Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.
Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.
Your Role
Every memory chip starts as a silicon wafer that passes through hundreds of precise manufacturing steps, and a tiny defect at any step can reduce the number of good chips we ship. As an Engineer in Real Time Defect Analysis, you will help our wafer fabrication teams spot, understand and fix these defects quickly, so problems are contained early instead of carrying into later steps. Your work protects product quality and yield, strengthens process capability and helps lower production cost, directly supporting the memory and storage products our customers rely on.
What You’ll Learn
How wafers are made, and how process steps, tools and recipes affect yield and quality.
Hands-on root cause analysis, from defect signal to confirmed cause and lasting fix.
How to work with process, equipment and shift engineering teams, and make data-backed recommendations on new equipment and materials.
How AI-enabled tools can speed up analysis and improvement work when used with sound judgment.
A strong foundation for future technical or leadership roles, with mentoring from experienced engineers.
What You’ll Do
Investigate abnormal defect and process signals in wafer fabrication, troubleshoot problems, perform root cause analysis and drive improvements.
Maximize yield by improving tools, process conditions and wafer fabrication recipes, and by setting up and refining process management projects.
Work with other process areas and shift engineering to understand and control process deviations, including longer-term defect investigations.
Evaluate, plan and promote new equipment and materials, researching the process adjustments needed to manufacture new products or part types efficiently.
Check that products meet design and performance specifications, and upgrade process capability while reducing production cost.
Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.
Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.
