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. ## Required Responsibilities • Own the site-level RDA strategy and annual roadmap aligned to NAND TD technology nodes. • Lead analysis of experimental and production flows to detect, classify, and trend systematic and random defects. • Establish, track, and report program health metrics (baseline health, detection rates, false positives, MTTR). • Direct fast containment for defect excursions: trigger tool quarantines, define hold criteria, and lead 8D corrective actions. • Architect inspection recipes and sampling strategies; optimize sensitivity, throughput, and cost of ownership. • Partner with Process Integration, Yield, and Data Science to correlate inspection signals to device performance and yield. • Influence supplier roadmaps; evaluate, qualify, and release next‑gen optical/e-beam inspection capabilities. • Standardize and disseminate Best Known Methods (BKM) across global TD and manufacturing sites. • Mentor, coach, and upskill engineers; develop succession plans and technical ladders within the RDA domain. • Champion safety and continuous improvement (CIP); drive kaizen/lean initiatives that improve cycle time and learning velocity. ## Key Responsibilities • Serve as the technical lead for RDA methodologies and execution within NAND TD. • Perform root cause analysis using statistical, image-based, and data-driven techniques. • Develop, own, and communicate inspection and defect detection technology roadmaps. • Define program health metrics and drive continu
