SENIOR ENGINEER - PCVD EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT

As a Senior Equipment Engineer/Equipment Engineer in the EDE-SG, you will be expected to support R&D activities associated with rapid deployment of First-of-Kind equipment, the CIP hardware evaluations and managing on the timeline needed to deploy in current technode/next advance technode on time. Good team spirit and good collaborations working is needed with various stakeholders including (not limited to) facilities/fab support/Gas & Chemical/EHS/F4/F10/Central team etc with various equipment setup and improvement work necessitated thereof as well as to ensure extended engagement on the upcoming First-of-Kind equipment in upcoming technode. Expected to work independently with minimal direction and complete projects in a timely manner and achieve set objectives.

Responsibilities

• Install equipment and/or CIP hardware for evaluation by the process development team to enable early introduction (EFMEA), maturity (EMI), and adoption for current and next node of 3D NAND technology.
• Work with the Fab layout and facility team to ensure smooth and on time installation and operation of the equipment.
• Work with process development team to quantify benefits of equipment/CIP hardware.
• Develop and optimize existing equipment hardware to meet the productivity requirements of advanced 3D NAND parts.
• Participate with equipment development peers on technology choices for the upcoming nodes and able to translate future technology needs into clear equipment requirements.
• Identify disruptive equipment early, work with manufacturing and to identify viable evaluation path forward in manufacturing.
• Design and implement advanced equipment monitoring and control methodologies.
• Lead team or sites or suppliers on complex projects in focused meetings with end goal of maturity an equipment technology in record times for technical advantage, cost and productivity.
• Serve as a technical expert within Micron, provide advice and recommendations to senior management on improvements from equipment development. Lead and initiate innovation projects through patents/technical papers.
• Identify and resolve safety hazards; follow safety procedures including lockout, chemical safety, lifting techniques and ergonomically correct methods.

Requirements:

• PHD or Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering or >2 years of experience in the semiconductor industry in the area of equipment engineer roles.

• In-depth understanding of the equipment operation, working principles, troubleshooting and tool installation procedure is a must.

• Exposure to R&D equipment transfer and ability to develop/optimize equipment hardware design is preferred.

• Excellent ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously; efficiently utilize available resources or seek peers’ and/or management help to get over the roadblocks to drive to solutions.

• Encourage and enforce safe, compliant behavior through periodic communications and the performance management process.
