Equipment Development Engineer - Wafer BondingWe're looking for an engineer who wants to
build what comes next!As an Equipment Development Engineer on Micron's Wafer Bonding Equipment Development team, you'll help develop next-generation, first-of-a-kind (FAOK) wafer bonding equipment.
We take new ideas from concept to hardware, work directly with equipment suppliers to push system capability, and ultimately put those solutions into technology development and manufacturing.This is a hands-on development role with significant technical ownership. You'll work on precision alignment, overlay, bonding, controls, mechanical systems, automation, equipment data, and new hardware. When today's equipment can't meet tomorrow's requirements,
we figure out why and develop a solution!You'll work closely with process development, manufacturing, suppliers, and engineering teams across Micron. Together, we'll solve difficult equipment problems, develop new capabilities, and define the equipment roadmap required for future generations of Micron technology.
What You'll DoYou'll own important equipment-development challenges from
initial concept through manufacturing implementation. That includes developing new equipment and subsystems with suppliers, evaluating new technologies, qualifying hardware, solving difficult equipment problems, and continuously improving tool capability.
You will also:
- Own wafer bonding equipment performance, capability, reliability, availability, and productivity
- Lead FAOK equipment, hardware, and subsystem development with our suppliers
- Drive improvements in overlay, alignment, bond-wave behavior, tool matching, defectivity, contamination control, and equipment stability
- Develop equipment requirements, performance budgets, experiments, simulations, and data-driven solutions
- Use modeling, automation, equipment data, and advanced analytics to understand system behavior and find opportunities others may not see
- Lead equipment evaluations, installations, qualifications, upgrades, and major technical improvements
- Help define our wafer bonding equipment and technology roadmap
- Present technical recommendations and development strategies to engineering teams, suppliers, and leadership
- Share your expertise, mentor other engineers, and help us build a world-class wafer bonding engineering team
- Demonstrate AI proficiency and utilize AI-enabled workflows and tools for equipment monitoring, troubleshooting, data analysis, and technical problem solving to improve system performance and engineering productivity.
What We're Looking ForWe're looking for engineers who enjoy difficult technical problems and want responsibility for solving them.
You should have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical field, along with
4+ years of semiconductor equipment, process, manufacturing, or related engineering experience.
You should be comfortable troubleshooting complex equipment, analyzing data, working across engineering disciplines, and driving technical projects to completion. Experience with precision alignment, overlay, modeling, or complex electromechanical systems is highly valued.
Even Better If You BringExperience with wafer-to-wafer fusion or hybrid bonding; precision alignment and overlay; motion control; semiconductor equipment development; Python or MATLAB; equipment data and SECS/GEM; sensors and automation; FEA, DOE, PCA, or other modeling techniques; or direct development work with semiconductor equipment suppliers.
An MS or PhD and experience leading technical programs across multiple organizations, suppliers, or sites are also valuable.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who wants to take ownership, challenge existing equipment limitations, and help us invent better solutions.TravelApproximately
5-10% domestic and international travel may be required for supplier development and cross-site engineering collaboration.
