Staff/Senior Engineer, Frontend Global AMHS

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.Join Micron Technology as a Staff/Senior Engineer for Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS), based at Hiroshima plant, where you will serve as the on-site technical anchor while simultaneously leading Global AMHS network initiatives. This role is pivotal in driving KPI improvements, ensuring operational excellence, and establishing scalable best practices across Micron's worldwide fab network.This position bridges site-level execution at Hiroshima plant with global AMHS strategy — accelerating issue resolution, reducing systemic risk, and elevating automation maturity across all high-volume manufacturing (HVM) sites — without increasing headcount at individual sites.Hiroshima Plant Operations & KPI OwnershipAct as the global technical lead for AMHS operational governance across all Micron manufacturing sitesDrive alignment and standardization of wafer transport, storage systems, and carrier purge solutions spanning the networkPartner with site AMHS teams globally for real-time issue resolution and partner concern managementDevelop and deploy global operational response strategies and standardized critical metric frameworksServe as the primary AMHS technical lead stationed at Fab15, owning day-to-day system performance and availabilityDefine, monitor, and drive improvement of AMHS critical metrics, including:Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)System uptime and reliabilityCarrier purge efficiency (N2/XCDA consumption)Wafer logistics throughput and cycle timeSorter throughput and scheduling efficiencyBWS and NTB availability and utilization ratesVehicle/OHT idle time — monitor and minimize idle dwell time of overhead transport vehicles to improve fleet utilization and responsivenessTo-Tool Delivery Time (TTDT) — track and reduce carrier delivery latency from stocker/buffer to process tool, directly impacting fab cycle timeStorage Utilization & Optimization — analyze stocker, BWS, and NTB occupancy rates to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure optimal lot placement strategiesCross-Fab/Floor Material Flow Optimization — handle inter-bay, inter-floor, and cross-fab transport efficiency to reduce unnecessary moves, congestion, and transport conflictsLead data-driven root cause analysis for recurring or high-impact AMHS eventsDevelop and maintain site-level recovery playbooks and Best Known Methods (BKMs)Equipment KPI and Wafer Logistics Flow OptimizationReview and support equipment capacity modelingAnalyze Fab offload, Probe wafer shipment, and wafer logistics performance data to identify improvement opportunitiesLead Sorter, Bare Wafer Stocker (BWS) with equivalent experience, Near Tool Buffer (NTB) operational health, workload scheduling, and contamination control complianceOptimize purge cycle efficiency, N2/XCDA usage, and system reliabilityDrive system-level optimization across wafer logistics including FOSB, HWS, BHWS, Hybox Packer/Unpacker automation solutionsOptimize NTB utilization to minimize tool starvation and reduce inter-bay transport demandSupport system build reviews, upgrades, and modification projectsSophisticated & Emerging AutomationLead evaluation and deployment of next-generation automation technologies relevant to AMHS and wafer logistics-Auto Packer/Unpacker process.
