Job description

  • Yield & Process Optimization: Collaborate with semiconductor manufacturing engineering teams to analyze inline/param/probe data to identify top yield detractors and drive continuous improvement.
  • Data Pipeline & Automation: Extract, cleanse, and analyze datasets from SQL databases, sensor networks, and fabrication tool logs to support semiconductor manufacturing operations.
  • Advanced Analytics & Modeling: Apply data science techniques, statistical modeling, and machine learning to solve yield issues and support defect reduction strategies.
  • Experimentation Support: Assist process and integration engineers in running and analyzing Design of Experiments (DOE) to enhance process capabilities and margins.
  • Visualization & Communication: Develop automated reports and dashboards using visualization tools (e.g., Dash, Plotly, Angular) to communicate technical concepts and project outcomes effectively to engineering stakeholders., Micron does not charge candidates any recruitment fees or unlawfully collect any other payment from candidates as consideration for their employment with Micron.

AI alert: Candidates are encouraged to use AI tools to enhance their resume and/or application materials. However, all information provided must be accurate and reflect the candidate’s true skills and experiences. Misuse of AI to fabricate or misrepresent qualifications will result in immediate disqualification.

Fraud alert: Micron advises job seekers to be cautious of unsolicited job offers and to verify the authenticity of any communication claiming to be from Micron by checking the official Micron careers website in the About Micron Technology, Inc.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, AI, or a related Engineering field.
  • Minimum 8 years of hands-on experience in data science, analytics, or scripting applications.
  • Willingness to learn semiconductor manufacturing principles and collaborate closely with equipment and integration engineers to resolve production issues.

Required Technical Experience

  • Programming & Data Engineering: Strong Python programming skills and working experience with SQL for data extraction and manipulation.
  • Statistical Analysis: Familiarity with statistical tools, methodologies (such as SPC, DOE, or FDC/EDA), and data-driven problem solving.
  • Data Visualization: At least 2 year of working experience applying data visualization tools (e.g., Dash, Plotly, Angular) to present complex engineering data clearly.

Preferred Experience

  • Prior experience or internship in the semiconductor industry, electronics manufacturing, or related fields.
  • Basic understanding of semiconductor fabrication processes, equipment, and device physics (e.g., CMOS basic knowledge).
  • Familiarity with advanced analytics or computer-based analysis for manufacturing and yield applications.
  • Knowledge of memory architecture (DRAM/NAND).

Required Soft Skills

Effective communicator and collaborator, capable of bridging the gap between data science and traditional semiconductor engineering teams.

Analytical and problem-solving mentality with a demonstrated commitment to quality and continuous improvement in a fast-paced environment.

Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver high-quality results.
