Senior Data Scientist

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.

As a Senior Data Scientist at Micron Technologies, you will play a crucial role in analyzing and extracting valuable insights from large datasets related to semiconductor manufacturing, process optimization, and quality control.

You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative solutions that improve product performance, yield, and reliability!

Role and Responsibilities:

• Data Analysis & Anomaly Detection: Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) on semiconductor manufacturing data, including wafer fabrication, yield, and defect rates. Identify anomalies and outliers in semiconductor production data, suggesting corrective actions to improve yield.
• Model Development & Feature Engineering: Develop predictive models using machine learning techniques (such as regression, classification, and clustering) to optimize manufacturing processes and improve product quality. Extract relevant features from raw data, considering factors like material properties, process parameters, and environmental conditions.
• Visualization: Create clear and informative visualizations to communicate findings and insights to stakeholders.
• Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, physicists, and domain experts to understand semiconductor processes and translate business requirements into data-driven solutions.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay up to date with industry trends, research advancements, and emerging technologies in data science and semiconductor manufacturing.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master's or Ph.D. with a thesis in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science or related field. Practical experience with Virtual Metrology, AI, process control, yield improvement, quality control, semiconductor process engineering, image analytics, or related semiconductor field focus.
• 3 plus years in semiconductor manufacturing or artificial intelligence

Technical and Project Skills:

• Proficient in Python, with solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and statistical techniques.
• Familiarity with web applications and reporting.
• Experience with SQL and database management.
• Project experience in AGILE, Waterfall, Scrum, Software Development Lifecycle, JIRA, Change management, Release management, and Configuration management.

Tools and Technologies:

• ML frameworks: Decision trees, Clustering, Regression, Neural Networks, NLP, Pytorch, Big data, Tensorflow, Pandas, Streamlit
• Docker, Containerization, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Ansible, Elasticsearch, SSL, Microservices, data visualization tools (e.g., Streamlit, Tableau, PowerBI, etc.).
• Cloud Expertise: Google Cloud Platform, OpenShift Container Platform

AI Skills:

• Agents: Experience building intelligent agents using LLMs to support fab operations, enabling autonomous data querying, anomaly detection, and decision support
• AI specialization and Virtual Metrology/Modeling/Computation: Python library sklearn, xgboost, pycaret, etc. but the capability to learn any new package is most meaningful.
• Familiar with the general process of data science work like data extraction, feature extraction, feature selection and modeling.
• Familiar with the skills to take care of time series data (feature extraction, modelling, similarity measure of time series)
• Image specialization: Familiar with deep learning network CNN and package keras.

Technologies:

• Front End Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Typescript
• Frameworks/Libraries: Angular, HighCharts, Plotly, AG Grid, BootStrap, Ngx Bootstrap, RxJS
• High capability to learn any new package.
• Packaging: npm, Jenkins
• Backend/API: Languages: Python, Frameworks: Flask, FastAPI, Experience with RESTful APIs, Minor experience with WSLs
• Databases: MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Neo4j, BigQuery SQL, Snowflake SQL, basic understanding of SSL
• Tools: Git, Bitbucket

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience in semiconductor manufacturing, yield optimization, or process control is highly desirable.
• 5 plus years in semiconductor manufacturing or artificial intelligence
