Customer Product Development Engineer

Intel Corporation•Hillsboro, OR

11d•$141,910 - $269,100•Hybrid

About The Position

Join Intel Customer Engineering, part of Manufacturing Development and Customer Engineering (MDCE), as the company transitions from an integrated device manufacturer to a foundry. The team improves yield and performance on high-volume manufacturing technologies and supports foundry customers with technology integration and manufacturing success. The role is for engineers with expertise in device, integration, or yield engineering, or a combination of these areas. You will work with internal technology-development, manufacturing, test, product, and customer teams to deliver silicon solutions that meet PDK specifications, improve Unit-to-Wafer yield, and support customer requirements throughout technology and product life cycles. The position is hybrid and may be based in Phoenix, Arizona, or Hillsboro, Oregon.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a science or engineering discipline.
At least 4 years of semiconductor-industry experience.
At least 3 years of experience in one or more specified areas, including hands-on analytical work; semiconductor wafer-fab or manufacturing experience using device and yield-analysis methods and tools; or knowledge of process impacts on devices and interactions among device, process, integration, test, product, and yield performance.
Strong problem-solving, self-initiative, and self-learning abilities, with capacity to work autonomously and take ownership of complex problems.
Ability to manage ambiguity and turn broad or unclear problem statements into structured, actionable work.
Ability to work effectively across multifunctional and multicultural teams and organizations.
Strong organization and ability to identify patterns, abstract key learnings, and systemize and share best practices.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including explaining complex technical information clearly to varied audiences.
Strong analytical mindset and demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional projects to completion.

Nice To Haves

Ph.D. with at least 3 years of relevant experience in 300 mm startup and ramp of advanced logic process technologies; experience across an entire foundry technology cycle is a plus.
Experience in yield analysis (LYA), device engineering, integration, process engineering, process control, materials analysis, or related disciplines.
Demonstrated success leading task forces, continuous-improvement efforts, or cross-functional device and yield-improvement projects.
Understanding of test programs, products, process flows, foundry customer requirements, and technology-development cycles.
Familiarity with semiconductor analysis tools such as JMP, JVS, Genome, TRACE, AQUA, CB, and WIJT.

Responsibilities

Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver silicon manufacturing solutions that meet Intel PDK specifications and customer-specific requirements.
Partner with technology-development teams to ensure device and yield performance meet development milestones and customer manufacturing goals.
Analyze baseline and ongoing data across test sockets, devices, products, and fab processes to identify performance and yield-improvement opportunities.
Identify opportunities in test conditions, devices, integration, and fab processes to improve Unit-to-Wafer yield and manufacturing performance.
Develop data-driven models, physical interpretations, and yield predictions that support technology roadmaps and customer manufacturing objectives.
Support yield-improvement projects, device issues, excursions, investigations, and containment activities with customers and internal teams.
Define problem statements through data mining, identify patterns, draw conclusions, and communicate findings to technical and executive stakeholders.
Guide subject-matter experts in resolving complex device and yield problems while maintaining customer satisfaction.
Oversee change management and provide timely, clear technical reports and updates to customers.
Support customers from early project phases through technology development, product introduction, manufacturing ramp, and product life cycles.
Help customers use Intel manufacturing capabilities and lead solutions spanning device, yield, process, test, integration, and product domains.
Capture key learnings, standardize effective methods, and share best practices across teams, products, customers, and technologies.
