Micron•Boise, ID

11d

About The Position

As a Global Front End (FE) Central Planning Engineer at Micron Technology, you will develop manufacturing and capacity-planning strategies that support technology scaling, capital efficiency, and high-volume manufacturing. The role combines semiconductor expertise, quantitative modeling, scenario analysis, and cross-functional leadership to inform technology, equipment, capacity, and capital decisions across Micron's FE network. You will partner with Technology Development (TD), Manufacturing, Engineering, and Planning teams to turn complex business and technical challenges into actionable plans and measurable results. Potential focus areas include technology transitions and new-node manufacturing introductions; planning machinery and operational volume; fab space utilization and utility efficiency; capital investment and wafer-cost evaluation; and tool utilization, reuse, conversion, and throughput optimization.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Science, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, or another field involving quantitative analysis.
At least 2 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, process engineering, equipment engineering, technology development, or managing production resources.
Experience building quantitative models and conducting data analyses using Excel, Python, SQL, or similar tools.
Experience contributing to multifunctional projects from planning through execution.
Strong analytical, communication, stakeholder-management, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work independently, learn technical concepts quickly, and adapt to shifting priorities.
