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.

Job Purpose:

Lead and coordinate the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices across all utility systems in the semiconductor facility, ensuring maximum equipment reliability, zero unplanned downtime, and continuous improvement in operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

1. TPM Implementation & Coordination

  • Develop and execute a comprehensive TPM roadmap for all utility and facility systems (e.g., HVAC, process cooling water, DI water plant, vacuum systems, exhaust systems, compressed air systems, fire protection, office AC, and related infrastructure).
  • Drive Autonomous Maintenance (AM) activities by training and guiding operators on basic equipment care, cleaning, lubrication, and inspection.
  • Establish Planned Maintenance (PM) schedules aligned with equipment criticality and OEM recommendations.
  • Integrate TPM pillars (Focused Improvement, Education & Training, Early Equipment Management, Safety/Environment, and Quality Maintenance) into departmental workflows.

2. Performance Monitoring & Analysis

  • Monitor utility equipment OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and other TPM performance metrics (MTBF, MTTR, breakdown frequency, cost of maintenance).
  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for repeated failures and coordinate countermeasures to prevent recurrence.
  • Prepare and present monthly TPM progress reports to management.

3. Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Coordinate with production, maintenance, quality, and safety teams to align TPM activities with plant operational goals.
  • Work with engineering teams during new equipment procurement and commissioning to integrate TPM-friendly design.

4. Training & Culture Building

  • Conduct regular TPM awareness sessions, skill development workshops, and hands-on training for technicians and operators.
  • Promote a culture of ownership, discipline, and continuous improvement within the utility engineering team.

5. Safety, Compliance & Standards

  • Ensure all TPM activities comply with semiconductor industry safety protocols, environmental regulations, and cleanroom standards (ISO 14644 or equivalent).
  • Maintain updated documentation of maintenance procedures, checklists, and standards.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

  • Reduction in unplanned utility equipment downtime.
  • Improvement in OEE and equipment reliability.
  • Increase in AM participation rate by operators.
  • Successful execution of planned TPM milestones per roadmap.
  • Reduction in maintenance cost per unit output.
  • Achievement of safety and compliance targets.

Qualifications & Skills:

Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree /Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or Industrial Engineering.
  • TPM / Lean Manufacturing certification preferred.

Experience:

  • 12–15 years of experience in utility engineering or facilities maintenance, preferably in semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing.
  • Proven track record in TPM implementation and continuous improvement projects.

Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong knowledge of utility systems and semiconductor facility infrastructure.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills (RCA, 5-Why, Fishbone diagram).
  • Good leadership, communication, and training abilities.
  • Proficiency in maintenance management software and TPM documentation.
  • Familiarity with cleanroom protocols and semiconductor industry standards.

Work Environment:

  • Primarily within a controlled cleanroom and utility plant environment.
  • Requires coordination with multi-disciplinary teams and occasional vendor interaction.
  • May involve working in shifts or during planned shutdowns.
