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.
Micron is continuously evolving how complex semiconductor manufacturing expansion programs are planned and executed. As our programs become larger and increasingly interconnected, successful fab startup requires strong integration across construction, facilities, procurement, logistics, tool installation, qualification, manufacturing readiness, and production ramp.
We are seeking a Senior Principal Program Manager, Program & Tool Installation Integration to lead end-to-end integration for the Maple/F15 startup program in Hiroshima, Japan.
This role has a dual mandate :
Deliver Maple/F15: Lead program and tool-installation integration across the full startup lifecycle, establishing clear dependencies, priorities, constraints, risks, and mitigation actions across functional organizations.
Develop Future Capability: Leverage the Maple/F15 execution environment to identify, develop, validate, and continuously improve integrated program-management and Tool Installation & Qualification approaches that can contribute to the evolution of Micron’s global manufacturing expansion capabilities.
The successful candidate will be a senior integration leader who can connect organizations, processes, schedules, and data to enable earlier risk identification, better decision-making, and more predictable startup execution.
This direction is complementary to Micron’s existing Global TIQ initiative, which is focused on a globally standardized execution model, explicit ownership across TIQ phases, improved readiness predictability, and shorter cycle times.
Key Responsibilities
1. Maple/F15 Program Integration
Lead development and execution of an integrated startup framework connecting construction, facilities, procurement, logistics, tool installation, qualification, manufacturing readiness, and production ramp.
Develop and maintain the program-level integrated master schedule, including key milestones, interfaces, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and decision points.
Integrate functional schedules into an end-to-end program view that enables teams to understand upstream and downstream impacts.
Establish clear relationships between construction readiness, utility readiness, tool-installation requirements, qualification, and manufacturing need dates.
Identify critical and near-critical paths and proactively drive resolution of cross-functional constraints.
Evaluate the program impact of changes in scope, schedule, design, layout, tool plan, procurement, resources, and priorities.
Lead scenario analysis and recovery planning when changes affect key startup milestones.
Establish effective program-level change management and escalation mechanisms.
Provide integrated program status, risks, scenarios, and recommendations to site and senior leadership.
Drive alignment toward a reliable single source of truth for program milestones and dependencies.
The last point builds naturally on the existing Maple approach, where the project has emphasized maintaining a single source of truth across schedule, scope, and cost.
2. End-to-End Tool Installation & Qualification Integration
Lead integration across the complete tool startup lifecycle, including:
Tool Planning → Procurement → Logistics & Transportation → Receiving/Dock → Move-In → Facility Readiness → Tool Hookup → Utility Turn-On → Vendor Installation → Equipment Qualification → Process Qualification → Manufacturing Release
Specific responsibilities include:
Establish the integrated TIQ execution framework for Maple/F15.
Integrate tool plans and manufacturing priorities with construction, facilities, procurement, logistics, and resource readiness.
Define critical tool-installation milestones, interfaces,…
