Role Summary

Operate as a shift process engineer focused on photolithography-related manufacturing processes within Micron's Boise fab. The role monitors, optimizes, and improves process performance to meet yield, quality, and output targets while supporting shift operations and area engineering.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Requires more than 2 years' experience as a semiconductor shift process engineer and proven hands-on manufacturing problem-solving.

Responsibilities

Primary duties performed on a shift schedule to maintain and improve manufacturing performance.

• Monitor and refine process control to improve yield, quality, equipment performance, and wafer output against area benchmarks.
• Analyze process performance using SPC, FDC, DOE and other engineering methods; detect trends, manage excursions, and lead problem resolution.
• Lead and escalate issue resolution for process, tool, defect, yield, and output problems to restore and stabilize production.
• Create and maintain operational procedures, checklists, documentation, and training materials to ensure standardized execution and compliance.
• Use data analytics and visualization tools, including AI-enabled analytics, to identify improvement opportunities and support data-driven decisions.

Requirements

Key must-have skills and working conditions, followed by preferred qualifications.

• Must-have: More than 2 years' experience as a semiconductor shift process engineer in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design of Experiments (DOE), and formal problem-solving techniques for complex manufacturing data.
• Must-have: Proficiency with one or more programming, scripting, analytics, or visualization tools (examples: Python, Java, MATLAB, Tableau, Microsoft Office).
• Must-have: Able to work in a cleanroom on 12-hour rotating shifts (3–4 workdays per week; rotation between day and night every four months).
• Must-have: Experience analyzing manufacturing or engineering data and making process decisions based on technical findings.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with fab process areas, processing equipment, supporting systems, and data collection/warehousing practices.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with data cleansing, querying, and applying analytics to manufacturing or operational improvements.
• Nice-to-have: Experience using AI-assisted tools or interest in developing agentic AI workflows to improve analysis, reporting, or operations.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related engineering field - OR equivalent practical experience.
