms and device characterization methods.
- Familiarity with probe testing and test methodologies used for device qualification and datasheet verification.
- Experience performing risk assessments on process changes and defining statistical sampling/monitoring plans.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to interpret reliability data and drive technical decisions.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with process, test, product, and quality teams and influence outcomes.
- Experience applying continuous improvement methods and contributing as a subject-matter expert in quality projects.
- Baseline digital fluency and ability to use AI-assisted tools responsibly to improve research, analysis, and operational tasks.
- Highly motivated, growth-oriented, and able to operate in a manufacturing environment with operational rigor.
- Nice to have: NAND reliability/EFA experience, CMOS device physics knowledge, and familiarity with NAND device operation and datasheets.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree preferred in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Microelectronics, Materials Science, Physics, Data Science/Analytics, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
