About The Position

Intel Foundry Technology & Manufacturing is seeking an experienced engineer to own real-time automated material handling architectures, high-availability control software, and data-driven factory throughput. The role supports AMHS infrastructure that transports wafers and delivers reticles across high-volume manufacturing facilities at the Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres and Aloha campuses. The engineer designs, integrates, and deploys software for wafer transport, reticle management, and automated stocker systems; sustains distributed automation platforms; and improves tool availability and factory throughput. The position also owns complex escalations and root-cause analysis, develops data analytics and monitoring, leads equipment qualification and new product introductions, and works with global engineering teams to maintain standards. The role requires on-site work in a cleanroom, including walking long fab distances and working at heights around automated track superstructures, and may involve an operational on-call rotation supporting 24x7 manufacturing.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering/ECE, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline and 3 or more years of relevant industry experience; or a master's degree in one of those fields and 2 or more years of relevant industry experience.
At least 2 years of hands-on experience troubleshooting complex robotics, equipment, distributed systems, industrial controls, or factory automation platforms.

Nice To Haves

At least 2 years of experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities, preferably 300mm fab operations.
Direct engineering experience with automated material handling OEM systems.
Proficiency in SQL database query development and scripting languages such as Python, PowerShell, or VB script for log analytics and automated monitoring.
Knowledge of SEMI communication standards (SEMI E84, E87, E157, E40) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) integration.
Applied knowledge of factory physics, queueing theory, and Theory of Constraints (TOC) to improve cycle time and wafer velocity.
Experience with structured problem-solving methodologies such as FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, or 8D.
Experience with CAD/CAM engineering tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent, or automated layout modeling.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification.

Responsibilities

Serve as the technical expert responsible for AMHS performance, reliability, uptime, and continuous improvement in the manufacturing environment.
Monitor systems proactively, execute preventive maintenance, respond rapidly to Major Impacts, and evaluate and implement new technologies.
Participate in an operational on-call rotation to support 24x7 manufacturing escalations.
Design, integrate, and deploy end-to-end software solutions for 300mm wafer transport, reticle management, and automated stocker systems.
Debug, tune, and sustain multi-tier automation platforms, including low-level firmware, operating system configurations, database interfaces, and real-time scheduling algorithms.
Partner with IT Platforms, Networks, Middleware, and Module Equipment Engineering to qualify and integrate new automation capabilities without disrupting manufacturing line balance.
Lead structured root-cause analysis for system excursions and implement permanent corrective and preventive actions.
Develop SQL queries, Python automation routines, and PowerBI dashboards to monitor fleet health, analyze telemetry logs, and prevent systemic failures.
Identify and drive improvements to corrective and preventive maintenance through innovative ideas and enhancements, using DPO and DPG processes so improvements benefit all sites.
Complete equipment qualification to applicable specifications and contribute to global knowledge revisions based on qualification lessons learned.
Work in a cleanroom environment, including walking long fab distances and working at heights around automated track superstructures.
Collaborate with Intel's worldwide AMHS engineering network to maintain alignment with Copy Exactly! protocols and SEMI standards.
