About The Position

Micron Technology is hiring a Product Quality Assurance (PQA) Engineer to help ensure new memory and storage products meet quality standards before volume manufacturing. The role drives continuous improvement in product quality and supports product qualification through failure analysis, reliability risk assessment, and corrective action. The position offers an opportunity to grow technical breadth and depth while collaborating with engineers across multicultural teams and worldwide geographies. The PQA Engineer will drive timely responses and resolution of product qualification failures, perform electrical and physical failure analysis, use statistical analysis and data mining to support product disposition, investigate electrical parameter shifts, interpret reliability data, and lead improvement programs that advance internal quality metrics.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or advanced certification in a related technical field, equivalent technical military experience, or an equivalent mix of education and relevant experience; Electrical Engineering is preferred.
Experience with product electrical testing and fault isolation.
Experience with EFA and/or PFA methods.
Skill in statistical data analysis and data mining.
Working knowledge of structured problem-solving methods, including 8D and FMEA.
Relevant background may be demonstrated through education, internships, research, military service, manufacturing, or professional experience.

Nice To Haves

Understanding of intrinsic reliability failure models, including TDDB, EM, CHC, and NBTI.
Understanding of extrinsic reliability failure modes, including infant mortality (ICF) and extended (HTOL) testing.
Experience with product qualification and quality systems for new product introduction in semiconductor manufacturing.
Experience leading quality improvement programs tied to internal quality metrics.
Experience and/or interest in developing Agentic AI workflows into current or future processes.

Responsibilities

Ensure new products meet quality standards and have accurate risk assessments and quality systems in place before volume manufacturing.
Drive timely response, resolution, and continuous improvement of product qualification failures using 8D and FMEA.
Perform electrical failure analysis (EFA) and physical failure analysis (PFA) to identify root causes and drive corrective actions.
Use statistical data analysis and data mining to develop robust product disposition techniques.
Define electrical signatures at scale and investigate electrical parameter shifts.
Interpret reliability data and deliver accurate reliability risk assessments.
Lead key deliverables and improvement programs that advance internal quality metrics.
