Intel Foundry Advanced Device Development Engineer

Intel•Hillsboro, OR

2d•$136,900 - $269,150•Onsite

About The Position

This position is part of Intel’s Logic Technology Development team and is based in an advanced semiconductor cleanroom facility. The engineer designs, executes, and analyzes experiments to meet process engineering specifications and leads scientific research enabling the manufacture of innovative device architectures. The role sets advanced device performance targets for Process Design Kit releases and interfaces with Design and Foundry partners to address circuit-level issues. It assesses silicon-to-simulation health and readiness for high-volume manufacturing, defines test structures and programs to validate advanced design rules and extract device parameters, and applies statistical, data-mining, and other analytical methods to electrical-test, yield, and fab data to guide future development. The role requires a PhD in a relevant scientific field and at least five years of experience in semiconductor materials, fabrication, or device physics, or in electrical characterization of semiconductor devices. The position requires on-site work in Hillsboro, Oregon. The listed annual US salary range is $136,900 to $269,150, with individual compensation determined by location and other factors.

Requirements

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or a scientific field of study directly related to semiconductors.
