PDE CEM Engineer

Job Title

PDE CEM Engineer

Role Summary

Work in the back-end packaging and assembly development team at Micron's Sanand fabrication facility. Own development and optimization of packaging assembly processes for new product introduction, yield, quality, and reliability.

Drive process characterization, capability improvement, and introduction of new materials, equipment and data-driven controls including AI/ML to enable predictive process control in high-volume manufacturing.

Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 8+ years of semiconductor process development or backend assembly experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include leading process development, controlling capability and driving continuous improvement for packaging/assembly processes.

• Own process of record (POR), process windows, and capability (Cp/Cpk).
• Drive NPI qualification and ensure strong first-pass success for new products.
• Define process specifications: parameters, tool setup, conditions and tolerances.
• Apply DOE, SPC and Six Sigma methods to characterize and optimize processes and center key variables for robustness.
• Lead RCA, FMEA, OCAP and structured problem resolution; implement containment and corrective/preventive actions.
• Use MES, equipment and yield data to diagnose issues, improve yield, reliability and process margins.
• Integrate AI/ML and analytics to predict yield trends, detect excursions, and enable predictive process control.
• Evaluate and introduce new materials, equipment and packaging technologies to reduce cost and improve productivity.
• Develop control plans, quality metrics and capability monitoring systems; coach and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and proven outcomes in process development, statistical methods and data-driven problem solving. Distinguish required versus preferred skills below.

• Must-have: Deep experience with assembly processes and packaging integration in a semiconductor backend environment.
• Must-have: Proven use of DOE, SPC, FMEA, RCA and Six Sigma for process characterization and yield improvement.
• Must-have: Proficiency in statistical analysis tools (e.g., JMP or equivalent) and in interpreting MES/equipment/yield data.
• Must-have: Strong problem-solving track record improving yield, process margins and reliability at production scale.
• Preferred: Working knowledge of data analytics and machine learning fundamentals; experience applying AI insights to process engineering.
• Preferred: Exposure to Python, SQL or analytics platforms for data extraction and analysis.
• Preferred: Familiarity with Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing concepts and deployment of AI-enabled dashboards/tools in production.

Education Requirements

Master's or PhD in Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Electrical Engineering.
