About The Position

This is an exceptionally exciting moment to enter the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Global demand for advanced computing-driven by AI, automation, cloud infrastructure, and digital transformation-is fueling the largest period of growth and reinvestment the sector has seen in decades. Semiconductors are now recognized as critical to economic resilience, national security, and technological leadership leading to unprecedented expansion in manufacturing capacity and innovation. For professionals in the field, this translates to rare opportunities to shape breakthrough technologies, contribute to globally significant projects, and be part of arguably the most rapidly evolving and impactful industry ever. Intel's Global Construction Engineering (GCE) organization is responsible for the design and engineering of Intel's major manufacturing and cleanroom facilities worldwide. Our organization consists of highly specialized, in house architects and engineers working in a deeply collaborative environment. Together with our factory, operations, and supply chain partners, we deliver some of the most technically complex construction programs in the industry-projects that demand precision, speed, and disciplined cost management. Our vision is to be the world leader in semiconductor foundry construction engineering, and we are expanding our team to support the acceleration of Intel Foundry's manufacturing roadmap. We are seeking exceptional, technical talent to join our organization that thrive in a fast paced environment that enjoys working with leading edge technology, and is motivated by opportunities to innovate and make meaningful business impact. Within GCE, the Tool Install Central Engineering group is a highly technical organization responsible for the design and execution of all semiconductor fabrication tool installations across Intel's global network. We complete thousands of tool install designs annually, leveraging standardization, continuous improvement, and robust metrics to ensure system health and operational excellence. Joining our team means being part of a global network of construction, design, and manufacturing experts who set the standard for semiconductor facility delivery. Our Design Integration Leads are highly valued leaders who guide the facility planning of our construction programs. You will manage Intel's mechanical and electrical utility distribution capacity all around the globe and integrate design between base build facility design and tool install design. We ensure adequate utility capacity is available to support the factory tooling requirements and drive facility construction scope where needed to meet the tool install schedule. You will have the opportunity to support design integration at many of Intel's manufacturing sites (Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Israel, Malaysia and Ireland) and proliferate systems and processes across the virtual factory.
