About The Position

The Advanced Packaging Technology Development (APTD) department at Micron Technology is at the forefront of innovation, driving the advancement of memory and storage Interconnects and Packaging solutions that transform how the world uses information. Micron is dedicated to developing innovative processes and technologies that enable the creation of next-generation semiconductor products which drive the AI revolution. By collaborating closely with our global R&D, equipment and materials suppliers, and manufacturing teams, we ensure the efficient development, transfer and implementation of new technology nodes, maintaining Micron's leadership in the industry.
As a Realtime Defect Analysis (RDA) Technology Development Engineer in APTD, you will learn how to use pioneering defect detection equipment and processes to solve issues and drive improvement. The goal of this position is to accelerate cycles of learning and technology transfer in Technology Development (TD). We're seeking an engineer who is passionate about creative problem solving and finding innovative solutions.
This position will provide the opportunity for you to collaborate with engineers in process integration, process development, data science, and yield analysis within and outside of TD. Your ideas will impact the team globally! We need someone who will investigate process anomalies through root-cause analysis, data manipulation, and correlations. You will be expected to support experimentation, data analysis, baseline health metrics, and systematic and random defect improvement.
