About the Role Join Intel Logic Technology Development and help advance the next generation of patterning.
Business Group
Intel Foundry Technology Development is committed to delivering world-class manufacturing solutions that power Intel's product roadmap. The team leads advancements in semiconductor process engineering, enabling innovative device architectures and high-volume production. Joining this team means contributing to Intel's pursuit of excellence and maintaining its leadership in a dynamic, competitive market.
Join Intel Logic Technology Development and help advance the next generation of patterning.
You will operate in a high impact space, partnering closely with cross functional teams (Process Integration, Manufacturing, Equipment Engineering, Yield/Defect Engineering, and suppliers) to solve complex technical challenges and establish long term systems that sustain performance. This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities.
Drive technology development for future technology and high-volume manufacturing, provide process integration and equipment solutions, and perform feasibility studies to meet desired device specifications.
Own and drive development of the next generation patterning processes, including process architecture, optimization strategies, and qualification methodologies.
Perform pathfinding activities in support of process and hardware development on existing and first of kind equipment, enabling manufacturing of innovative device architectures and developing roadmaps for technologies enabling future roadmap.
Provide technical leadership for cross functional problem solving to resolve complex process and defect issues; drive structured root cause, containment, and permanent corrective actions.
Design and execute comprehensive characterization plans; plan and conduct experiments (DOE/response surface/robustness studies) across the development cycle.
Establish and mature control systems to optimize and sustain production performance (SPC, control plans, alarms, response plans, recipe governance, sustaining systems).
Develop strategies and infrastructure to resolve difficult problems and implement systems to manage these problems in the future (standard work, monitoring, dashboards/analytics, knowledge capture).
Drive improvements in yield, reliability, cost, productivity, and process capability, ensuring scalable transfer to manufacturing and ongoing sustainment.
Influence technical direction, mentor engineers (as appropriate for grade), and communicate status/risks clearly to stakeholders.
Recommend and implement modifications for operating equipment to improve production efficiency, manufacturing techniques, and optimizing production output for existing products.
Partner with key equipment and material suppliers to develop and implement enabling elements of the technology. Perform process technology feasibility studies through theoretical simulations and/or practical engineering methods.
