Shift Manufacturing Engineer - F4 ID1 CMP Process

Micron • Boise, ID

9h

About The Position

The Shift Manufacturing Engineer drives daily fab performance in the assigned CMP area, serving as the primary manufacturing operations owner during the assigned shift. The role works closely with Manufacturing Technicians, Shift Lead Engineers, Process Engineers, Operations teams, and other organizations to achieve wafer movement targets, optimize cycle time, address quality concerns, and maintain efficient workflow through the manufacturing line.

Working on a 12-hour compressed workweek schedule, the engineer provides real-time operational leadership by identifying manufacturing constraints, supervising material flow, supporting production decisions, and driving actions to meet weekly wafer movement and wafer-on-hand objectives. The role balances factory priorities, production risk, cycle time, quality, and move performance, coordinating execution across teams without direct authority to resolve constraints and achieve operational objectives.

Success is measured by achievement of wafer movement, wafer-on-hand, cycle time, and operational performance targets; responsiveness and effectiveness of quality investigations; reduction of WIP gaps and manufacturing bottlenecks; and safety and quality performance. Micron describes an inclusive, diverse, collaborative environment and encourages team members to develop their technical breadth and depth.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Management, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Proven analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Nice To Haves

• Semiconductor manufacturing experience.
• Experience with production planning, factory flow management, or industrial engineering concepts.
• Knowledge of cycle time management, bottleneck analysis, and manufacturing optimization.
• Experience using manufacturing systems, reporting tools, and data analysis platforms.

• Experience leading projects and influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Experience with programming, database management, and data visualization tools such as Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms.

Responsibilities

• Supervise wafer movement performance by DID, process step, and operational targets.
• Identify manufacturing gaps, WIP imbalances, bottlenecks, and workflow disruptions.
• Develop and implement plans to close gaps and achieve weekly move and wafer-on-hand commitments.
• Support operational decision-making to optimize capacity utilization and factory performance.
• Partner with Engineering teams to prioritize and communicate tool-related needs.
• Support automation, reporting, and process improvements that improve operational visibility and decision-making.
• Leverage AI-powered tools and technologies to improve operational decision-making, productivity, and visibility into manufacturing performance.
• Coordinate and drive execution across multiple organizations to resolve manufacturing constraints.
• Respond to quality concerns and support quality investigations.
• Maintain a safe, high-quality, and efficient flow of wafers through the CMP manufacturing area.

Benefits

• Choice of medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Income-protection benefit programs for illness or injury.
• Paid family leave.
• Paid time off.
