• Ensure stable SECS/GEM communication and equipment-to-host connectivity.

• Maintain MES/MAM/RMS interfaces with strong data integrity and version control.

2) SPC Strategy & Governance

• Lead SPC lifecycle: variable selection, chart setup, limits, automated responses, and chart health reviews.

• Ensure alignment with Micron Global SPC Standards and quality system requirements.

3) FDC & OCAP Management

• Develop and maintain FDC models, classifiers, traces, and limits.

• Validate UVA and reduce false alarms for stable production performance.

• Govern OCAP (Out of Control Action Plan) logic and changes via ECN (Engineering Change Notice).

4) MES / MAM / RMS Engineering

• Support MES and MAM logic, events, data collection, and equipment states.

• Govern RMS recipe/version consistency supporting SPC and FDC execution.

• Troubleshoot system logic and collaborate with Automation Technology (ATAuto) on improvements.

5) Monitoring & Continuous Improvement

• Track key metrics: OOC (Out of Control) rate, false alarms, FDC coverage, reaction compliance/TAT (Turnaround Time), system reliability.

• Perform structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

• Automate tasks using SQL, Python scripts.

6) Collaboration & Audit Readiness

• Partner with PE, EE, PDE, MCT, AT Auto, and Global Quality.

Job Requirements, Qualifications/Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.

• Knowledge of SPC concepts, capability indices, OOC vs. OOS (Out of Spec).

• Experience owning E3 models and SPACE SPC frameworks.

• Experience with FDC/OCAP in Assembly & Test or Frontend facilities.

• Exposure to predictive analytics, or smart manufacturing platforms.

• Familiarity with SPC governance and audit processes. Experience with at least one Micron system: Applied E3 FDC/R2R, SPACE SPC, SECS/GEM, MES/MESCentral, RMS.

• Skills in scripting (SQL, Python) and process/equipment data interpretation.

• Strong analytical, logical, and critical thinking skills

• Effective communicator, able to collaborate across all levels

• Growth mindset with a passion for continuous learning

• Internship or experience in the semiconductor industry is a plus

• Demonstrated leadership and a track record of impact are highly desirable
