About The Position

Intel’s Advanced Packaging Technology Manufacturing (APTM) division develops and commercializes semiconductor packaging technologies for mobile, edge, and hyperscale computing platforms. The Assembly Technology Development (ATD) team develops package assembly solutions and scales them for high-volume manufacturing. Intel is seeking an entry-level Packaging Module Development Engineer for its Chandler, Arizona campus. The engineer will develop advanced thermal interface and warpage mitigation solutions, qualify materials and specialized assembly equipment, and collaborate with global teams to optimize assembly processes for quality, yield, and high-volume manufacturability.

Requirements

Master’s degree or PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related STEM field.
At least 1 year of experience in materials characterization, packaging process development, or mechanical testing; experience may come from academic research, coursework, internships, or industry work.
Minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
At least one publication as a primary or contributing author in a peer-reviewed technical journal.
Strong critical thinking skills and an aptitude for coaching, developing, and leading technical teams.
Flexibility in managing changing priorities, fluctuating timelines, and dynamic demands.
Strong interpersonal skills to align priorities across matrixed, cross-organizational business units.
Self-motivation and ability to independently drive complex research initiatives.

Nice To Haves

At least 1 year of semiconductor packaging technology development experience, including hands-on use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) or Design of Experiments (DOE).
Experience executing complex, time-critical engineering projects in a semiconductor foundry or manufacturing environment.
Experience using Python, MATLAB, or SQL to analyze multidimensional engineering datasets.

Responsibilities

Develop, qualify, and implement thermal interface and warpage mitigation solutions for future packaging platforms.
Work with cross-functional, matrixed teams to optimize advanced assembly processes for quality, reliability, cost, yield, productivity, and high-volume scalability.
Research and qualify next-generation materials, equipment, and fabrication processes to enhance packaging capabilities at scale.
Manage engineering project milestones to meet technology development and product timelines.
Apply statistical methods, structural judgment, and materials analysis to resolve complex packaging assembly failures.
Provide sustaining engineering support for equipment performance and process health in high-volume manufacturing lines.
Respond directly to foundry customer technical requests and promptly resolve process integration events.
