About our Team:

Micron's Front-End Central Quality Assurance (FECTQA) team plays a critical role in ensuring product quality and reliability within our fabrication facilities. We focus on proactive risk management, containment strategies, and process excellence to support manufacturing operations and deliver world-class semiconductor products. The team partners closely with manufacturing, engineering, and quality organizations globally to drive continuous improvement, share best-known methods, and ensure consistent quality standards across the network.

As a Senior Engineer, FE Central QA, you will be instrumental in safeguarding product integrity and driving quality improvements across ID1/Fab4 operations. This role is responsible for product containment, risk assessment, disposition of deviated products, quality system compliance, and continuous improvement in a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment. You will also support new product qualifications and leverage AI-enabled tools and advanced analytics to improve quality assurance effectiveness, operational efficiency, and decision-making.

Responsibilities:

• Complete product containment, risk assessment, and disposition processes to maintain product quality, reliability, and customer protection.

• Develop, evaluate, and revise quality assurance methods and protocols. Apply these methods to inspect and test in-process materials, production equipment, and finished products. Ensure they meet company standards and applicable laws.

• Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and drive continuous quality improvement initiatives.

• Monitor, analyze, and report quality performance metrics, inspection data, defect trends, and process indicators to support operational and business objectives.

• Ensure compliance with established manufacturing inspection, sampling, statistical process control (SPC), and quality management system requirements, including support for documentation, records management, and audits.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Quality Assurance, or a related technical field.

• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, fabrication operations, quality engineering, or a related manufacturing environment.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and risk assessment skills with experience supporting product disposition and quality issue resolution.

• Experience working with quality systems, inspection methodologies, sampling plans, statistical process control (SPC), or compliance requirements.

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across multiple organizations and communicate technical findings to diverse collaborators.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree or equivalent experience, or professional certification in Quality Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience with new product qualification, failure analysis, statistical process control (SPC), defect reduction, and semiconductor reliability methodologies.

• Knowledge of quality management systems and industry standards such as ISO, IATF, GMP, or comparable quality frameworks.

• Experience partnering with quality engineers across multiple fabs to share best-known methods and drive global quality alignment.

• Demonstrated effective use of AI-enabled productivity and engineering tools, including AI-assisted analysis, document generation, knowledge retrieval, and data-driven decision support.
