What are the responsibilities and job description for the New College Grad - Ram Quality Engineer position at Micron Technology?
Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
The Realtime Defect Analysis (RDA) and Metrology organization plays a critical role in enabling advanced semiconductor manufacturing through defect detection, process monitoring, quality control, and continuous improvement. The team partners closely with global manufacturing sites, process integration, process development, yield engineering, data science, and other stakeholders to drive defect reduction, prevent excursions, and ensure alignment with global quality standards.
As an ID1 RDA Quality Engineer, you will develop and implement quality systems, monitoring strategies, and best-known methods (BKMs) that support defect detection and metrology operations. This role offers the opportunity to learn next-generation defect inspection technologies, drive quality improvements through data analysis, support excursion mitigation activities, and collaborate with global partners to transfer technology into high-volume manufacturing (HVM). Your contributions will directly influence manufacturing quality, operational efficiency, and yield performance across Micron's global network.
