New Product Introduction Operations

Req. ID:

JR114107 New Product Introduction Operations

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.

# Role Overview

As a New Product Introduction (NPI) Product Lead within the Cloud Memory Business Unit (CMBU), you will lead end-to-end manufacturing and fulfillment execution for complex new-product sample demand across DDR, LPDDR, CXL-attached DRAM, GDDR and HBM-based memory products and solutions.

This role operates across the build-to-ship portion of the NPI execution chain, where material availability, manufacturing progress, yield, holds, finished goods, order readiness and logistics dependencies must be actively managed. You will organize cross-functional teams, expose blockers early, drive recovery actions and maintain momentum across sites and time zones.

The role remains grounded in NPI Operations: maintaining accurate demand and execution data, coordinating priorities, tracking builds against committed dates, managing exceptions and ensuring stakeholders receive a clear fact-based view of delivery risk and recovery.

# What You Will Solve

· Supply shortages, material constraints, stuck lots and unclear ownership that prevent builds from progressing to committed dates.

· Low yield, excursions, holds, rebuilds, test constraints and site-execution issues that require rapid cross-functional recovery.

· Mismatch between approved demand, finished goods, order information and shipment requirements.

· Pricing, sales-order, release, customs, logistics and waybill blocks that keep available product from reaching the destination.

· Execution delays caused by fragmented regional handoffs, incomplete status, slow critical issue or unclosed actions.

# Core Responsibilities

· Translate approved customer sample demand into executable build, recovery and fulfillment plans with clear quantities, priorities, dates and owners.

· Track manufacturing progress against committed achievements, including material readiness, WIP movement, test completion, finished-goods availability and shipment readiness.

· Partner with planning, manufacturing, test, quality and site teams to identify constraints early and drive recovery for holds, yield loss, excursions, rebuilds and missed build achievements.

· Validate alignment among demand records, NPI planning systems, order information, product attributes and finished-goods availability before shipment.

· Coordinate with Supply Chain, Customer Service, Pricing, Sales Operations, Sample Desk and Logistics to remove order, pricing, release, customs and delivery blocks.

· Establish rapid blocker-management expectations, with named owners, due dates, recovery commitments and timely issue when resolution is not progressing.

· Maintain end-to-end visibility from demand-line opening through build, release, shipment and waybill generation.

· Provide concise, fact-based status on delivery risk, root cause, recovery plan, revised commitment and required decisions.

· Create disciplined regional handoffs that preserve status, decisions, actions and accountability across time zones.

· Use analytics and AI-enabled tools to improve supply visibility, identify data inconsistencies, prioritize aging risks and reduce manual reporting effort.

· Drive lessons learned and process improvements that increase build-to-ship velocity, fulfillment reliability and execution scalability.

# Required Qualifications

· 5+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, supply chain, planning, operations, logistics, NPI or a related role.

· Demonstrated experience supporting new-product samples, qualification builds, production ramps or other high-priority manufacturing execution.

· Working knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing flow, WIP, yield, holds, finished goods, order processing and shipment dependencies.

· Ability to coordinate global manufacturing, supply, commercial and logistics teams and drive recovery without direct authority.

· Strong analytical problem solving, operational discipline and attention to detail in high-volume workflows.

· Effective written and verbal communication, including the ability to convert detailed execution status into clear commitments and customer concern requests.

· Ability to operate across time zones in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and schedules.

# Preferred Qualifications

· Advanced degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations or a related field.

· Experience with memory products or complex semiconductor manufacturing and fulfillment flows.

· Experience working across manufacturing sites, planning, customer service, pricing, logistics and sales operations.

· Familiarity with planning and execution systems such as SAP, Teamcenter and Power BI.

· Experience using data analytics or AI-enabled tools to improve supply visibility, recovery execution or operational decision making.

# How Success Is Demonstrated

· Approved demand progresses through build, release and shipment with clear ownership and fewer aged blockers!

· Manufacturing, supply and fulfillment risks are identified early and supported by credible recovery commitments!

· Holds, yield issues, order blocks and logistics constraints are resolved through a disciplined action and escalation cadence.

· Stakeholders receive one accurate view of build status, delivery risk, recovery and revised commitment.

· Recurring execution failures decline through stronger handoffs, standard work and preventive controls.
