Manufacturing Alignment Engineer; Thin FIlms​/Diffusion

At Micron Technology, we are redefining how the world uses information to enrich life through the development of innovative memory and storage solutions. As a Manufacturing Alignment Engineer focused on CVD and CMP technologies, you will play a critical role in driving global manufacturing alignment, operational excellence, and continuous improvement across Micron's worldwide fabrication network.

In this role, you will partner with manufacturing, process, equipment, and technology teams to develop and deploy standardized Best Known Methods (BKMs), improve manufacturing performance, and accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions. Your contributions will directly impact quality, cost competitiveness, cycle time, equipment utilization, and technology scalability across multiple sites.

We are seeking individuals who demonstrate technical curiosity, a growth mindset, and a passion for continuous improvement. While you may not possess every qualification listed below, we value team members who are eager to learn, expand their technical capabilities, and contribute to a collaborative global engineering organization.

• Lead the development and execution of global manufacturing alignment programs that standardize Best Known Methods (BKMs), improve operational consistency, and drive performance improvements across Micron's fabrication network.
• Drive initiatives focused on equipment utilization optimization, idle tool management, POR-to-MOR gap closure, manufacturing efficiency, and productivity improvements.
• Coordinate and influence global efforts involving ESTA programs, recipe alignment, process matching, defect reduction, and technology performance optimization.
• Partner with multi-functional manufacturing and engineering teams to standardize preventive maintenance practices, qualification methodologies, scrap reduction initiatives, and recurrence prevention strategies.
• Facilitate alignment across sites by developing common standards, tracking execution progress, and communicating key performance indicators and business outcomes to senior leadership.
• Find opportunities to simplify processes through automation, advanced analytics, and AI-enabled solutions that improve manufacturing effectiveness and engineering productivity.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen manufacturing readiness, technology transfer success, and long-term operational sustainability.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
• 5+ years of semiconductor manufacturing experience as a Process Owner, Equipment Owner, Process Engineer, Equipment Engineer, or related engineering role.
• Experience supporting CVD, CMP, Thin Films, Diffusion, or related semiconductor process technologies.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing systems, process control methodologies, equipment operations, and continuous improvement practices.
• Experience leading or coordinating multi-functional teams, site-level initiatives, or global engineering programs.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to influence partners across multiple organizations.
• Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally as business needs require.

• Deep technical expertise in Thin Films, CVD, CMP, or Diffusion process and equipment engineering.
• Demonstrated success driving manufacturing improvements in semiconductor wafer fabrication environments.
• Experience deploying and sustaining Best Known Methods (BKMs) across multiple manufacturing sites.
• Proven track record of leading global alignment initiatives that improve quality, equipment performance, cycle time, yield, or cost.
• Experience using artificial intelligence, automation, advanced analytics, or digital manufacturing solutions to improve operational effectiveness.
• Knowledge of Agentic AI applications, workflow automation frameworks, and AI-driven decision-support tools within engineering or manufacturing environments.
