Full Job Description
**Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.** Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing. 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. As a Senior Data Scientist (Smart Manufacturing and AI) at Micron, you will leverage advanced techniques from mathematics, statistics, and information technology to improve semiconductor product quality, yield, and productivity. You will develop predictive models, actionable insights, and AI-enabled solutions that address large-scale manufacturing and quality challenges involving die-level, wafer-level, test, and quality/customer-related data. Your work will directly help prevent customer-impacting quality events, reduce escapes, accelerate root-cause analysis and corrective actions, detect distribution shifts in manufacturing and field signals, and enable intelligent automation across Micron’s global fabs, bridging factory learning with customer-facing product quality outcomes. **Responsibilities and Tasks** * **Product Quality (PQ) Predictive Solutions:** * Build and productionize ML models (classification/regression) for product-quality prediction (e.g., escape prevention, failure-mode prediction, risk scoring) across manufacturing and post-manufacturing data. * Develop anomaly and drift detection/monitoring (e.g., Isolation Forest, autoencoders/VAEs) to identify emer
