When evaluating the competence of a talent with a certain role, generally the recruiter and the hiring managers wouldn't aim at a talent scores 9-10 out of 10, instead, a talent scores 6-8 would also be considered combining with other qualifications, among which the most valued one is the talent's actual actions of learning and self-improvement. The capability of taking actions set a challenging barrier for talents who only thinks and those not only thinks but also acts. In the daily work and life, the capability of hands on actions are also super important for people to achieve career and life goals. Taking action is the spirit that Micron has always been held and carried out. Micron does not just talk about the DEI, Sustainability, People, Customer first, Innovation, we actually devote huge resources in the realizing of all these concepts. Taking actions now!

What do you live about your job and the company?
Recruiting, consulting and participating in projects through the holding of values and spirits including tenacity, collaboration, Innovation, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, these are all methods, solutions and actions for a final purpose, the people. People has always been the very core motivation for me to take the role as recruiter and keep tenacity in the completion of complex and challenging tasks. Business is also very important for sure, but without the people, how could the product innovation and business expansion emerges, if not for the benefit of people, why should we devote so much to the business. I'm providing consulting to hiring managers from the talent market perspective in order to support on the product development and business development, but all these actions for the people in the end.

The talent market competition of semiconductor industry in China is quite fierce due to the huge domestic investment on it. Micron, like other semiconductor MNC, is facing big challenge regarding the talent competition from local semiconductor companies and other MNCs when attracting and hiring talents in, especially when it comes to R&D functions. My first challenge after joining Micron was dealing with a extremely urgent vacancy that had been opened for over 6 months which exceeded the originally planned start date for 120 days, and this put huge pressure to hiring department. I managed to fill this vacancy within 2 weeks from sourcing, interviewing, offer negotiating and offer acceptance by utilizing new sourcing and candidate management solutions. This revealed the pressure of the hiring manager vividly and I got praise from the hiring manager, at the same time, the candidate was quite satisfied with our offer after tough negotiation. This is one of my greatest moment in Micron for it showed the capability and tenacity of TA team and set up a standard of working capability and quality for myself. Within this successful case were the close collaboration between TA team members and the carrying out of our People, Tenacity, Innovation and Collaboration values.

For new graduates many fields of engineering are new concepts. For example Design for test can never be conceived in a graduates mind. Before joining design for test my thinking was restricted to only traditional design. This is in all accounts great to be a designer that you concentrate on the deeper circuit concepts. However unlike design limited to only a few circuits where one becomes a professional, in Design for test you get to experience how the whole design comes together. This gives a design for test engineer an edge in understanding design implications to things like yield, testability cost. Especially the cost of testing is the back-bone of production in pursuit of quality and affordability. But DFT sits at the sweet spot that enables an engineer to enjoy the best of both worlds of actual design and production. As an entrant, one would be looking for those positions where they can learn the most from to build their career. And DFT can be one of those positions.
