Intel•Hillsboro, OR

6d•$149,600 - $284,580•Hybrid

About The Position

Join Intel’s LTD team to help create next-generation computing technologies. The RET DR and Tech Def team uses current and future lithography manufacturing tools to drive Design and Process Technology Co-optimization (DTCO) and Design For Yield (DFY). The work enables advanced-node definition and extends the limits of feature sizes that Intel Foundry can pattern for semiconductor devices. The role involves professional software, automation, data, or engineering-infrastructure work in a technical environment, supporting engineering teams and semiconductor technology development. The position is based in Hillsboro, Oregon, and is eligible for Intel’s hybrid work model, which allows employees to split time between the assigned Intel site and off-site work.

Requirements
