Industrial Engineer

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.

As a Planning Engineer in Fab 6 at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be part of the Industrial Engineering team responsible for analyzing and optimizing the performance of the fabrication facility. You will act a coordinator between the area management and the business needs to rationalize requirements and propose solutions with respect to capacity and capital. You will be responsible for maintaining an accurate capacity model for Fabrication areas, and to ensure execution of committed long-term plans and driving gap closure to tactical commitments.

Responsibilities:

Capacity Modeling

• Ensure tool capacity is well positioned to meet wafer output requirements at the manufacturing area level through regular area audits and reviews
• Ensure accurate capacity model through periodic audits on key workstation parameters and validation of workstation performance
• Design and/or enhance models as needed in order to provide the right accuracy or functionality
• Understand data structure and be able to manipulate, and retrieve data
• Maintain and troubleshoot planning databases
• Analyze raw data through statistical data analysis tools
• Make data driven decisions with area through decision analysis tools
• Work with Central teams and partner Fabs to understand and close the gaps in workstation performance to meet external benchmark levels
• Participate and contribute in the area alignment meetings with central teams, to understand upcoming technology changes and workstation performance against Model of Record (MOR)

Scenario Process

• Drive areas to close gaps in performance of workstations to model
• Understand the impact to the Fab by performing capacity analysis
• Identify and highlight the driver of changes in each scenarios
• Understand the opportunities to minimize capital expenditure for a given scenario, while identifying the timing of the required capital through scenario analysis
• Update the excess list and work with layout coordinator to understand the need date for deinstalls
• Communicate the Scenario changes with areas and involve the area collaborators in the strategic way we make decisions
• Understand the impact of Model/Reality gap on new technology by performing capacity analysis and communicate to all partners
• Provide capacity impact of process or tool changes within the process area

Capital Process

• Ensure the maintenance of accurate tool delivery dates
• Keep capacity model accurate through based on most current delivery, Qual and Req. In-Service dates for approved capital, conversions, deinstalls, relocations
• Provide sufficient justification for a capital request to all the customers and site leadership team during the monthly capital process
• Perform NPV calculation on any proposed capital items and provide impact to capacity

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Masters Degree in Industrial Engineering. Other engineering or related subject areas or equivalent experience may be considered. 
• Demonstrable knowledge of Theory of Constraints and Queuing Theory as applied to manufacturing operations
• Understanding of capacity modeling methods and techniques as applied to manufacturing operations
• Knowledge of statistical methods to perform data analysis (SQL/Python, Tableau, Advanced Excel)
• Ability to travel as needed

Preferred Qualifications:

• Self-motivated with strong problem solving and analytical skills. 
• Experience with leading effective project teams and handling conflict
• Experience with analytics and statistical analysis of transactional data sets
• 0-2 years of experience
