JR59073 SR. MANAGER, PD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

As a NAND Process Development (PD) Program Manager, you will work with Technology Development (TD), Operations Central Teams (OCT), High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) Fabs, and other stakeholders to drive best in class Cost performance for NAND nodes within TD and enable our HVM site partners. 

You will be in an Individual Contributor (IC) role with no direct reports; however, you will play a key role in establishing and managing cost programs to meet allocated capital expenditure budget, operational expenditure cost management; and deliver node-over-node cost per gigabit (CPGB) reduction targets meeting business requirements.

Additionally, you will drive Process Capability Improvement (PCI) of unit operation processes to achieve yield and device performance targets through the Process Maturity (PMI) and Constructional Specification (CSPEC) business processes. 

You will work in a fast-paced environment with the world’s Best NAND TD team in a role that is highly Collaborative and requires a great deal of Customer Focus; continuous improvement and an Innovative growth mindset are required to achieve desired results.  You will work within a Process Development organization alongside leaders and engineers from Fab functional Process Areas.
