About the role
AI summarisedThe Central Yield Engineer drives end-to-end yield improvement across wafer fabrication, probe, assembly, and test by analyzing data, defining yield strategies, and leading cross-functional initiatives. They serve as a technical integrator between front-end and assembly/test domains, standardizing methodologies and leading global taskforces to resolve yield excursions. The role requires strong statistical and data-driven problem-solving skills, excellent communication, and the ability to work in a global matrixed environment with travel to Micron sites.

Key Responsibilities
- Drive E2E yield improvement initiatives across FE wafer fabrication, probe, assembly, and final test through deep data analysis and technical insight, with primary ownership from a Central YE perspective
- Lead global yield analytics and learning loops, connecting FE process data, electrical/parametric test results, and AT test outcomes to rapidly identify root causes and improvement opportunities
- Serve as a technical integrator across FE–AT boundaries, working with cross-functional teams to close gaps in yield, quality, and test coverage
- Champion standardization of yield analysis methodologies, dashboards, and business processes across the Micron network, leveraging best-known methods (BKM) and benchmarking internal and external intelligence
- Lead or actively participate in cross-site taskforces to resolve critical yield and quality excursions, ensuring timely containment, root cause identification, and sustainable corrective actions
- Deliver clear and compelling technical presentations to diverse audiences, including project updates, yield deep-dives, and new initiative proposals
- Align regularly with management on goals, priorities, and execution status, proactively escalating risks and driving resolution
- Travel to Micron global manufacturing and assembly/test sites as needed to support yield learning and execution
Requirements
- Solid knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing and yield engineering, including FE wafer fabrication processes, electrical/parametric test, probe yield, and AT test fundamentals
- Strong experience in E2E data analysis, correlating FE process data with probe and final test results to drive yield and quality improvements
- Hands-on capability in statistical analysis, data mining, root cause analysis, and problem solving, with strong attention to detail
- Experience with DRAM device operation, test flows, and yield learning methodologies is highly desirable
- Exposure to FE integration, advanced packaging, AT processes, or test development is a plus
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex technical issues to cross-functional and global audiences
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a matrixed, global environment, with strong collaboration and influence skills
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal supervision
- Intermediate to advanced PC skills, including Microsoft Office; experience with data analysis tools or scripting languages is a plus
- Travel Required: Yes
