About The Position

As a Process Integration Development Engineer in Intel Foundry's Logic Technology Development group, you will design, execute, and analyze experiments to enhance semiconductor process performance. You will develop integrated solutions using advanced materials and equipment to meet quality, reliability, and manufacturability requirements, and help transfer technology to high-volume manufacturing. The role supports development of silicon process technology and collaborates across engineering disciplines to advance yield, performance, and reliability. Work may include characterizing processes, qualifying materials and equipment, analyzing data, addressing process or tool issues, and working with product, module, development, and supplier teams.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Computer Science, Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Optics, Chemistry, or a related field; or a master's degree in one of these fields and at least 4 years of engineering industry experience.
Experience with materials characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, spectroscopy, or other metrology tools.
Experience with semiconductor processing fundamentals, including lithography, etching, polishing, chemical or physical reactions, or device physics.
Experience with statistical or data analysis tools such as MATLAB, JMP, or Excel, and familiarity with design of experiments (DOE) principles.

Nice To Haves

Proven experience in defect reduction or process integration within semiconductor manufacturing.
Knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods or advanced process controls (APC).
Expertise in advanced transistor device structures and architectures, including fabrication processes.
Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Perl, or programming languages such as SQL or C++.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset to foster trust and partnerships across engineering teams.

Responsibilities

Plan and execute experiments to characterize processes throughout the development cycle and improve product performance.
Develop and qualify materials and equipment to meet reliability, cost, and manufacturability requirements.
Conduct feasibility studies and identify process solutions with product and module engineering teams.
Use big data analysis to identify and resolve process design weaknesses or manufacturing tool issues.
Lead new product qualifications and support technology transfers to high-volume manufacturing using the Copy Exactly methodology.
Collaborate with development teams and material suppliers to align processes with technology roadmaps.
Organize and present process solutions to engineering teams to address customer requests or resolve issues.
