JR52156 OCT Dry Etch Mfg. Alignment (MA) Engineer/Sr Engineer/Principal Engineer

As a Central Team Alignment Engineer, you will be responsible for driving improvements to manufacturing capability, delivering industry benchmark methods at the lowest cost, and owning the execution of global standards across process areas. You will implement this by focusing on Micron’s 4 pillars and ensure priorities are aligned to Micron business plan and/or Strategic Objective requirements across manufacturing sites. You must be willing and capable of effective collaboration with sites, Procurement, Global Quality and other OCT departments, and external suppliers to accomplish your objectives. You must also be willing and capable of international travel, as needed, to accomplish your objectives.

Development and execution of alignment programs

Develop and implement alignment programs with TPM core teams and task force teams across the network to drive BKM alignment and network standardization to improve efficiency and performance in each of the Pillars.

For improvements in scale, identifying and driving improvements in Tool Utilization to meet BIC standards including elimination of low utilization tools in Micron, generation of globally aligned cold/warm idle shutdown of tools when not in need to generate OPEX and CAPEX savings, and resolving Tool POR-MOR gaps on major volume, with aligned BKMs implemented across the network & PDM updated.

For Speed this will include execution of Early-Stage Transfer Alignment (ESTA) to drive BKM sharing between technologies, process recipe alignment and identification and alignment of BKMs to improve machine mismatch and defect performance.

For Quality this will include alignment of PM Procedures, for shared workstations, Post Maintenance Qualifications, Scrap reduction and GDM recurrence prevention.

For Cost this will include performing Power Walks to understand practices across the network and development of methodology and system improvements to drive labor efficiency and driving cost improvements through activities such as PM parts frequency alignment to reduce OPEX spending.

For People this will include TLP development programs and Engage/Voice improvements.

For each program develop and tie matrices to measure the effectiveness of the programs.

Put in place and implement organizational change for changes to existing procedures & new PM procedures.

Standardization of practices & BKMs in Process Areas

Lead global area and TPM core alignment teams to address chronic issues, drive improvements & eliminate wastes.

Lead closure of Area level alignment projects such as those identified by TPM Forums, GDM Repeats, copy smart exemptions from transfer and MAE prioritization to close gaps to defined standardization BKMs.

Work closely with CPEE counterparts to define technical path to closure (aligned direction), and channel improvements and lessons learned into global area forums to decide on standards for deployment, implementation, and audit.

Drive implementation plans (to schedule) for your process area/point of operation and define metrics to measure success and improvements in performance from the implementation.

Create a library of area level BKMs for Equipment & Process Engineers to search for standards involving the setup of Equipment & associated processes.

Report progress to closure and performance improvement to site leadership, OCT, TD

TPM Core Team Alignment

Work with OCT TPM coordinator at your site to train, coach, mentor and prioritize work for your area TPM core teams.
