Area Manufacturing Tactical Planner

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.

The Area Manufacturing Tactical Planner owns short-horizon manufacturing planning and execution coordination, translating weekly operating targets into clear daily and shift-level priorities! This role monitors performance to plan, manages changing constraints and deviations, coordinates recovery actions, and aligns Operations, Engineering, Equipment, and Planning partners to protect output, cycle time, quality, and manufacturing readiness.

This is an execution-focused role responsible for tactical planning from the current shift through the next several days. The planner provides execution feedback and identifies recurring issues that require longer-term technical, capacity, or system-level resolution by AME Engineers and other process owners. Come Join us!

Key Responsibilities

- Safely implement all responsibilities in compliance with Micron safety, environmental, security, quality, and documentation requirements.
- Develop and maintain daily, weekly, and short-horizon tactical plans that translate operating targets into executable lot priorities, tool allocations, line direction, run-rate expectations, and readiness actions.
- Monitor performance to plan, WIP flow, cycle time, holds, equipment and setup readiness, and other constraints; use manufacturing data and established decision criteria to identify gaps and adjust priorities within defined guardrails.
- Coordinate multi-functional execution across Probe Operations, Equipment, Process Engineering, Test Solutions Engineering, Site Inventory Control, Industrial Engineering, AME Engineering, and planning partners.
- Develop and drive recovery plans for equipment constraints, priority conflicts, material delays, setup issues, holds, and other deviations.
- Lead clear communication of priorities, plan changes, risks, actions, and decision status through shift handoffs, passdowns, tactical reviews, and daily operational briefings.
- Maintain accurate tactical plans, trackers, standard work, quick-reference guides, and decision records to ensure execution visibility, continuity, and disciplined follow-through.
- Support steep production ramps, qualification waves, new-product introductions, engineering activities, and other high-priority manufacturing events through structured readiness and execution planning.
- Provide execution feedback and recurring-issue insights to AME Engineers and process owners to support capacity, cycle-time, readiness, line-configuration, and systemic improvement work.
- Use approved artificial intelligence, automation, analytics, and digital tools to improve planning speed, data synthesis, reporting, communication, and decision support while validating outputs, protecting confidential information, and maintaining human accountability for decisions.

Minimum Qualifications

- High school diploma or equivalent; relevant technical certificate or associate degree preferred.
- 3+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, production planning, scheduling, line coordination, or a related technical environment.
- Ability to analyze production information, recognize execution gaps, and convert changing conditions into clear priorities and actions.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple teams and communicate decisions, risks, impacts, and status clearly.
- Ability to work independently within established decision frameworks and escalate when manufacturing commitments are at risk.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and common reporting, documentation, collaboration, and approved AI tools, including the ability to verify AI-assisted outputs before use.
- Commitment to safety, quality, documentation team, standard work, responsible AI use, and continuous improvement.
- Ability and willingness to work the schedule required to support manufacturing operations, including shift-based or off-hours coordination when applicable.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience in semiconductor, cleanroom, high-volume, or other technically complex manufacturing environments.
- Experience with production scheduling, WIP management, cycle-time improvement, tool allocation, constraint management, line configuration, or performance-to-plan processes.
- Experience developing recovery plans or coordinating response to manufacturing deviations and execution risks.
- Familiarity with manufacturing execution systems, scheduling systems, dashboards, Power BI, Tableau, SQL, automation platforms, or similar analytical and visualization tools.
- Experience using approved AI capabilities to summarize operational information, improve reporting, develop standardized communications, or support data-driven decisions.
- Experience documenting workflows, maintaining tactical trackers, creating standard work, or improving planning processes.
- Familiarity with Lean manufacturing, structured problem solving, root-cause analysis, or other continuous-improvement methods.
