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.
• 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.
• 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.
