IE Layout Engineer

Job Summary:

As a Layout Engineer, you will apply strong industrial engineering concepts and logical problem‑solving to optimize production equipment layouts that maximize factory output. You will serve as the connection point between Manufacturing, Engineering, and Facilities by maintaining accurate layout documentation, supporting tool‑installation planning, and ensuring that all proposed layouts are feasible within the factory’s technical and schedule constraints.

Main Responsibilities:

• Optimize production equipment layouts by applying industrial engineering principles to improve material flow, footprint efficiency, and overall factory output.

• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date layout documentation, ensuring that all planned tool installations, relocations, upgrades, and removals are reflected in the ramp‑plan layout.

• Perform onsite assessments together with Facilities and tool owners to validate layout feasibility, verify physical and infrastructure constraints, and ensure that proposed layouts accurately reflect operational conditions.

• Collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Facilities to communicate layout changes, resolve constraints, and ensure alignment throughout the planning and execution process.

• Develop foundational understanding of factory design, cleanroom protocols, and process areas to support effective layout planning and operational readiness.

• Plan and manage tools movement.

Other Responsibilities:

• Support scenario studies to meet strategic objectives.

• Deploy appropriate AI-driven solutions in achieving effective and efficient outcomes for self and teams 

• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.

• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.

Job Requirements/Qualification/ Selection Criteria :

• Bachelors degree in Industrial/Mechanical/Electrical/Computer engineering or related discipline

• Proficiency in M365 Apps such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint etc

• Strong critical‑thinking skills, with the ability to analyze constraints, evaluate trade‑offs, and support data‑driven decision‑making in layout planning.

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset to drive actions and alignment with cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Highly motivated, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, dynamic, and rapidly changing environment.

• Ability to multi-task and organize work systematically in meeting deadlines without compromising on quality.

• Physically able to work inside a cleanroom environment, including wearing full cleanroom attire (smock, hood, gloves, boots) and performing on‑site checks such as layout validations and equipment‑area walkthroughs.

• Demonstrated at least 2 years of leadership skills, such as in university or other co-curricular activities.

• Prior programming work (inclusive of vibe coding using free Gen AI tools)

• Hands-on experience in AI (Chatbot, Agentic AI, Automation, etc) tools in academic or work environments

• Internship or experience in the semiconductor industry is a plus

• Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron is preferred.

• Ability to apply baseline digital fluency and role‑appropriate AI literacy to use AI‑enabled tools responsibly and effectively for research, analysis, content creation, problem‑solving, operational tasks, and achieving business outcomes.

• Embody Micron’s core values:

  People – Respect, develop, and empower others

  Innovation – Drive continuous improvement and breakthrough thinking

  Tenacity – Show grit and determination

  Collaboration – Build trust and foster teamwork

  Customer Focus – Deliver excellence and value

  Speed - Act with purpose and set the pace

Performs design and development engineering assignments related to activities for equipment and systems layouts in plant, office, and production facilities. Work may encompass studies to determine the efficient sequence of operations and workflow. Recommends processes for maximum utilization of production facilities and personnel. Prepares cost estimates for proposed projects and evaluates cost factors. May participate in testing and implementation of new production systems and interface with research and development and process engineering to plan for future product introduction.
