As a Senior/Staff Product Quality and Reliability Assurance Engineer (PQRA), you will support reliability qualification and quality monitoring of High Bandwidth Memory products (HBM), help develop product reliability methodologies, and respond to product deviations as they pertain to quality and reliability. You will establish and implement requirements, specifications and metrics such as Defects per Million (DPM), Failure in Time (FIT), and Lifetime. In this role, you will work with multi-functional Engineering teams to ensure product reliability methods are established and followed, perform risk assessments, and provide support for manufacturing teams regarding reliability issues. In this dynamic role, you will have opportunities to gain new product knowledge on an ongoing basis!

You will:

Conduct New Product Qualifications

Define High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) qualification requirements
Comprehend failures and failure rate within the scope of the qualification
Perform risk assessment at all decision points within the qualification cycle
Review qualification data and sign off that qualification requirements have been met
Issue internal product release notifications for Qualification

Develop Product Reliability Methodology, Monitors, Metrics, and Specifications

Cooperatively develop and establish reliability targets and standards with technology development and product engineering teams
Comprehend new wafer fab and packaging technologies to identify and mitigate product reliability issues
Develop and improve product reliability tests to assess new HBM failure mechanisms
Coordinate and drive vital specification improvements for existing products
Review internal quality metric and drive customer DPM to BIC.

Establish and Implement Quality Requirements

Establish and review ongoing product Quality Metrics
Assess deviations for product quality and reliability risks
Data mining and correlation of all inline test data. Root cause finding and drive CA/PA.
Define evaluation necessary to mitigate risks
Review and support process Excursion Analysis
Communicate violations to defined release/acceptance criteria
Communicate issues and corrective actions across all Micron products

Provide Internal Technical Support for Customer Support Teams

Assist RMA Team with detailed analysis of returned material
Investigate manufacturing history and identify issues related to customer failure signature
Perform additional data collection as needed and per customer request
Develop Reliability Process Monitor (RPM) plans
Assist with necessary corrective actions at the manufacturing level
Comprehend field failure rates relative to internal failure rates
